Yes, the Pietta Frankenguns. I think that the people who buy those don't particularly know and/or care about authenticity, and at least Pietta DOES make the correct versions of those guns as well.

Mike, I agree about the short stroke guns. Wish SASS had never allowed them in the first place. I know the users of them love them, but in the beginning CAS was supposed to NOT be a race-gun sport. Too late! I'm not sure which coil springs you are talking about, I do like coils for the hand springs. Totally hidden, very reliable. And regarding the .44 Colt/Special Henry, those can be fairly easily had by simply buying a 44-40 and having the chamber sleeved.

Hand spring, coil with plunger. I like the guns as built.😊 if I wanted a race gun I would shoot the Glocks and 1911.
I been shooting these replicas since 1977 with both black and tne other stuff had origanals as well.
The new string of guns just dont do anything for me. The Steel Henry I got this year is well dont get me started. Rubber end to the brass follower if you dont know how to load the gun properly dont buy one.

While I agree that the CAS market is shrinking, and that they'll never produce the old model Russian (even tho' we've been asking for it since the Schofield first came out), I can't see the problem with offering the 1875 in a blue finish with lanyard ring. Heck they already offer the 1890 that way, just use the same frame for the 1875 and you'd save money from making the same frame two different ways. Now if they could also offer an aftermarket replacement hammer for the 1875/90 without the safety on it (I know, I know...lawyers) we could make them as near perfect as possible.

I have never had one of the safty hammers that worked.

I you want a blued frame 75 order a in white gun and get it blued, you will end up with a better finished product I am guessing.

Don't forget the loading gate remains color case hardened.

Already have an 1890 44 WCF with a blued frame and cased loading gate. Just picked up a barrel for it to make it a 7 1/2" and a steel triggerguard, already have an extra under barrel web for a '75. Once I get it done it'll look like an 1875 should look.
