Anyone have any comments regarding the quality, price, pros/cons of the following revolver: 1851 Navy .36 Caliber Blued/White Revolver

I was thinking about getting one but just wasn't sure if there was something more interesting to get in a 1851 elsewhere.

Hey mavracer, is that an 1860 Sheriffs model ya have there? And if so, is it a Hartford model...and if so...does it have the IAR cartouche on it? Sure are nice lookin pieces in those pics, I'm startin to really like engraving on these shooters of ours !!

Nope, It's a 1862 police by Pietta with a gated Kirst Konverter. Which by the way is incorrect being a 6 shot, the original Colts were 5 shot very small frames.Uberti's 1862 is more anitomicaly correct.

I went ahead and ordered one. $299.99 on sale at $239.99...sign up for Cabellas VISA and get $15 off. Special $5 shipping on orders over $150. Final price: $229.99

Not too bad a price I suppose. Hopefully it'll be worth it.
