Hi to all, and, please, excuse me for my poor english.

I'm a new SCORRS member from Italy.
Thanks to Papa Bear.

I usually shot a Pietta 1858 C&B Remington, and i think that's the best of all my guns!

Good shootin'!!!

Glad to see you with us, pard. The Kid is right about this place and your pistols. I hear Piettas are top notch these days. I also prefer the '58 Remmies as my main match pistols. You have any photos of yours?

Mark The Hotspur · March 09, 2007, 02:06:37 PM

Thanks, Pards!

I don't have photos of my Pietta, but it's time to make them!

I like that gun, the beautifil design, the grips, and especially the great accuracy and the soft trigger.
And, naturally, the high quality at a really low price.

But Italian prices are highest than American!

Maybe they have to ship them over here and then ship them back?

ROTFL!

It's quite possible!!!
The problem, for we Italians, are taxes... and mind!
Mind of our outlaws/governments, who fears armed citizens

Welcome Mark The Hotspur,

I see that there are a lot of new shootin pards in Italy these days.
That is great to see. A couple of years ago when I was working in
Italy I could not find any CAS shooters, there were none in my area
near Pisa, at least none that I knew of.

Good shootin,
Preach N. Mann

Shootin a Uberti Colt, Uberti 1858 Remmy, a Stefano Fausti SXS and an American Marlin

Howdy Pard,
Glad to meet new pards from all over the world. I also shoot two NMA made by Pietta. I love them. I am have been shooting them for over a year now and have a R&D conversion cylinder on order. I have been shooin cap and ball pistols since 1976. I started out with 1851 Navies and then some Dragoons ( 3rd model ). I like the way the Colts feel in my hand, but l love that way the 1858 NMA shoot.....
