Cowboy guns?

I know some of you guys grew up watching TV westerns. They were ubiquitous in my youth, and even now, my wife and I sometimes watch old Gunsmoke episodes. If you watch that show and any of the myriad others like it, one would think every swingin' d*ck had a 1873 Colt "Peacemaker" strapped to his leg. In reality of course, it wasn't quite like that. At any rate, I've been wanting one of those Colts for years now. Authentic Colts are pretty expensive so I settled for a Uberti replica. They are beautifully built pistols, and very authentic in every detail, including the patent dates engraved on the originals.
I bought one today through an auction on Gunbroker.com. I'll be sending the money order tomorrow and the receiving FFL should have it middle of next week I'd guess. The one I bought is called the Cimarron Pistoleer model, in .45 Colt caliber. I saved the seller's pics; I'll be taking more later I am sure! I'm pretty stoked about this and have already ordered 250 rounds of ammunition and now need a good left-hand holster for it too. I also would really like to own a Uberti Smith&Wesson Schofield Model (1876) replica as well. I think they are just so beautiful and cool, but about twice the price of the Colt clones!
