Lately I’ve really got the itch to buy a single action revolver in .357. I’m thinking I want a Colt reproduction and I’ve been looking at Uberti and Pietta. I’ve read that Uberti has gone away from the four click action and started making all their single action cartridge revolvers with the...
Hello.
I just 3D-printed a loading lever clamp for my 1851, to prevent the lever from dropping under recoil when using heavy loads. It sure looks goofy but should work fine. The file is on Thingiverse:

Hello.
Please help me choose... I used to own a Pietta .45 Colt SAA clone and still have the RCBS 45-270-SAA mold, reloading dies and a bunch of cases, so I'd like to get another 45. I also have an 1897 SAA in .38-40 so I'm very familiar with the Colt's ergonomics, which I love.
Is the size of...
Today I experienced my very first chainfire using a new Pietta cylinder. Both I and gun are fine but the cause of chainfire is worth making public to hopefully warn others. The reason was directly me (for not checking all chambers thoroughly before firing) and indirectly Pietta for passing...
I have a pietta 1858 44 caliber revolver from 2020, I was wondering if I could buy a uberti 1858 18 inch 44 caliber revolver carbine barrel and put it on the pietta 1858 revolver frame, does anyone have experience or tried this?
Thank you for your time
I’ve been giving my Pietta New Army a good work over and am trying to figure a way to keep the hammer from striking the nipples. On my Pietta 1860 Army and my Ruger Old Army I don’t get the mushrooming nipples like I do on my New Army. It appears that on both the Ruger and the 1860 the hammer...
Hey guys I have been looking at buying a Griswold & Gunnison 36 cal replica lately. I have found Pietta makes one for super cheap that are readily available. I have also found some made by high standard on gunbroker but most of them are relatively old but I have read in some places that they...
Hello THR!
I have been doing some research but find myself all too confused about percussion revolver cartridge conversions back in 1870s.
I'm wondering if I could get a somewhat 'less fuzzy' answer as to what was the more prominent of the cartridge conversions in the old west before the Colt...
Background:
Some years ago I got an 1851 Pietta and shot it now and then. The last time I shot it I had a terrible problem with it sucking caps and getting into the action, and to make things worse, I didn't clean the innards. More time passed, I got it out, cleaned everything out, the...
So I just got my second 1851 Colt Navy from Cabelas. The first one had totally locked up wedge, so I had to return it.
On the new one, the "timeing" (if that's what you call it for the hand) of the hand is very off and makes it hard to load. At half cock, when you rotate the cylinder to load...
I have read over and over that Pietta has had some quality issues in the past, which have been fixxed in recent years, but I am going to be ordering online probably from EMF since them and taylor are only ones i find selling these, cabellas doesnt carry them, so i need to find out what were...
I have a question, what are the dimensions of the cylinder in the SAA BP, specifically, how deep are the chambers compared to a 1858 NMA? I ask because in the pics ive looked at, it appears to be a shorter cylinder than the 1858, but could simply be that it is thicker in the SAA and gives that...
This is my first thread and post though I have spent many hours reading and implementing many of the ideas on this site and a few others. This site and some of the others out there and the users on them have saved me a ton of time and frustration as well as money potentially spent on incorrect...
Hi All,
Just signed up to this forum because I like the informative responses and general tone of the conversations I've read so far. I have a question related to a new Pietta replica of the 1858 Remington. Specifically, I'd like to know what the correct procedure is to lower the hammer into...
I'm looking to get a holster for a '58 Pietta and I've concluded I don't want a slim jim holster or a flap holster. That's brought me to asking about a Triple K holster that has a strap that retains the gun. Is this the only option available to me?
I'm very new to blackpowder shooting and I've never had more fun shooting than with black powder guns. I've already got a '58 Pietta, but now I want to experience shooting the .36 and .31 caliber guns.
The Pietta Pocket is next on my list and I'm only looking at the steel frame model as in the...
