Good or bad trade!
Yesterday I traded a friend a 4 year old pietta 1858 Rem. 44, for a blue 1978 ruger single six with only the 22mag cylinder, 5 1/2 in barrel, adjustable sights, In overall good shape. I paid $219.99 + shipping for the pietta in 2009What do you all think?

The single six shoots great. Lock up is good on all six chambers. Blue is about 95% with some holster wear. Has the "ruger lines" on the cylinder, but what old ruger doesn't. Here is a pic.

Good trade. But you knew that, you're just looking to brag about your new gun without looking boastful

I'd say you did very well! You can always catch those `58's on sale at Cabela's and the newer Pietta's are better anyway.

Yeah Buzzcook, your right, but sometimes you do things, and you say," did I do a good thing, or did I get stuck" I'm happy with my trade and my friend is also, so all worked out well.
