Hey all,
A few of my coworkers and I have regular debates regarding firearms. My captain, for example, is a die hard Glock lover. It's all he owns, and all he claims he'll ever own.
I, on the other hand, prefer the "old school" firearms, though I do of course own a few semiauto's, my personal favorite being my Sig p228r.
We also like talking about scenarios, from realistic economic collapse/chaos to the pretty unlikely zombie apocalypse.
During one of these discussions, we were talking about firearms being confiscated by the gov't, for whatever reason. Then say there's some sort of disaster, and it's an TEOTWAWKI scenario.
My black-powder revolver, for example, not having to have been registered, would likely still be in my possession. Not only that, but it'd be the only firearm I'd be likely to own.
So, this is sort of a fun hypothetical thing. How durable, in all of your experiences, are the Pietta's? I'm looking to get the .44 1851 Navy Civilian from Cabela's.
Naturally I'd try to have spare parts for it... but is there anything else those of you who have owned these revolvers for years have experienced?
