Im looking at a SAA, besides Ruger and Colt the only choices seem to be Pietta and Uberti. I own a few Uberti guns but never had a Pietta. They all "look" pretty much the same in pictures. Occasionally I see the Piettas a few dollars cheaper but usually nothing significant.

Im currently looking at one of the cheaper Piettas as a range toy. I dont expect anything beyond "MOM" (minute of a man at 50 yards; but heck I probably wont ever shoot it past 25 yards.

Any thoughts on Pietta. Ideally Id opt for a Ruger Varquero or Blackhawk but the price difference is pretty significant over the the Ubertis and Piettas. Ill likely only be shooting "Cowboy loads" and never any "magnum" loads. My choice for the Ruger is the transfer bar safety which allows loading 6 cartridges instead of five.
