Bat Guano
Uberti makes wonderful reproductions of 19th century firearms. They also make handsome glamour photos of their products, such as this picture of their version of an 1860 Henry .44-40 lever-action rifle, 1858 Remington New Army percussion .44 caliber revolver, and an 1873 Colt Single-Action Army revolver in .45 (Long) Colt.
I had to shrink down these pictures as some of the originals were too large to post in /hr/.
The originals can be found at:

Colt Navy 1851 Conversion revolver.
It used to be a cap-and-ball percussion wheelgun, where the powder load, bullets and percussion caps had to be assembled in the cylinder. But with the advent of metallic cartridges, this model of revolver was converted to fire them by installing a modified cylinder to accept rimmed cartridges (such as the .45 Colt, .44-40, .45 Schofield, and the like), a flip-open loading gate behind the cylinder, and poking arm on the side of the barrel to hold a rod that could poke out expended cartridges that are stuck in the cylinder.

1860 Henry Rifle in .44-40, I believe. Some models fire .45 Long Colt.
A radically advanced model, made before the American Civil War, that used a .44 caliber rimfire cartridge.
For a civil war soldier, owning a Henry rifle was a point of pride. Although it was never officially adopted for service by the army, many union soldiers purchased Henry rifles with their own funds. The brass framed carbines could fire at a rate of 28 rounds per minute when used correctly, so soldiers who saved their pay to buy one often believed that the rifle would help them survive. They were frequently used by scouts, skirmishers, flank guards, and raiding parties, rather than in regular infantry formations. To the amazed muzzleloader-armed Confederates who had to face this deadly "sixteen shooter," it was "that damned Yankee rifle that they load on Sunday and shoot all week!" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_rifle

US Sharps 1874 buffalo hunter rifle by Uberti.
The big bison killers were chambered for the .45-70 Gov't (a .45 caliber paper-jacketed lead slug in a straight brass cartridge containing 70 grains of black powder and a percussion cap) and later for the bigger .45-90, .45-120, and some for the monstrous .50-140 Sharps.

Remington Rolling Block 1871 target pistol with a 9.5-inch barrel.
I believe these pistols were chambered in the massive "Big Fifty" Sharps cartridge for target shooting and close defense against large animals such as cougars and bears or perhaps against really irate Indians (if I had to endure what they went through, I would be angry, too).

Smith & Wesson Schofield .44-40.
The top-break Schofield also came in .45 Schofield (as well as other variations for domestic and foreign contracts, such as .44 Russian, and the like). The Schofield was a slightly shorter cartridge than the .45 Colt (used in their Single-Action Army "Peacemaker" revolvers of fame), so to avoid confusion, the Colt cartridge was usually referred as the .45 Long Colt. Some picky little peeves in /k/ rant when they see a reference to this .45 Long Colt, claiming there is no such thing. They are generally ignored.

Colt 1860 Army early fluted model & Remington 1858 New Army .44 caliber revolvers.
I personally prefer the Remington because of its strong full frame (as opposed to the open-topped Colts) and disassembly pin that is easier to pull out than the Colt's cross-bar restraining piece. Disassembly is important in these old coal-burning revolvers because the soot and fouling generated by firing them (lead shavings, patch grease, fragmented percussion caps, and burnt powder residue) causes these types of revolvers to seize up after about 40 rounds fired. They become so fouled that their hammers can no longer be pulled back. But break them down and scrub in warm soapy water cleans them up fine.
Also, when chosing a cap-and-ball revolver, get one that positively clips its loading arm to the barrel. The 1847 Walker Colt, although a very good revolver that packs the largest charge of the category, had a weak retaining spring that would sometimes allow the loading arm to flip down when the weapon was fired.
Anyway, that's all the Uberti glamour photos I have for you. there is more stuff in the RapidShare file. Enjoy!

Well, this was the stuff I found on the Uberti web-site and it would be remiss if I did not cite the source. Uberti is unusual in that they make beautiful and large photos of their wares. Gun manufacturers are infamous for posting really poor photos of their products. Except for toy gun & AirSoft stuff. Their photos are usually excellent.

sure we can criticize
it's bad enough that I hate to sit through all these weeaboo banners trying to sell me a fucking sword or kunais or whatever
but now i have to sift through high res ads in my threads as well?
fuck that

and I don't mean to hate on Bat Guano, but this would have been much more acceptable if you didn't croon about how awesome the site you got it from was
a simple source would have sufficed

Yikes!
I did not think that citing where I got the images from constituted a commercial or an endorsement. Chalk that up to my scholastic training where one must cite from all sources. I did legal research papers that had more than 100 citations.
Sorry to have upset anyone.

Well, some folks like 'em long.
Actually, those type of pistols are used as light carbines. They typically have shoulder stocks that snap-on to the back of the handle.
Such as this U.S. Cavalry commemorative cased pair of Colt 1860 .44 caliber army revolvers.
