Those are some beautiful guns.

Goex stands for Gearhart Owens Express . The original manufacturer of black powder! Not the first but nearly the last company!!

Wonder if they will be back?

Original Colt's, if memory serves me correctly, were "regulated" to 75 yards. As a battlefield weapon it may be the only firearm a commanding officer would have carried, so he would have to be able to use it out to distances sometimes approaching 100 yards.

The problem with the Uberti replicas of the 1847 model Colt's is that they just aren't made as well as the hand fitted originals were. One of the biggest issues with them is that the edges of the striking surface of the hammers are left too sharp, and you really need to take a small file, or an Emory board, or even just sand paper, and round off the corners of the hammer face a bit. The sharp corners bite into the soft metal of the caps when they fire, and cause them to stick to the hammer just enough that when you cock it again, the hammer will lift the busted cap off the nipple, and drop it into your action. That's really inconvenient. Just smooth off the edges of the hammer, and it will quit doing that. The originals never did that.
