Major Wemyss Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Just got my new Cimarron 1872 Navy Open Top in .44 cal ( .44 special, .44 Colt, and .44 Russian), from CTD. I let my SASS membership lapse as I couldn't find any shoots around here (Panama City, FL), but I think a club has shoots about an hour or so from here so will rejoin soon. Been wanting an Open Top for a while, just love the looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollifer A. Dollar Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 FWIW There are 4 clubs currently shooting in your area. Panhandle Cattle Company shoots in Chipley on the 4th Saturday, Panhandle Cowboys shoot in Cantonment (north of Pensacola) on the 2nd Sunday, Red Hills Rangers shoot on the 3rd Saturday in Midway (west of Tallahassee) & Big Bend Bushwhackers shoot on the 3rd Saturday in Woodville (south of Tallahassee). PM me your e-mail address & I can have you added to all of their mailing lists. Holler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I just wish they made them in 38-40.....I wonder if a 38 special could be re-chambered and bored out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With enough $$$$ I'm sure. I know a guy that rechambers the 44 Colt/Russian to 44-40. Probably be easier to get a .44 and sleeve the barrel to make .40 caliber, then cut the chamber to 38-40.

Wild Ben VanDorn Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Black powder: the ONLY way to shoot an open top revolver! . . . or, in my opinion, ANY "old west" revolver, but then again, I grew up in this cult . . . Nice pieces, amigos! Y'all should be proud! Major, a big CONGRATS on your acquisition! No doubt you'll love it! Keep your (black) powder dry, Wild Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky L Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Two in 45Colt...with custom grips...added some "grain" and staining to get a "somewhat" look of aged ivory Slicked up by Boothill Bandit and hammers lowered by Ol#4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouchy Spike Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I'm a fan of open tops, prefer to shoot them than any other six gun. The vertical hammer spur is the only feature that detracts from an otherwise perfect revolver. Jackeroo and Lucky L, What's the approximate cost to have hammers reshaped?
