The Winchester 1866 Yellowboy was in the original .44 caliber, the .44 Rimfire. That caliber is long gone, as is Winchester as a manufacturer of the 1866, but Uberti still makes them (and sells them under a variety of names in the USA)and chambers them in .44/40

The also makea very nice Winchester 1873 clone, in many variations. Here is the all-around 20" version, again in our caliber of choie the .44/40:

“...Uberti...”

And in the .44 mag, IIRC. Personally, I’d take one in any caliber I could get! ;)

Grew up on an old (even then) Uberti SAA Colt-copy in .22 LR or WMR, and loved it. My dad still has and uses it, and HE loves it. They had a rep then for crappy guns, but that one is a jewel, and always has been.
