Collecting the Replica .31cal. Revolvers
The .31cal. revolvers are an interesting group of replica revolvers that offer enough variations to be collectable by themselves. Listed are a number of variations that have been uncovered.

drjldavis , that is some fantastic information. I have been considering a 31 cal, that saved me a lot of research. Thank you.
Rock Island:
I have been looking into a steel frame .31 Remington, great information, thatnk you for posting it 8) 8) 8)
StrawHat:
You list the Wells Fargo, Baby Dragoon and the Pocket Model as all having 6 shot cylinders. I have a steel frame 31 caliber copy of the Colts revolver with a 5 shot cylinder. 6" barrel with brass backstrap and triggerguard. What is it? I always thought it was a Baby Dragoon. Thanks for your help?
drjldavis:
Thank you StrawHat,
The Replica Baby Dragoons and Pocket Models are five shot not six shot. Colt produced the 1849 Pocket Model in both five shot and six shot but I am not aware of any replicas with six shot cylinder. This was an oversight on my part in editing. This information is taken from part of the book that I have been researching for over 16yrs and I do my own editing up to this point, confuse information and do make mistakes. I'll try do be more correct in the future.
In the replicas the only difference between the Baby Dragoon and the Pocket Models is that the Baby Dragoons have a square back trigger guard. The Pocket Model with oval trigger guard without the loading lever it is the Wells Fargo Model.
