Just like the title says, 1851 or 1860? What do you prefer and why? Let's keep it traditional and assume that the 1851 has to be in .36 and the 1860 will be in .44 and both will be steel.

So I am seriously considering this piece or maybe even a pair. However, I have heard that Uberti's colt designs can suffer from a short arbor. Is this still the case? Is it so problematic that it impairs function? I guess I just struggle with Uberti being a quality manufacturer of firearms...
