Piettas from Shot Show

[RRio]

Photos from 2024 Shot Show. If these examples are what we can expect from Pietta in the future, they are gonna be selling a lot of them, just because of the color case hardening.

I think you are spot on... very nice. The new Pietta's just might float my boat 

I have just two SAA anymore, the 2014 SS Bob James Uberti in 45colt.
and a 2012 Colt in 32/20 the last year COLT offered that caliber.

I had resigned myself to pass on new Model P's, not wishing to deal with the retractable FP of the new Uberti's.
I probably won't go the exurbanite cost of USFA's nice as they are....
 
Standard's offering has QC issues and also costly, so they aren't even on my radar.

The color case hardening looks amazing. I don't like the horse & rider very much but it wouldn't prevent me from buying. I just don't see a need for a pony on an old model black powder frame since the original Colt did not have that, except for a short time in the 1890's.

Agree they are a step up, and the CCH is great, but has anyone seen a price?  I haven't seen anything on them other than cursory mentions in Shot Show reviews....

Well, if they are like a lot of Shot Show roll-outs, we might be lucky to see them available this year.  Whatever the case, might be worth the wait and price.

Hopefully something other than 45Colt and 357Mag, like 38-40?

I think 44-40 is the only wcf caliber Pietta makes, so that would be unlikely.  But maybe they will see the light?

These guns were posted about on the Colt Forum. I believe that is where I heard they will only be available in .45 Colt and .357 Magnum and the msrp will be around $1000. There are some videos on Facebook too.

Since it was historically the second most popular/produced chambering I would think a 44 WCF (marked Frontier Six-Shooter) would be a good third choice in caliber.

  Well . . . .

The problem is market share.  Unfortunately, the Market for CAS guns is shrinking.  Without a ready market for a profitable number of guns, many calibers will not be offered as the manufacturers cannot amortize the machine cost/time.  Unless of course you don't mind $2500 a copy??

True, but they should realize those of us who put our collections together 20 or 30 years ago cant justify another 45colt but have money to spend. I currently have 5 bp frame 4 click ubertis in 45 but would jump all over a pietta in any wcf caliber.
