The LGS has a Pietta G&G .44 there. I don't need another brasser, and especially not in .44 cal. I hope somebody buys it before I cave.

Hi Captain, everyone needs a Griswold but don’t  be distracted by bright-shiny objects.  If it were dirt cheep and in great condition (thinking resale, here) I’d get it.  Otherwise, waiting for a Griswold in .36 would be the better course. 

Disclaimer:  I'm hella down on counter-historic .44 brass sh stuff.

Cap, somehow "G&G" and ".44" don't go together.

EMF has the Pietta G&G .36 in stock at this time for a "paltry" $275.

I'm gonna follow the crowd on this one. If'n it were a .36 I'd say go for it.

Since I've decided not to part with my L&R, I need a G&G to pair up with it. But I only want a .36

I'm trying hard not to buy it. I'm not a huge fan of brass .44 guns, but I guess my immune system must be weak from the Winchester and Santa Barbara purchases. My best bet is just to stay away from the LGS for a bit and let some other fool buy it.
