A couple years ago I mentioned to my (83 year old) dad that I wanted to get into BP revolvers. Just the other day he asked what I was looking to get and I told him I'd really like an 1860 Army. He went to one of his safes and came back with this unfired Pietta 1860 Army "Lawman (fake ivory grips and fluted cylinder) which he gave to me! Needless to say I was stoked! Then I started doing the research and started reading about the poor quality of the early Piettas. My dad purchased this from Cabela's in February 1997, so I guess this is likely a 1996 manufacture. Oh well, I'll keep the charges around 25 grains and hope for the best. If it does turn into a wall hanger, at least it will still look good!
<edit> I think I'm already hooked - I haven't even fired this yet and I'm already looking forward to my next one!
