Pietta 1860 Army

[torpedo]

Walked into cabelas a couple weeks ago and they had one bp pistol. The price was right and I needed a belt pistol as my Walker amd Dragoon are a bit too heavy for carrying around camp. Finally got out to shoot it. This is the first 6 balls at 20 yards, I am very pleased with the accuracy. Probably would have been better if I were better.

That’s great shooting at 20 yards! I also have a brand new in box Cabelas Pietta 1860 that’s likely getting traded for an 1851 Navy London but glad to see they are shooters.

Nice 20yd group!

 

[cynthialee]

can't argue with that!

Nice shooting. Nothing wrong with the way cap and ball revolvers can shoot, they sure opened up my eyes after years of dismissing them as inaccurate relics of the past.

I was impressed the fit and finish was beautiful, as I have read on this forum that some folks feel the Pietta was not as well finished as the Uberti. I have to say this one is every bit as finished as my Uberti.

I’m amazed that an 1860 Army would shoot to point of aim at 20 yards. I’ve both Uberti and Piettas and they shoot high.

A good gun, a sharp eye and a steady hand at work right there. Nice shooting!

That is great shooting! I think you will find it is pretty good at 100 yards, too!

Nice group, does it shoot POA-POI? I have a Colt that shoots six feet and six feet left or darn close to it! One of my most frustrating pistols ever! New with the box and papers, is a siganature series, I thought about selling it but that would mean screwing a fella shooter over!

 

[ZUG]

Now your just bragging !!!

That is ecactly what I expected. So I was very surprised it shoot dead on point of aim.
