I know there are several makers of black powder revolvers such as Uberti and Pietta etc. Does anybody know what brand the revolvers at Cabelas are? The catalogue I got here shows a picture with what I can almost make out "Pietta" on the barrel, but I'm not sure. I'm new to BP shooting, and want something with the best of quality and is fun to shoot and easy to take care of. I was looking at Cabelas 1858 New Army Stainless Steel .44 Caliber Stainless Target Revolver with Kit. From what I see, this is the best one they sell of the 1858. I think I want the 1858 because of the solid top strap and that it is easy to remove the cylinder.
My question, is the Cabela stainless 1858 model mentioned of great quality? What manufacturer makes the best "shooter" BP revolvers?
P.S. Are there any reasons I shouldn't get a stainless BP revolver? Are they less accurate because of the material? Or is the only difference the price? I think stainless would negate some of the negative points about BP shooting, such as being a lot more corrosion resistant. Here is a link to the Cabelas stainless 1858 I mentioned. It looks like a great starter set!
Basically, I want a shooter, not an exact authentic reproduction.
