Video - Shooting Pietta's 1860 Army Revolver

[Bottom Dealin Mike]

The quality of Pietta's cap and ball revolvers have really improved from the 1860s I bought back in the early 1990s

Thanks Mike.  I have a pair of these.  I have big hands and these fit my them nicely.  Love your videos.

I am on the other end of the spectrum and much prefer the Navy grip frames.  For this reason I prefer my bastardised pair of Pietta 1851 Navy 44s above all other cap and balls.  I am in hopes that the opportunity to get their backstraps reshaped, as Mike done in an earlier video, will happen.  Still thinking about a basic pair of Pietta 1860s, as in video, with a grip change out to mimmick Colts first release of this model.  That gun had the brass Navy grips that I would prefer.
