Picked up my first SAA
« on: January 22, 2021, 11:08:52 PM »
Got this today.It’s a Pietta imported by EMF.  Saw it in the used section and couldn’t pass it up. Normally I shoot cap and ball revolvers but I guess it’s time for me embrace modern technology

Looks great! Just drop some black powder into those 45 shells and it'll be close to the same experience.

That's purdy Russell13!

That'll burn black powder nicely!

Me too, although I have loaded some smokeless in a few cartridges. I much prefer the boom over the sharper report of smokeless. Nice looking SAA!
