Patersons For Sale

[ShotgunDave]

Hi Dave, sorry you missed out. Pietta is pretty good at answering questions on product availability. Suggest you email them and learn if Pietta intends on producing the Paterson again.

Very early in my marriage, my wife told me that timing is everything. 

Regards,
Richard

I think I'll do that Richard.

And your wife is absolutely correct!

[ShotgunDave]

You were right Richard, Pietta is very good at responding to email!

I got a response from them today. Valentina says, they are assembling Patersons now, and they will be available at the end of January! I guess we'll see!!

Hi Dave, thanks for the info. The Paterson's have a more complex lock-work compared to the later Colts. Learning that Pietta will continue to manufacturer the Paterson is good news for Pietta Paterson revolvers.  Maybe I will be able to get my back-ordered Paterson cylinder soon?

Regards,
Richard

Hi Dave, I just heard that my Pietta Paterson extra cylinder has come in. It has been months waiting, but suggests that we will soon see the Pietta Paterson on dealer's shelves. Keep your money dry.

Regards,
Richard

[ShotgunDave]

That's good news Richard!!

Maybe there's hope of me getting a Paterson after all!

Hi Dave, I sent the following email to Pietta:

<<When will you have the Pietta Paterson available for sale in the USA again?>>

Pietta replied:

<<They will be available in few weeks, please contact Taylor's and EMF>>

I emailed Taylor Firearms to confirm if this is true and what will be the price for the Pietta Paterson.

Regards,
Richard

Holy moly! That's good news if it comes to fruition. I may still get a Paterson yet!

Hi Dave, I got the following email reply from Taylor Firearms:

<<We do not sell the Patterson model any longer as we cannot warranty them. Thank you.>>

Maybe EMF will be the only USA distributor for the Pietta Paterson, if even that?

Regards,
Richard

[ShotgunDave]

Well that's disheartening Richard. Why would Pietta even bother to manufacture them, if they had no way to distribute them? Bummer.

Does that mean Taylor’s can’t return defective Patterson's to Pietta for exchange or reimbursement? 

Does that indicate that mechanically speaking Patterson’s are a plural POS?

Disclaimer:  I have zero experience with a Patterson.  Word on the street is that they are hella damn problem prone.  I don’t mind having to do a little smooth-up on a new purchase but when I buy a new C&B I need a shooter - not a wall hanger or a big fat shop project.  Anyway, Pattersons don’t move me much. 

I’m Army/Navy, all the way.   … Oh, and Im’a Rem-fag, too.

I want one purely for it's historical-ness. Much the same reason I'd like to have a Walker. Just for it's point in history.

A very wise man on here told me once, that these guns have to be taken in their historical context. They can not be expected to perform as a modern gun. Once you drop that expectation and just enjoy the gun and all it's idiosyncrasies, the guns realize their full potential.

[ShotgunDave]

Amen Brother Scooby, Amen.

Once you drop that expectation and just enjoy the gun and all it's idiosyncrasies, the guns realize their full potential.

That's a true statement.  I agree.

Also, all the negative things I've heard about Patterson performance happened to involve Piettas.

I've heard that too G Dog. But I have zero experience with either brand. I'd just like to have one or the other, just to have a Paterson and connect with history once in a while. Kinda like my Paper Cutter Sharps.

Hi, agreed that Pietta Patersons come out of the box requiring attention to have them function correctly. Once the idiosyncrasies are worked out they function very reliably. Keeping a revolver functioning requires the availability of repair parts. Most Pietta Paterson parts are still available. Uberti Paterson parts are more difficult to find.
