About a year ago I purchased one of these revolvers in .22 LR and it literally self destructed within about 1100 shots! In the new Handgun alminac I noted that this gun is now being offered as a combo set with the .22WMR cylinder.
I wonder how long these will last with the increased pressures and hammering that the .22 mag gives?
Te revolvers frame is made of some alloy that looks all the world like a capgun! Chiappa touts this alloy as a major component of both the Western revolver and the 1911 copy that they market.
I am warning members here to avoid this product and instead invest in a Heritage Arms Western revolver, made of real steel.
It's unfortunate that manufacturers would market such shoddy products for over $200 and expect the public to buy them!
Please be aware of this warning and several others all over the gun forums! Save your money and buy a Single Six!
