Pietta SAA?

[pilot_dc]

Anybody own one of these?

They're listed on Marstar pretty cheap and I was thinking of picking one up.

Shot one in 45Colt and liked it but didn't shoot enough to get used to it. So I was wondering what kind of accuracy to expect. I shoot at 20 meters, will it group within about 5-6 inches off a bench at that range? (just for a reference, I don't actually shoot handguns from a bench... )

Thanks All

I bought a Pietta, as well as a Barretta Stampede SAA clone. I'm a new handgunner and by kneeling and using a knee as a rest I was able to shoot groups of 4 1/4" with the Stampede and 4 3/4" with the Pietta. Both are 4 3/4 " barrels and both groups where shot at 20 paces, kneeling, using 250 Gr. Blackhills ammo that is $30.00 a box.

I found the loading gate either lined up better on the Barretta Stampede, than the Peitta, or the gate is slightly larger. I find both are very fun to shoot.

I've had a Pietta SAA for about 3 weeks now and have about 250 rounds through it. I'm impressed with the gun overall, it has a very nice action and shoots well. I havn't tried grouping from a rest , but shooting offhand I find it shoots a bit to the left consistently. Using factory spec loads at about 850 fps it kicks pretty good, but with reduced charge it is quite pleasant to handle. It's a lot of fun to shoot .
