That's a nice one!
According to the video, 1:19".
If the cost is 3-4 times that of target Pietta/Uberti's then the gun should have groupings 3-4 times closer, should last 3-4 times longer, and should basically be 3-4 times better a gun.
yup.
I'll take you up on that. How bout we have a competition: you shoot a Pedersoli 1858 and I'll shoot a Heritage .45. We'll start by shooting 100 rounds through each and then without any cleaning, we'll start the target competition. We'll see if your theory holds up then.
No, I'm not the last word, I'm just talking common sense, but most people don't have that anymore.
Pedersoli makes great guns, they have a few rifles that I'd love to get myself, but their revolvers leave me thinking they're not worth it. Of course, worth is a subjective matter and what I don't know is what the guy intends to do with the gun.
No argument here, but what I question is the result that a Pedersoli will get you over another gun.
I'll let you revel in this long and rambling statement that shows you have too much time on your hands.No junior, I used the word I was "looking for". Proletentiousness is a sort of twisted reverse form of snobbery. To be a snob about things that are less expensive. To be a snob about your proletariat background. To turn your nose up at those who may afford more expensive possessions. Be it guns, cars, boats, motorcycles, homes, clothes, jewelry, etc.. The need to believe that people pay more just for a name or only to show off. That you have somehow got the leg up on them and make the wiser choice. Which brings me to my question for you, why are you getting so defensive at the suggestion that a Pedersoli is a better made gun than a Uberti or Pietta? I have 17 guns between the two makers and I'm the one who made the suggestion.
Where did I say that?
Doesn't work that way. Anyone with much experience would know this. The kid who has done nothing but drive and tinker with go-carts has little business passing judgement on what makes a good road car.
Then you are inexperienced and short-sighted.
Is that how blackpowder competitions are done? What does a Heritage cartridge gun have to do with it? I suppose you'd get equally bent out of shape if I suggest that Colt and USFA SAA's are significantly better guns than your Heriage???
Your logic is seriously flawed and not based in reality. Common sense indeed.
It really doesn't matter what you think, because you have no experience to support it. Only very obviously uninformed opinion.
I already figured that was a waste of time. You already know everything.
That's exactly what you implied with your statement that I quoted. Typical of the type I was referring to in the paragraph you ignored.
I also see that you conveniently ignored the observations made in this post. ^^^
You put this in a much better way than others have in this thread and in the case of competition, you need top of the line to compete. I don't disagree, but who's to say what is the best to compete with or that one will better compete with what people perceive to be the best?
Glad to hear that! I'll be on the lookout for it in the mail.
