Yeah, it looks better with that style grip. Was that simple replacement for the existing grip or a different frame?
Simple replacement. Swapped the grips and trigger guard off a Pietta 1851 navy yank snubnose. I prefer the snubnose with the standard grip that came on the pepperbox. I knew I was going to make that swap before I ordered the pepperbox.

If Pietta has almost all of these parts in inventory, why do they not know that there would be a demand for these guns and instead produce Frankenguns with no historical significance
To each his own. I got it as a novelty. Why is it that some people don't understand that other people aren't as interested in historical accuracy, all the time? ... My bet is that Pietta knows there is just as much a niche market in frankenguns as there is in "somewhat" close to historical guns.
