Yup, bought this one on Sale at Cabela's a couple months ago ... $189 minus a $20 coupon. Seriously thinking about ordering another!

One of those "pistol that never was" is one of my favorites. It handles great, and I love changing out the cylinders, which they also say historically wasn't done. Doesn't matter though, lots of fun.
You got a great deal too, so looks like you've got it all.
The 1st one of the little 5 1/2 1858's I ordered from Cabala's didn't seem right, I'm not sure what the problem actually was, but I sent it back and got a refund. Mine was $199 though.
Bought one a few months later from Gunbroker for less than $150 brand new.
Love it.
You can get some deals if you look every day. But many prices are silly.
People looking for the next dumb "fish" to swim by, makes me mad that people put lousy warn out guns on there and sell them high.
I guess folks don't check Cabela's. It has to be well lower than Cabela's or there's no reason to buy. I don't buy alot of them, but sometimes a deal will "swim by."
Also, on Gunbroker you gotta' watch it, some cats will charge you $30 or more for shipping, what a joke.
That is one of Doc's pet peeves there. But he's the reason I look every time before I bid. I've walked away many a time, because some slub is trying to pad his pocket, or pick mine with those $30 mail.
So be sure and check that guys.

I take mine out and use a loader. I got 3 with a '58 I bought from gunbroker. Then I can have an "18 shooter" instead of a 6 shooter.
Can't do that with my Colts.
That short 5 1/2 Remmy is one of my favorites, handles great.

Love mine, bought it from Cabela's 20 years or more ago. It's a hoot to shoot and crazy accurate, I may take a deer with it this year.

Ditto. Bought Dick Dastardly's "Tower of Power" loader some time ago, and it works great.

Down here in Central Florida the deer are the size of large goats, but up in Georgia and farther up north, the deer are much larger.
Are you sure about deer hunting with a '58?
How large a charge are you gonna' use?
Not tryin' to fuss with you, just curious,
