I really want a replica of the single action army, this revolver is going to be used for blackpowder shooting. so wich is better Uberti or Pietta? Quality, finish and accuracy wise

I actually own a San Marco custom .41 special done up by John Gallagher hisself, but do yourself a BIG favor, save up a couple hundred more bucks, and buy a USFA .45 Rodeo.

In just a few months, mine has already digested around 1000 rounds or various reloads. I have cleaned the insides just a couple times, it has yet to have even a slightest trace of a cylinder ring, it has a perfect action/trigger, and it is AMAZINGLY accurate and point of impact is perfect. All I do is wipe down the outside when I stick it back into my range bag. FOr shooting BP loads, it would be a no-brainer and your grandkids wlll still be shooting the thing 50 years from now.

Lots of beautiful guns here, Hugh. Their 1911 is very nice looking. I like the "Gunslinger" with the aged look, too. I want em all!

Crowley beware.

The only problem is getting this revolver here. I live in Norway, and the selection isn't great, thats why I asked about Pietta or Uberti. But it's good you suggest others, because I have no clue. And of course I would like the best, and I'm in no hurry to get this gun (Winter being allmost upon us, and it's a little cold to be shooting much here in the winter, although I do shoot some).
