Which cap and ball revolver is better looking?

[Delmar]

Which of theses cap and ball revolvers do you think is better looking?

The 1858 Remmington

Or
The 1860 Colt

 

[Redskinsfan]

I'm gonna go with the Remington.

The Colt is WAY better looking.

Hard to say. I like the octagonal barrel of the Remmingtom but like the case hardened color frame of the colt. Also like the burreled walnut look grip of the Colt. Guess Ill go with Colt.

 

[paperboy]

I gotta go with the Remington as well

How about a Remington with a case hardened frame?

I have one with a brass frame I sort of like a lot!

Although the 1858 looks much more modern,the 1860 looks just right. 1860 it is.

Winner winner chicken dinner! That is a good looking gun! IMHO!

I think the colt is a better looking gun. I like the open frame.

That clip is as close as the movies ever came to showing how people reloaded a cap and ball revolver. They had a similar scene on Hell on Wheels this season. Two gun fighters both had spare cylinders but the good guy won because he was able to reload his Remington faster than the bad guy with the Colt.

Both look nice. I think you should get one of each.

I have a Uberti / Remington copy, love the Brass frame and Hex barrel. I had one of the Colt second generaton Black powder series revolvers, case, flask, tin and nipple wrench but I found a Henry Big Boy 44 Mag. I needed worse so it found a new home.

 

[Mosinguy]

I like the Remington.

THREAD JACK: Since a cap-and-ball revolver isn't considered a firearm, is it legal to carry without a LTCH?

 

[threedhuntr]

LOVE the look of the Colt.

YES

I say you ditch both and pick up one of these...

The Howdah pistol is cool as heck, but you better get it done with two shots!
