Difference between EMF Great Western II and Pietta from Dixe?

[gilgsn]

Hello,

I do know that the GWII is made by Pietta for EMF. I wonder however if there is a difference between the GWII and the regular Pietta sold on Dixie Gunworks...

The GWII is listed at $450, the Pietta from DGW at $395. Note that the photo on the DGW site is the same as the Uberti. So, they used the same photo for both guns!

Is the GWII from EMF a better gun, or is it the same? Anyone knows?

Thanks.

I have this gun and it was bought from EMF..

I just took it out of my Safe and I am certain they are the same gun. Knowing that , based on what I am looking at in the picture from Dixie Gun Works , I would buy the gun from them , since it is lower in price. I like the action on my Pietta gun much better than my Uberti guns. They are much smoother out of the box. You will not be dissappointed.
