Forever if you don't drop it. No guns hold up well if they're dropped a lot. My pietta pepperbox can shoot a 1 inch group in a pie plate at 12 inches.I'm wondering how long it will hold up with an unsupported arbor.
They look better with the thunderer grip that comes with the pietta snubbies.Hi guys
Thinking of adding this oddball to my collection. Has anyone here bought or fired one?
Ridiculous guns are one of my interests, and it's awesome to have so much expendable $$... [emoji857]I think it's ridiculous. I would call it stupid except for the fact that stupid often sells well. So maybe it's actually a smart bet on the part of the maker since there's no shortage of, umm, err..., fellows, that might buy it because they have more money than they need for other more practical things. It invites ridicule, as it should. "If we make it, they will buy it." There are at least several other firearms and related items that are equally worthy of derision; so, yeah, go for it.
Cabela's has it brand new for $229I normally like the things Pietta makes... but not these. OP, if you must buy one to try one, get it used.
Not really. Tooling for the cylinder wouldn't be a spare parts sort of thing. But it is a revolver that is a breeze to tune, with no barrel to cylinder gap, arbor depth issues, or need for a wedge. I originally got mine on a Cabela's sale with the intention of fitting a 36 cal cylinder and sheriff barrel to it as well, but the wedge started messing with the screw threads in the arbor's wedge slot so I gave up on that idea. I had an 1851 snub with the thunderer grip, and swapped grips with the pepperbox. The .36 cylinder and sheriff barrel work great on the snub's frame as well so it wasn't a total failure. The pepperbox looks awesome cool with the thunderer grip though. [emoji846]Do you get the feeling Pietta had a party one night and after a few one of the designers said "Hey I have an idea what to do with some of the extra parts"

Yeah, it reminds me of the self-defense pistols my sister and brother-in-law carry. She carries a .22 caliber revolver, and he has a Derringer cambered in 4-10.I think it's ridiculous.
