Pietta Brotherhood of the Traveling 1858

[hrt4me]

Have any of you heard of this Pietta promotion, its Brotherhood of the Traveling 1858? Apparently Pietta is selecting folks to whom to send a nicely engraved NMA '1858' revolver for a month (to photograph, shoot, etc.) and then pass on...

The Pietta NMA 1858 comes in a large wooden box with a journal. In the journal, the people from Pietta wrote a few opening pages explaining the project and how the journal could be used. While you have the revolver, they ask you to photograph it, share it with people you know, shoot it, and just enjoy it for a month. Then it makes its way on to the next person...

Haven’t heard of it. But I constantly get emails telling me I’ve won DeWalt tools, $100 gift cards etc. All they need is my credit card information or some other personal information. I think the store is either in Russia or next to the Nigerian princes palace.

 

[Phil Coffins]

Haven’t heard of it but when you get it pass it on to me.

Can't imagine it going to Joe Six Pack.

The people getting it will be vetted so the gun isn't abused to the point of becoming dangerous/inoperable to the next person in line.

Hickcock45 is probably on the list.

I’m a veteran. And I haven’t busted anything lately.

Just received a replacement cylinder from EMF/Pietta which required special attention from EMF to the factory in Italy. Absolutely the best customer service experience I've ever had. Emails and personal phone calls to make certain the part would fit the revolver produced for only 2 years. Even the CEO (Ms. Sims) helped me solve the problem personally.

Short story - I bought a percussion version of the 1873 Colt Peacemaker on an internet auction which had a cartridge cylinder installed. The revolver is designed to make it impossible to convert it to fire fixed cartridges. Thus, although the cartridge cylinder fit and functioned perfectly, the gun could not be fired. EMF gunsmith (Mr. Hanson) took time to call me, verify serial #, parts, etc. and included my cylinder in their next shipment from Pietta in Italy. Part arrived, fit perfectly. EMF's nice folks. Interesting history and some cool guns.

Glad to hear that and good to know.

I just saw this on the internet and found out one of my friends will be receiving it in august. He will be the first one in TN. to get it. He will post videos of shooting it and we will compare it to the colt army. I am really looking forward to this.

 

[CaptainVane]

And most will shoot, box it up and send to next guy uncleaned and all fouled.
People in general are pigs, let the next guy clean, not my problem attitude.
I’ll bet in a year that pistol will be all pitted and trashed.

It's moving, it just had a holster made for it by J D Wheeler. and it looks great!
