Question about Traditions Revolvers
«

Hello. I have been contemplating and planning on purchasing a Remmie NA and Colt 60 and 61 to go with my Pietta '51. I have studied about the issues with both Pietta and Uberti. What about Traditions' Revolvers? I have been shooting front-stuffers for maybe 9-years, have done the Mtn. Man thing as well as French and Indian War era. Those fellas with Traditions long guns mostly like 'em but they nearly all needed tweaked to fire right....i.e. frizzen on stock Traditions almost always needed refaced after just a few shots, trigger groups needed work, sights needed replaced, poor fit and fitting on more than a few items...but after the tweaking they seemed to be suitable firing pieces...not quite period correct (that's ok by me, just a comment) but were ok shooters. If any of you are shooting or have some knowledge regarding Traditions BP revolvers please sing out. Think I am gonna go with Pietta for the Remmies and either Pietta or Uberti for the Colts but was wondering about the Traditions offerings...then Armi San Marco enters the equation...how are they?
Thanks.

Armi San Marcos is out of business, so parts are not available. Stick to Pietta or Uberti. I prefer Uberti hands down for Colt types, the Remingtons, if they are very recently made are pretty equivalent. If it's a used older one, get an Uberti.
