I wish Denix would make this Colt replica in all nickel and in all black and make some of these Wells Fargo replicas with imitation ivory grips, surely it wouldn't cost a lot to make those small changes and the increased sales would be worth it. While Denix are doing this they might consider making a replica baby dragoon with a square back trigger guard and four in barrel but that would cost a lot more to time and money to do.
Good video, the Colt Wells Fargo makes a good hideout pistol and was very popular especially the 1849 models with loading levers. I'd like to see a all black model with ivory grips and a five shot cylinder with .31 chambers and maybe a 4" barrel.
Visually very good replica, very few were made with a six shot cylinder so I would prefer the earlier five shot, also a four inch barrel all nickel or all black or all grey. Plus a .31 cal barrel to match the chamber size. Small suggestions but would make this model more popular.
Just got one and I love it! I did my home work on the real one, before buying and found this correct in the 6 shot and no loading leaver for some of the 1860-63 versions. Close enough in all else to make me satisfied I could use it in fiction illustrating and writing as a good guide to the real thing. I even found one real one so close in detail on auction that I mistook for a Denix!
Love this pistol, it feels right in the hand and looks pretty neat too. Mine doesn't always line up correctly but I don't want to take it apart to see if it can be fixed. As suggested it really does polish up well. I also have all the accessories the real one came with, looks great on display.
