Do you think any of the big makers like Uberti, Pietta etc. will ever bring out any new models?
I'm not just talking about a new barrel length for one of their existing models, I'm talking an "all-new" model we've yet to see to hit the cap and ball market.
There are a lot of cool cap and balls that were used during the Civil War that weren't the same Remington or Colts we see reproduced everywhere. Guns like the Starr DA and SA, Adams, Savage Navy, and others are cool as well. I myself would love to see a repro of the Adams which was used on both sides of the war and is cool because it's a double action:
I think it would be really fresh and exciting to see one of the Italian makers come out with something we've yet to see. It's just all the same Remington or Colt/Confederate Colt copy type stuff. There's variety sure, but really how much variety? I for one thing it's cool there are so many Colt models out but personally feel like once you own one open top Colt, you've owned them all.
Sorry if I sound jaded or stupid... it's been a long day. What are your thoughts on this fellas?
