Can't help but think "Over-compensating much?"
This stupid-yet-awesome gun is connected to a myth. Confusingly the "1873" is not the date it began production. Uberti was not even founded until the end of the 1950's. The company makes replica firearms from history. So... when was it created you say? Well... sometime after 1959. But that's not important. What's important is the Legend. See the gun was made to resemble the Colt Buntline Special.
The Legend goes that Ned Buntline, an accomplished author and journalist in 19th century America commissioned 5 guns to Colts manufacturing company. All to be sent to 5 well known peace keepers the guns were based off of the colt peacemaker however they boasted 12" barrels.
The origin comes from a biography of one of the supposed peace keepers: Wyatt Earp. There is little to no evidence to support this story however. It's apparent 2 of the 5 lawmen were not even lawmen at the time.
Colt recreated the gun in the 1950's due to customer demand.
As for the actual CG aspects, This is the High-Poly model of a gun I'm creating for a game. I also haven't included the back sight on this model. it's not textured but rather I just stuck some of my personal materials onto the model to quickly get an Idea of what it'll look like in the end.
