A Dirty Day is a good day...

I really like my Pietta 1860 by Traditions. It was gifted by a good friend a couple years ago. It was a bit raspy at first but repeated cycling of the action, dismantling, cleaning and then cycling it some more seemed to smooth it out just fine. Very decent trigger and after a bit of use it's a right handy popper. I keep eyeing those 1851's and 1861's, but haven't pulled the trigger on one. Too many other needs right now. Still, I'm fascinated by them and each time I pick one up I'm reminded of what the boys from Missouri could do with them. And as a boy from Missouri, they call to me.
