Old Dragoon,
Are you SURE the 44 cal repros are all copies of the originals? The Pietta just seems heavier, klunkier, and has a distinct step down to the barrel from the top of the frame. All the originals I have seen have a fairly smooth slope from the top of the frame to the barrel without a drop off as seen in the Piettas (and my Euroarms too) when viewed directly from the side. Did some of the originals weigh 1/4 lb more than others like the Pietta compared to the lighter Euroarms?
