I just received my Pietta 1858 Army.I'm really impressed.The last cap & ball
revolver I bought was a Colt Army in the late 1970's.
It was made in Italy also,but by who I have not a clue.The main spring broke
& I can't seem to find another,so I will most likely make one.
But there is no comparing the quality of the two guns.I have read alot of
late on the Pietta gun reviews.Most reviews were in fact very good & a few
not.
But they have come a long way in quality from the past as many things have.
CNC machining is in part some of it as is CMM QC work.
The fit & finish is very good for a low cost gun.What really got me as to how
accurate these guns are.
I still must fine tune it, but off hand at 20 yd's I'm hitting 6 out of 6 on a milk
jug.Thats not bad pulling the thing out of the box & shooting it.This thing
is a :Fire: to shoot!
