It’s the frontier sheriff.
Probably. Both are spaghetti guns. Pietta doesn’t have the safety junk.
I have a Pietta 1851 cap and ball gun, bout 20 years old, its well made
And now I have a Uberti shortstroke CMS 3 1/2 '' directly from Uberti, Might have to try a Cimarron SA next
I have to resist! I have to resist!!
My ubertis only had the cylinder pin as the safety, hammer still had firing pin on it , same as pietta I bought it had a 2 position pin also , not needed and soon it was removed , the newer ubertis cattleman2 has a transfer bar system . I like them without any added on safety ideas .
Are the Pietta's as nice, fit / finish/ quality as the Uberti's ?

Mine was nicely fit and other then brass backstop at a glance they look as good to me , I have some pietta 1860 revolvers that I have had for quite awhile and I like them.
I just bought a Uberti Cattleman about a week ago.
It has a transfer bar inside of the hammer and a firing pin on the hammer.
The firing pin is not long enough to touch the primer unless the trigger is pulled, quite a novel idea.
Retains the original look but with the added safety of a transfer bar.
They still tell you to load only five though.
Pair of Cimarron 1851 Open Top cartridge conversions.
(I put the snakes on before Cimarron offered them)
