You guys would have a stroke if you knew what I payed for it ! Told him it was worth much more, but he insisted since it had been basterdized , that was the price he was asking.
Got the holster and belt and about 75 rounds of reloads also.

Thanks Kenster. That barrel length is about perfect IMO. The reason I asked is because I have an old Uberti Cattleman, which came with my favorite SA grip of all, the 1860 Army. I cut it back to 5" and mounted a brass Skinner partridge front sight.

The only excuse I have for mentioning it here is that it was advertised as a 45 Colt, but arrived as a 44 Magnum. It turned out to be a great shooter.
