A few Pietta models are on sale at Cabelas though. Don't know much about that brand but they seem popular.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

That's a pricey one. Mine was under $200.

Re: Black Powder Pistol
I've owned many Pietta guns and they all shoot good but show early wear . [ in pic below ] If you do a lot of shooting get the Uberti the fit and finish is must better and the parts are heat treated perfect and don't wear out . I don't know if Pietta has improved in the last 10 yrs .

Re: Black Powder Pistol
Hey TGR thanks for dropping by the thread! Appreciate the post about Pietta vs Uberti. There is a significant price difference but it seems the Uberti may be worth it.
