So, I received my Pietta 1873 SAA .44 C&B from Dixie. Feels good in the hand, although the action did need a little work (Deburring and polishing) and I did install a spring kit, but timing seems to be pretty good. Very nice over all. I decided to fit a set of white pearl grips to it, so I cut them down, sanded, formed and polished them back out. Being as the original was a one piece grip, it does not have an indexing pin in the frame to align the two piece. Therefore, I had to make spacers and epoxy them in place. Then I started thinking that the white pearl was a little too plain, so I changed the color. I will see how she performs in a few days or so.
