I shot the Pietta for the first time this week. I never shot a black powder gun before. I cannot believe how nice this gun shoots. It is really accurate at 25 yards. I did most shooting at 15 yards. I took 1 shot at a 1' x 1' steel target at a measured 65 yards and hit it on the first shot. I wish I learned about these guns sooner. My nephew shot my .38, .357, 9mm and shotgun but I was very content to shoot my Pietta all day. Now I want a .44 to go with it.
