I Need son info of durability and Quality of the Pietta made assembled in USA Heritage Rough Rider big bore 357 Magnum Revolvers.
Here quoted my comunication with Pietta Italy:
First part is Piettas answer and below my info request to them.
<<Sir
the main difference between Heritage Rough Rider and all our Single Action is just one: we do not assemble the Rough Rider but the materials are the same for all the guns.
You can shoot .357Mg or 38Sp without problem

Dear Pietta,
I just bought an Heritage Rough Rider 357 Magnum blued 5.5" Revolver (single Action). Heritage said the gun is made in Italy but assembled in the USA by Heritage. My question is now if it is the same Revolver as the 1873 Pietta Single Action Army Revolver or if there an Quality difference? On the Internet the Heritage 357 mag has mixed Reviews but the Cabelas model made by Pietta has very good Reviews. Is the Cabelas 1873 made by Pietta and the gun imported by Heritage the same gun? I plan to shoot 357 mag loads from the gun and do not know the material Quality of the gun. As well how does the Heritage gun described above compare to the Ruger Vaquero single Action 357 mag gun in Terms of Quality? Which kind of steel is used on the gun above? As Heritage told me it is not rated for +P ammo neigther 357 mag nor 38 Special. I believe in the good craftmnship of Italian manufacture but if you can Elaborate above questions and specially referr to Quality.>>
Has anybody experience with the Heritage (Pietta) Rough Rider 357 Magnum Revolvers? Quality, accuracy, durability, material strength, etc. And your opinion is much appreciated.
