Go to Dixie Gun Works and look up "Shooters Model". They been making these
since the early niteties, mebby eighties don't know for sure. At the present
time they list for 900.00 They come from Pietta this way. I read they are built
On a different frame than the regular Pietta. They are assembled by a gunsmith.
The triggers are very light, no creep. The chamber dia is .456 and they take
a .457 ball same as the Ruger. The barrel is cut rifled .008 deep made with
progressive twist, that is to say it starts out at the forcing cone with a 1 in 32
Twist and gets faster as it goes down the barrel. The groove dia is .456 same
As the chamber dia. The lockup is very tight. Absolute no movement. This model
Has won several European championships. The frame is the Excacty same size
As the original. The grips are a little thicker than your normal Pietta grips. They
Are finished in oil. The bluing is the super polish deep bluing. It is a completely
Different revolver than the Pietta you buy from Cabales. There are some on this
Fourm who have them and can tell you more about them than I can. The top
Three in the world today are the Hedge which cost about 1700.00, the Pedersoli
which I think is around 800.00 and the Pietta Shooters Model at 900.00 All three
Are copy's of the Remington New Model Army. Oh, the front sight is a dovetail
So it can be moved left to right. It shoots dead on at 25 yds. I use 18 grs Swiss
black powder , creme of wheat filler and the .457 ball. CCI no. 11 caps. The
Nipples are the brass colored Tesco . The revolver is very well put together .
Reminds you of a Colt Python, or older S&W Masterpiece.
