Does anyone have experience with these?

I'm thinking of getting one, and was wondering what people thought of them.

Thanks,

For low cost SAA .22 check these guys out.

Look at Heritage Manufacturing listings
These guns have an alloy frame and other parts so may not take a lot of pounding. Heritage also makes steel frame revolvers for States that don't allow alloy frames,I don't know who imports these models or if they are available in Canada.

I was looking at one of those Heritage SAA revolvers. For the price, they look pretty good. I'm still torn between one of them and a Ruger 22/45.

Sorry though, no experience with the Chiappas.

I bought this Ruger (Old Model 1981) Single Six for $250 in well used condition and had some trouble with lead build-up shooting Blazer ammo,switched to CCI Standard Velocity Target ammo and problem solved.

A used gun may be an option to consider....I would love to have a SAA in .45 but can't afford one right now and .22 is so cheap to shoot.
