    What I like is that those guns were made as cap and ball ones, were in good numbers converted and, later on, were built as "conversion" models.
    So, in the end, you have all possibilities.
    Uberti makes them with the possibility of buying two cylinders: one for cap and ball and one for cartridge.
    I find that nice enough to start thinking about one of those wheel guns.
    Plus, that revolver is really good looking to me.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I must say, that was what drew me to take possession of the early handguns in the first place. I liked the look and even the feel in hand. It was when I was shooting the mood was broken. Guess I was too spoiled with swing out cylinders and magazines...

    You’re spoiled, that is certainly true
    In my downshifting strategy, a bit of soil in the barrel might be the right thing.
    Few rounds, time between shooting and reloading, smoke, dirty fingers...
    I’m starting to fall for that gun...

    Turns out, I'll ride by a guy, during my holiday, who is selling a Uberti replica of a Cattleman with 7.5" barrel.
    I'll go see it and probably buy it. The gun, although the pictures he made are awful, seems to be perfect, and the price is very good.
    Let's see if I'll enter the SA world this way.
    Plan B remains to buy the Remington 1858 for Christmas. That one new.
