Thoughts on the Pietta Great Western II

[leroy]

Brothers n Sisters...

Alas, another mania has struck me and I'm working mightily to resist it, but the pull is strong.  I'm a fan of Pietta SSA clones.  They are a true second generation Colt copy...

My mania is aimed toward the various 9 mm sheriff offerings; especially the Great Western II series. 

Does anyone here have any experience with em..?  I know there most likely never wuz a 9 mm SAA, but I've got lotsa 9 mm ammo around and these guys would be about as soft shooting as ya could get.

Let me know whatya think.

SA is not my preference, but this looks handsome (Californian trim)

Ed... We've got two of em ( El Malo II ).  They are handsome.  They are better built than the gen 3 Colts ( we have several ).  I've not handled the GW IIs, but I think they will be just like the El Malo.  Slick finish, deep blue, beveled cylinders ( an old time touch ), pretty good chemical case.  The timing and carry up is just right.  I' m a big fan of the Piettas.
