Who Has the Best Repro BP Revolvers?

[GENTLEMAN OF THE CHARCOAL]

Like I said, I'vd had extremely good fortune with my Pietta Remington 1858 New Model Army .44's. No complaints at all....

He who has one has the best one... (or more :O)

I used to give Pietta 36 cal 1851 Navy revolvers to 18 yr old boys who were showing promise of being men. They were $99 each then. Every one was a good deal and given to the right boy at the right time.
Last week end I went hunting BP Whitetail, Eastern Washington. The (now son in law) hunting partner brought it along for his side arm. He's now had this pistol for 13 years (since I gave it to him). Hit the six inch bull about 30% of the shots at 35 yards.
He has used it to convert gun haters and skeerdycats to shooters with this gun. It's just too much fun, and the whole loading and shooting process takes the fear factor out of guns for many people.
I took my Pietta 1851 Sheriff stainless 44. Peter was impressed. It's my favorite. Not as powerful as my 2nd dragoon, or as sturdy as my remington, but it's handy, and suprisingly powerful and accurate. It easily outranges a 45 ACP. Shooting it a dusk (after legal hunting) is a blast- what a fireball!!

Been 20 yrs since I shot this gun . Shot these 2 targets friday . A pic is worth a 1000 words



This is the other I shot . Both at 25 yds .

Long term storage didn't seem to hurt either one of them. Good shooting.

Looks like you've got that one dialed in just fine. Nice.

Well;
I have an 1858 Pietta Remmy, target model that I've never fired. I just pulled it out of the safe and checked it out.
It's really not as clunky compared to an 1851 Navy as I had thought.
Hmmm.
