1860 Army Richards Mason conversion till the 73 came out
For the pre-cartridge era, 1851 Navy
Post, Colt SAA in 44-40 to compliment the 1873 Winchester in the same caliber.

Ever dissemble a Colt Thunder then try to put it back together so it works?
Me Id go with something made consistently to kill, namely A Colt 186o Army.

i agree with the 1860, but that's because it fits my hand

I can easily understand, the 1860 is the most beautiful and racy Colt, the stock is excellent and it shoots well (my favorite Colt revolver)...
The Remington Belt Single Action Revolver is light and sturdy enough to carry all day, its .36 caliber is very effective and its mechanics could not be simpler...
I don't think men used to carry the big, heavy, impractical Remington and Colt .44/45 caliber for the day. Maybe it's just a figment of my mind: I wasn't in America then, and in fact, as far as I can remember............... not at all... but .36 caliber certainly must have been more common
Now and only for fun, I would be happy to carry my ROA on my hip: this weapon has become a classified weapon by law in France (in Absurdistan in fact) and I rarely get to use it even though it is my best pistol...

The Navy model was slightly more popular than the Army model. 215,000 Navy units vs. 200,000 for the Army model. I’m sure it varies by locale, but my family are westerners and the revolvers we used going back three generations before me were either 44/45 or .22 caliber. One of my uncles carried a 38 Super.
This is the place I grew up on, many of my family never carried pistols daily. My grandfather did and when I was on the home place I did too. The road you see there leads to one of the line cabins. I spent many months up there and in the others too. A pistol is a welcome diversion.

This is a beautiful country and I envy you, not too many neighborhood problems, beautiful nature everywhere you can look, it's fantastic.
Where I live, everything is somebody's property anywhere you go. There are towns and villages everywhere, houses too, and everywhere you look, you see only cultivated fields and dried up marshes and almost all the trees have been cut down to spread the land and let the tractors and plows pass through.....
It is not beautiful, and it is sad...
