Yes it is. I really like it, as do my recoil sensitive family members; with the .38. Speedloaders make it that more interesting.
It is an intimidating piece, isn't it
Show us your Revolvers!

Looks like this.....
Nice. With the exception of the grips, it looks like my earlier model 4" GP 100.
And when the opportunity presented itself, I picked up it's younger brother, a 4" SP 101, in .22LR just to keep it company.
,This would be a fun "revolver" to play with..
Makes the 500 magnum look like a bb gun

Nice; fun guns. You sure it's a 5,5"? Looks like the shorter barrel to me.
Is that the new style Pietta is making now with a transfer bar (ugh) instead of a pointy hammer? Why would they do that?
A full spring replacement kit for Colt replicas from Wolff [gunsprings dotcom] for about $25 makes it sing.
That is a 5.5", and the transfer bar is because of lawyers. - dan

Thing is, until this year Pietta made traditional copies. People buy these *because* they are clones. They use them for role-playing in Cowboy Action games, not for carry or home defence. Even in those cases, hammer down on an empty chamber (the way it's always been done).
We've already got Ruger's offerings, for those who don't have the true Cowboy spirit.
I know the barrel is poking past the ejector shroud, but the angle just makes it look fore-shortened. The length of the barrel on the pictures is only enough to reach from the front of the frame to the front corner of the stock, and that ain't usually long enough for a 5,5".

Yup, it is the 5-1/2" barrel. The angle of my pics makes it look shorter. This is the old style with no transfer bar. I'm pretty happy with Pietta's fit and finish. The pics don't do it justice. May look into the spring kit one day, but for now it's going to get shot just the way it is.
