Chiappa gives good vaue at the price point. Kind of like Lee Reloading tools. My personal experience is limited to their Sharps replicas. The barrels on mine shoot very well but I have had to replace small parts and springs on occasion. They do not stand up as well as a Pedersoli for instance. But as to accuracy mine shoot just as well as the more expensive cousins .
I have a "Spencer" from Armi Sport. Fit and finish is excellent. Haven't shot it enough to have stuff falling off......yet. So far, really like the gun.
Have a Pedersoli "Sharps". Have had it for years. Shoots well, have had no problems with it at all.
A gun in hand is worth two cops on the phone.

What calibre Spencer ? My son recently got one in 45 colt (woulda rathered a 44/40 but not available here at the time) still getting a load figured out but cool factor is out the roof and it does look well made .
Mine is a 56-50 center fire. Use it for Cowboy action. Not a gun to be shooting for fast stage times, but it is a hoot to shoot and the style points are there. I'm not a real speed demon any way, so I TRY to at least look cool.
