Also does anyone know of any other awesome looking replicas??

Answer 1

you get what you pay for

For the cost, it is a good replica.

If you pay more you can get a better replica

the best replica would be an actual firearm replica that has been deactivated

Note that this company has a custom shop, if you contact the custom shop they can create a deactivated model for you, or basically a model that was never activated.  Note, however, that these are $500 dollar guns and having the custom shop make you a special one will up the cost to $700

alternatively, you could get a blackpowder replica.  Cabela's used to have a Colt Single Action Army 1873 replica, but I don't see it in their catalog right now.   You can get some pre-cartridge replicas

Note, as these are black powder cap and ball revolves, they are NOT counted as firearms legally and hence can be purchased through the mail.  Of course, gunpowder and primer caps are not avialble through the mail.  Also, jsut because FEDERAL LAW does not deem them firearms, your state laws may differ, and once it is loaded and percussin caps are placed on, it IS then considered a firearm.

Also note, these are working reproductions, and are every bit as deadly when loaded as when the real ones were carried by Wild Bill Hickock.  His gun of choice was the 1851 navy in 36 linked above because it pointed the best and shot the best.  Hickock was undisputedly the best gunslinger of them all and many men died to his handguns. These are NOT toys.

But they are FUN
