The Cattlemn are B/P. Uberti made a run of SAA's which have B/P cylinders which are loaded off the gun, using a small press. Caps are fitted to the nipples via the loading gate. Armi San Marco also did a version, but it wasn't as nicely finished.Originally Posted by Mousemann
Simon, I thought the Cattleman was a cartridge gun?How do you get that, or are you not in the UK?
And another general question for anyone here - which .36 revolver is a good fit for bigger hands? I'm moving to an R&S for the .44 for that reason so need something of that ilk in the grips department.
As for a "bigger" .36, have you looked at Pietta? They chambered some of the 1858 Remy copies in .36 and called them the New Model Navy, or something like that.... Uberti also do a .36 Remington.

I second your first question, Mousemann.Simon, I thought the Cattleman was a cartridge gun?
And another general question for anyone here - which .36 revolver is a good fit for bigger hands? I'm moving to an R&S for the .44 for that reason so need something of that ilk in the grips department.
As to your second one: which .36 or .44 are best for SMALLER hands?

They're all beautiful, Simon!
Of the lot: there's something very distinctive about the Rogers. And you just can't beat the look of the long-barrelled Colt Navies.

Thanks Jim!
Here's a couple of better pics I took of the Navy Sheriffs when playing with the camera.....
The cartridges in the loops of the belt are .32-20, for an original Marlin 1894, which was made in 1894!!
