I have a pair of 1873 clones, but they're not Italian, they're German. I hope that you guys won’t run me out of town for posting about my non Italian clones. Mine are a pair of EAA Bounty Hunters with 7 1/2" barrels and in .45 L.C. Physical problems keep me from competing, but I do get out to shoot once in a while, and I just love my Bounty Hunters. Oh, and if you do decide to run me out of town, give me a short head start so that I can get out front and make people think that it's a parade.
