Sixgun Nut
I like the R&S and wish I'd gotten one when they were available new. Have no regard for the Ruger whatsoever.
I stupidly passed up a NIB Euroarms Rogers & Spencer at a recent gun show. Bet I won't let that happen again. I shot one of mine again today. Weather was nice for a few hours and I didn't want to waste the opportunity.I like the R&S and wish I'd gotten one when they were available new. Have no regard for the Ruger whatsoever.
Interesting thread. Does anyone know or has anyone recently bought a pietta 1860 from Cabela's? I have a nice Pietta made 1860 army 44 that I think needs a twin. I've bought BP revolvers from Cabela's before and gotten good quality from them but am wondering if they are still sending out good quality revolvers?
No, both companies can make good ones and bad ones.Is there a difference in quality?
Me either but side by side with the original guns Uberti looks like a closer copy. That and the quality of the fit and finish is what sold me on the brand. Pietta has really stepped up in quality but the dimensions aren’t as close to the original to this day.I'm not the expert but from what I've read and seen, Ubertis typically have a nicer finish. For example, Piettas will have all sorts of stuff stamped on the barrel like "BLACK POWDER USE ONLY", "PIETTA", etc. The Ubertis I've seen have stamps like that but they are hidden under the loading lever and more discrete. Makes it look a little more realistic, I guess. It doesn't really bother me, though. I have a Pietta and it functions perfectly and is pretty to boot. The trigger is very nice and the action feels plenty tight.
