Pietta Colt 1860 .44: So, How Bad Are They?
Hi all.I know, i shouldn't. i really should stick to The Original Plan and get myself a Remington 1858.But as i watch the Colt 1860, the more it looks sexy to me.So, after all the reading from you guys about mild steels, stuck wedges, broken springs, i ask you all:Are Pietta's 1860 Army that bad? should i better choose an Uberti?I don't want a wall hanger.. i'd love something to actually shoot. whitout cussing, possibly.Is there any happy Pietta 1860 Army owner around? Come on, come out!thanks for any info!

If you get a Colt w/steel frame, it will last and shoot ok. Avoid the brass frames like the plague. The Rem is a much stronger gun though.
