I was thinking of buying a Pietta SAA .45 Colt 1873 clone. Does someone know the cylinder lenght of these guns? I'm looking for the max possible cartridge OAL, or rather the max nose lenght to crimp groove.

162152 Assuming all Pietta frames and cylinders are the same dimension albeit in different calibers, these .44-40 cylinders are 1.600" in O/A length.

FWIW, the twists in those above appear to be 1" in 20".
