Some German off brand could be a pile of junk. There have been a few.
And a Smith M19 can be a single action. It an SAA clone? Anyway, the thing is just $275 for a reason.

Surely you don't think he doesn't know about...Does the German off-brand name rhyme with Luger?
Uh oh.

I'm mostly joking.... but there's a small part of me that says "Maybe. Just maybe..."

This thread reminds me of the old "TMI ! TMI !" protest (Too Much Information.) Only this is TLI.
I've heard some good things about a particular brand of German made Colt clone, but the name escapes me as well. Country of origin means little, though. Most of us know that German guns don't fit (categorically) in to the "it's made in Germany, therefore it must good" formula (like German beer and cars more or less do) but there may be some gun owners who don't know this. These folks might think most brands are Walther quality. Many of us, however, are old enough to remember the many thousands of RG revolvers that came into US from Germany decades ago. Maybe the worst revolver I ever owned.

I wondered that, but, with my admittedly limited expertise, thought that you might be referring to some unicorn that I had never heard of.
Thanks, back to the OP...

The Italians Pietta and Uberti have been building very high quality and accurate clones of Colt Single Action Revolvers for several decades. They are popular in Cowboy Action Shooting Matches. CAS is a speed shooting event and the guns are ran hard. They hold well for CAS, spare parts are available and the action can be tuned up to be very slick.
I can't recall ever seeing a German Single Action Revolver used in a Cowboy Action Shooting match.
As for price you may be able to pick up a used Pietta or Uberti for about the same amount of money. In fact I brought a used Pietta Single Action that looks unfired for about $250.00.
