Hey Articap,
Did you go to the Cabellas in East Hartford?
I live in Vermont, but called them yesterday to see what they had in stock, and was told "five in stock".

I ended up not going, but instead made a trip to my local gun shop, where I spotted an 1858 Pietta with 5.5" barrel. This one had checkered grips, a case-hardened frame (or chemical treatment...?) and a fluted cylinder!
They want $360. for it...which seems high, but it is a hard to find model.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your experiences with the Cabellas return policy and the trigger feel on those that you checked out.
