with a KIRST KONVERSION .22lr cartridge conversion cylinder with .22 barrel insert
this is probably a Uberti made modern replica of a Colt Model 1851 Navy revolver
UBERTI made 2nd Generation Colt Black Powder Series revolvers for Colt
“...probably a Uberti made modern replica of a Colt Model 1851 Navy revolver ...”
Very attractive piece. Good to know more manufacturers are offering conversion units. The Kirst setup looks like a step beyond, in terms of imaginative approach.
Handling qualities are irreducibly subjective, but the ‘51 Navy has always impressed me: the veritable pinnacle of perfection. Many have tried to outdo it, but it reigns supreme 164 years later. Simply the best combination of length, width, height, curves, and angles. Light enough to carry, sleek enough to wield quicker than a rattlesnake
The revolver in the image is suitably gorgeous, in blued steel, case-colored iron, and silver-plated brass. Alas, I fear we’re never going to see again, the paler slate-blue finish gracing the older (pre 1940?) guns. Nor the fire-blue screw heads either. Not on production guns.
