    Uberti vs. Pietta?

    My Pietta's looked pretty good. I have 5 so far. Fit, finish and shootability are first rate.

    Sometimes Smaller Really is Better !

    Using a steel frame and bumping up the powder charge may be an interesting idea. How would one even make birds head grips for this?

    CVA Sharpshooter

    Well, I brought it home to check it out. Everything is in excellent shape, except for the barrel. Breech area of the barrel is toast as far as I can tell. Squirted some penetrating oil down the barrel, let it sit for a while, removed the clean out screw and poured it out. The rust flowed. Any...

    Anyone out there provide me with some feedback on this rifle. I can pick it up for $50, and it looks practically new. Thanks.

    If you could own only one

    I do appreciate everyone's input, including those models that were not on my list. Many different qualifications influenced the three that I listed. These will be used for plinking and self defense. I did have a chance to examine an 1860 and found changing the cylinder to be not complicated at...

    If you could own only one

    True, although if I am in the field for a week or two, I want not to worry if I lose my implement for changing cylinders. I'm sure I could improvise, but simplicity is best. Looks like I'm going to go with the Remington. Thanks for the great input everyone.

    If you could own only one

    Period correctness is not a factor. I am leaning though towards the Remington due to the ease of changing cylinders. Even though the Ruger and R&S do have high marks, needing a screwdriver to change cylinders is a mark against them.

    If you could own only one

    Interesting and varied replies so far-keep them coming. Thanks.

    If you could own only one

    Even though both the Ruger and Rogers & Spencer require a screwdriver to remove the cylinder?

    "Femme Fatale" Ring Gun

    That is the coolest thing I have seen in a while. What kind of price tag?

    If you could own only one

    (like that would happen :wink: )which would it be. I've been doing a little research as far as pros and cons of different designs. Factors include: number of shots before cleaning, prone to cap debris jamming, ease of cylinder changes, etc.. I've narrowed my choices down to: 1. Colt 1860 .44 2...
