I inherited a Uberti 1873 Winchester clone in 45LC from my late uncle - I love this rifle (just as he did).
Anyway, I think I've been bitten by the "guns of the old west" bug because now I want another lever action rifle (probably a Henry clone), a Sharps rifle of some flavor, and a single action revolver. They look totally badass, are a joy to shoot, and you really feel like you're holding a piece of history (even with a clone) when you're slinging lead down range. Most of my money goes into my AR, SCAR, and AK collection, but western guns are the next best thing in my book. So, what's your favorite pistol, rifle, or shotgun from the Old West? Something you already own or something you want? In my opinion, this is the most beautiful gun ever made:  |

I have a gun built on a Ballard frame, but a Winchester 1885 is a better gun. A Sharps and a Schofield would be okay, too. |

I have an original Colt 1873 from the Custer range guns. I also have plenty of other original old west guns to go along with it. You can't really have a favorite when they are so interesting and unique.

Out of what I own:
It's hard. I have a lot of old west period guns, Colts, Blackpowder revolvers, close to 40 suicide specials, Merwin & Hulberts, S&Ws, Colt New Services, Winchester leverguns, etc But I would go with my My unholy trifecta: Colt SAA 4 3/4" nickel w pearl grips in 99% condition made in 1903 
Winchester 94 in 30 WCF made in 1903 Winchester 1897 12 Gauge made in 1903 For a modern repro, my Hand of God (USFA w CCH and engraving done by Gary Reeder and grips by Outlaw Grips. Joe Perkins made the same set for 3:10 to Yuma) 
What I'd love to pick up: Merwin & Hulbert Pocket Army w skull crusher grip frame in 44 WCF 1873 Winchester in 32 WCF that's sitting in my local Cabella's Chicago Palm Protector |

This Too, with that new cartridge conversion. 
And, of course, this. The Quigley is nice, and it makes me moist. But there is just something to the stipled pistol grip stock.

the revolver was cool, but the lever action has more ballistic terminal stopping power. but the best had to be the canon.
