I purchased one after watching I Never Met A Gun I Didn't Like's video that he did not too long ago on the Tuco Special. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. I personally would have liked for it to have been chambered in .38 special since .45 Colt is hard to find and twice the price as a box of .38s.
Thank you and Im glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you enjoy your Tuco Special as much as I enjoy mine. I too agree with you about the .38 vs .45, especially with today's ammo prices and availability.
@@jongrossardt7542 The Tuco Special is built from an 1860 Long Cylinder conversion revolver that is chambered in 45 Colt. He just added the Leech and Rigdon barrel and a lanyard ring.
I hope you guys see there at Cimarron. On the same idea of this movie gun, I would love to see you make the movie gun of the walker from josey wales. The info i saw it was chambered in 38 for the blanks they used. But would be cool in 45 colt. I might be wrong but no one sells a cartridge converted walker. I know they have aftermarket kits to do so. I know everyone loves the walker Especially if it was a josey wale's movie gun.
Cimmaron is an nothing but an Importer of Firearms.... Most of their handguns are made by Uberti or Pietta in Italy, and Rifles and Shotguns mainly are from Japan.....
wish you would a lot more cartridge conversion & leave the loading lever on, wells Fargo would have looked a lot better if the loading lever was left on it. 1862 pocket police would be cool as a cartridge conversion as well.
I own a Cimarron "Colt" 1771 PAT model. 357 MAG. (4 clicks) I put the Silver Rattlesnakes on the handles and have a complete "Man With No Name" outfit in detail (can be seen on my channel). It is absolutely PERFECT in every detail. I love my Cimarron Firearms gun and will get the "TUCO" model soon.
Thank you MR Harvey for the interesting history and development of that gun. I look forward to your company producing more unique guns from classic western films and history.
When will we get reproduction Adams revolvers, Colt 1877 actually with double-action/single-action trigger, and the Webley revolver? They are still making Webley revolvers in India. Maybe you guys can partner with Webley UK to manufacture drop-safe Webley revolvers for the US market.
Not only did The Good Bad and the Ugly movie get guns mixed up, they also got time the frame mixed up. The Civil War period didn't have cartridges, also the first gun that Tuco picked up in gun shop was a 1868 Galand, so that to is wrong. Furthermore I always thought that was a fake gun til I looked it up........
Well there were paper cartridges, but they were kind of expensive for the time. Metallic cartridges were the rarity because of how finicky and expensive they were to produce at the time. They became commonplace when people got brass casing’s figured out.
There were metallic cartridges during the CW. They were rimfire, like the Henry rifle .44, which many gunsmiths converted 1860 Army revolvers to. Also S&W purpose made rimfire revolvers and patent infringing off brands like the Moore 7 shooter. The movie "Last Stand at Saber River" has gunsmith conversion 1860 Army in 1865, implying that the gunsmith has done it before.
@@bedeodempsey5007 Your right, rimfire was for the Henry 1860 lever action rifle, but I think there was any cartridges for revolvers til 1870s, thus making Pale Rider is more accurate movie.......
@@job38four10 actually "Pale Rider", while swapping out cylinders, Clint was carrying cartridge loaded cylinders. Remington came out with a cartridge conversion in 1868, paying S&W a royalty on the Rollin White patent. There were numerous companies infringing on the patent and S&W required Mr White to sue every company that did so. Many of them made revolvers during the CW.
Given the caliber, frame, barrel style, and overall size, not Leech and Rigdon, a Colt 3rd model Dragoon cartridge conversion is a better fit IMO. Consider the time period the movie was made in, and it's budget. In the mid 60's the Italian makers were pretty much sticking with main production repros, Walkers, Dragoons, Armies,, Navies, etc. United Artists gave them some good money to make this movie, but they didn't give them a blank check, and Eastwood was bending them over on his demands for compensation for the role. So, they would not have spent $$$ for a custom conversion from scratch. A Dragoon conversion would be primarily off the shelf parts. But hey, this is very high up on my list for purchase, once I've gotten a good '73 Winchester taken care of. :) I own the Cimmaron New Army conversion, and have been waiting for a long time for an open top conversion like this, and being so similar to the TGBU movie gun is a bonus! Coming from Cimmaron and my experience with them for quality, makes it an easy purchase decision, too.
Can you do a video outlining which models have that floating firing pin and which ones do not. I want them without, but it is near impossible to tell looking at a website to determine if it has it or not. Love your firearms.
I really like the Tuco. Have wanted a pair to shoot SASS with, but every time another batch comes into the country, I don't seem to have the money. Maybe someday ........
I just got the 1858 preacher from them. California is making me wait… smh. Turns out it’s the same model angel eyes used. Looks like I need the other two now. Gotta have the set.
The 1860 Long Cylinder that you rejected was picked up by Taylors & Company and I was lucky enough to get one of the first ones which had the blued steel grip and backstrap. I like the rear right on the bbl. much better than a V notch in the hammer like the Type II conversions.
@@bedeodempsey5007 Yes the 1860 Long Cylinder is a beauty! I'm very happy that Taylors & Co. imports them. The rear sight mounted on the barrel makes all the difference for me. The Tuco Special has a taller more visible rear sight that is easier to get on target and the i/2" shorter bbl. makes it handle just a bit better. I love all the Uberti reproduction guns, I would love to own them all! It's too bad an American company couldn't produce firearms like the ones Uberti makes. Oh well, I'm happy owning and shooting the one's I have.
@@dickgoesinya9419 I agree about the sights on the barrel being superior. Both my Long Cylinder and Man With No Name 38 Navy (w/o the $300 snake on it) are great shooters. I also have the steel frame Long Cylinder that I picked up in Evanston, WY three years ago.
@@bedeodempsey5007 Cool Beans Brother!! I like the blued steel frame on the Long Colt a little better, it gives it a little different look. Right now, I'm saving my pennies for the Man With No Name 1851 Conversion. I planned on getting it without the snakes as well and just buying the snakes and putting them on myself. I found a website called Straightline collectables and ordered the snakes (both sides) so I would have them, they were very hard to find. Last night looking on their website, I found that they have a replica "For a Few Dollars More pocket watch" that plays the chimes, so I had to have that. Now it will take me a couple months more to get the 1851.
Got the Tuco model a few months ago, I completely disassembled it and polished all the internal parts, fixed the excessive over travel on the trigger and reamed the cylinder throats to make it uniform .4525" and now it shoots like Tuco's
Great video. But I don't know... I watched the whole movie again, stopping and rewinding various Tuco scenes, and there might be one instance where he *might* have had a round barrel in his hand. And the only reason I am saying that is because of the way the light shines off the barrel. It doesn't look like it's reflecting off of a flat. But I am picking up my Tuco Special tomorrow. Regardless ;)
Will the other 1851 conversion still be available? Model #CA9081, the one that is the same as "Blondies" but has the standard wood grips, and no lanyard attachment?
I've seen them for sale online, supplies of them are erratic at times, just like everything else these days. But they're out there. Bud's guns usually has the best prices online.
Are you guys going to rerelease the 1897 pump shotgun? Also would you guys be doing a SXS with exposed hammers? I would love to pair one of these with my two 5.5in frontier models, also my 1873 saddle rifle the color case hardening is so beautiful! Would love to match them!

I'd agree that a .38 Special version would be more true to the movie as 1851 Colts were .36 BP or .38 Colt for cartridge conversions.
