1886 PUMA m-86

JUST WONDERING IF ANY HERE HAS SEEN THE NEW M-86 OR HAS TRIED ONE
READ IN THE GUNS OF THE WEST MAGAZINE ABOUT THEM AND THE RESPONCE WAS GOOD.
IT'S MADE BY ARMI CHIAPPA.

Haven't fired one, but I've handled them at Taylor and Company's store, and they seem like very nice rifles.  Fit and finish is outstanding, and the action feels great.

Howdy, HC.

I have been able to handle a couple of them.  Both seemed like top notch copies of the 1886.  Nice thing about them is no extra safeties and no rebounding hammers.  Pretty much a Uncle Winnie made them.  Not inexpensive...........

Say "hi" to Gabby, Half-a-Hand and Dirty Dan for me.

I've been looking for one to handle, and see how it stacks up, but can't find any locally. Would like to retire my original some day, as its a 3 digit gun. Anyone seen them in Ohio or Eastern Indiana or northern Kentucky?
