Nice revolvers. A "true" .36 caliber sized pistol. Both Uberti and Pietta make their .36 caliber 1858 Remington style .36's on the bigger .44 frames, so they are big and heavy for a .36 and larger than they need to be.
The Spiller&Burr is built on a smaller frame, so it is just about the perfect size for a .36 revolver.
If you get one, expect it to shoot extraordinarily high! It should print nice tight groups, just not anywhere near where you were aiming!
Pietta has not made these in a while - I haven't seen them available new anywhere for a couple years. They seem to make only somewhat small production runs of them - they are not a regularly stocked item anymore, it appears. Hopefully they will do another run of them soon, so if you find one, grab it!
Had mine out just a few days ago.

Old South Firearms is a good place to buy. I have purchased a couple of revolvers from them. Very satisfied.
Called Old South today and Lee said that anything listed as "back ordered" would take 6 - 9 months to arrive, and consequently they do not do backorders anymore.
