I'm going to forgo making any snarky comments about admiring from a distance vs. being loved on and used regularly. NOT!

Nice and yes it wouldn't stay quite that way with regular doses of black powder and lead....but still NICE.. :mrgreen:
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

Very nice!

But you HAVE to shoot it more!!!

I just gave a tuned-up Uberti 1860 Army to my nephew -- it's half the gun the SIgnature Series is, as evidenced by my Colt 1861 Navy.

Mine is the only cap n ball Colt I've had that was dead-on at 20 yards -- not shooting too high (Civil War soldiers were instructed to "aim at the belt" to ensure an upper body hit, is what I've read...).

I believe I read the 1860 Army was dead on at 60 yards .
The Pietta and this Colt both shot high at 25 yards by 12"
Meant for horse soldiers.
