Hoss, that's an 1860 Richards-Mason, isn't it? I really like the looks of it. But then again, I like the looks of all the open-tops, be they percussion or cartridge! Yessir... Richards Mason. I came by it in an odd way as well: went to the gun show and a fella was walking around with it... I had $300 on me. He wanted $350. I told him I had no doubt he'd get it, but I only had $300, and I wished him luck. He said "If you'll give me $300, I'll take it. Can't find ammo for it and I'm tired of carryin it around." Even a blind chicken finds a piece of corn now and then.

You guys are a bad influence! Just shipped out my open top Cap & Ball 1860 to Texas from the East coast for a little customizing and massaging! .... and put in an order for some nice leather for it from Rob L a week or so ago.

Well, do to some family issues and Christmas, I had to cancel my order for the Open Top. Besides, somehow they messed up the order at Cimarron and the gun got sent to Arizona!
I am thinking of selling my Pistolero .38/.357 and see if I can come up with an 1872 Open Top or a Type II Transition model. Wish me luck!

Well, watching Josey Wales again led to me adding a Uberti 3rd Model Dragoon to my wish list and I got it from the wife this morning. The horned toad showed me the way!!!

Craig, glad you got a 3rd model Dragoon. I have one also and it is one of my favorite BP revolvers. Just something about it. Post a pic when you get a chance.
