Hey man, I remember you and I talked a little about these revolvers a while back. Glad to see you are still interested. I love the 1860 Armys because of their sleek, graceful design. Smooth curves and action that rivals a fine woman...well, maybe I'm stretching it a bit there, but...the point is, they're a pleasure to hold and shoot.

What I've found out is that Cabela's revolvers are made by Pietta, and, that Pietta's quality has improved to the point that, for the money difference between Pietta and Uberti, Pietta may be the best deal.

As for the $200, I'd say you 'll be hard pressed to find a new unfired 1860 Army from Pietta for that money elsewhere. Not that you can't, but I think you'll spend some time to find one better priced. As a matter of fact, I'm clicking over to Cabela's website and take a look myself!

Good luck and hope decide to pursue some c&b pistol fun!
