Here are some pictures of the RifleTom new Pietta.

Sweet. I have too many home projects going on right now, but if I stumble across a really nice single action... I just might have to mark that one off the bucket list.

Hope it shoots as good as it looks! Congrats!

Thanks for getting those pics to us, Al. Congrats to Tom. That should be a great shooter.

We picked up a slightly used Cimarron/Pietta Frontier 357 a couple years back. It was a local CAS shooter's backup gun and I doubt he ever used it. Never had a Pietta, so wasn't sure what to expect, but the price was very good, so we took a chance.

Have to say, it's been a great single action, right there with our Uberti SAs. We shoot mostly 38s in it and it has been very accurate, right there with any DA 38 I've ever shot, including some vintage Smiths.

nice Tom .... very nice indeed

Very nice Tom! Thanks for the pics Al.

Very nice looking 45 six shooter Tom! Didn't know they made those with a swap cylinder .45 ACP. Looking forward to a Range Report soon!

Thanks forty. I'm going to work up a couple loads for it hopefully today. Having the .45acp cylinder is a plus, as I have a lot of acp rounds loaded already for my 1911. This is gonna be a another fun gun to shoot! Hopefully they open my outdoor range Monday, as it's been closed due to fires in the area.

As I type I'm loading 45 ACP also. My favorite... Xtreme 230 gr. plated with 6.0 gr. Unique. Very accurate in my HiPoint Carbine and my other pistols.

That's my powder charge forty, only difference is I'm using 230gr LRN from Missouri. Lovely in my Springfield. Wait, did I just type lovely!? Well, it's a good load. I best go have a couple beers!

Good looking pistol.

Good looking pistol Tom.
Hope it's a shooter.

Thanks RR. One of my loads for that revolver will be your 6.6gr(I believe) and 200gr rnfp cast bullets. Opps, Universal powder.
