Greg, I was thinking about getting a black powder pistol, probably an 1851 Navy. I asked Izzo about them and whether or not the Pietta vs Uberti was a Ford vs Chevy thing. He said they are both good quality just don't forget to cover the cylinders in grease to avoid firing all of them at once. I saw some on sale a Cabelas for less than 200 bucks.
I agree with the quality of the two. However, I suggest an 1860 Army in 44.
Back from furniture shopping and more setting up in the basement. $1400 for a sectional sofa that has a chaise and reclining seats. The backs easily disconnect from the base so these should fit down the stairs. We are having them delivered Thursday. I have the TV, Wii, Roku and Comcast set up in the basement. I played Star Wars Episode III "Revenge of the Sith" on the new TV with the sound bar and boy did I hit a home run on that setup! Looks and sounds great.
