As I was nosing around the gun department I happened to see that they had a display of percussion revolvers out on an end cap where everyone could fondle them.
One of those was the Pietta 1858 5 1/2" 44 that they are presently selling for $199.
Cabela's: Pietta Model 1858 New Army .44 Caliber Revolver
I was impressed with the fit and finish. I cocked the hammer back and lowered it a few times. It was very smooth and the hammer draw wasn't that heavy at all.
I'm tempted to get one or two of them since I am a 5 1/2" ROA short of having a pair.
Someone know off the top of their head... do those use .451 round ball?
