Cabela's states that one can no longer order the Pietta G&G .36 from their online store. Maybe give them a jingle at the 800 number.

This next one, if still for sale, is a Pietta G&G .36 (2014 [CM] or earlier with the "tail grip, and I have no problem insofar as the "tail": it is a collector item from now on, since it is no longer being produced). For $185 + $15 shipping it looks like a deal to me if in like-new condition (nothing wrong with brass patina):

Hawg is correct: his Pietta G&G .36 is a 2015 [CN] with the newer, more "conventional" grip style. Pietta no longer produces the "tail" profile. To my knowledge, Pietta never produced a G&G in .44.
My Pietta G&G .36 (2015 [CN]), just to state that at least two forum members have the same thing, and that it is not an anomaly. I paid $220 for it over a year ago from Cabela's:
Don't give up trying to acquire a Pietta G&G .36. If you have other Pietta 1851 Navy type pistols made after ~2000 (CNC machining), the G&G part round/part octagon barrel and the plain cylinder will allow you to create a Leech and Rigdon:
and other "fantasy" pistols, like my favorite 1851 Navy .36 Dragoon:
I would like to weigh in insofar as Pietta 1851 Navy type .44 pistols.
As Hawg would surely point out, no Pietta (or other) 1851 Navy replica type in .44 is historically correct.
However...
Pietta markets a "copy" of a J.H Dance and Brothers
.44 pistol. The curious thing about this pistol is that it has been created using an 1851 Navy type steel frame, the cylinder is
not rebated, and the water table is
not cut for a rebated cylinder. However, the cylinder is much larger in diameter than a .36 Navy cylinder, so the water table must have been milled to fit and the bolt must have been modified. These parts are not interchangeable with any other Pietta 1851 Navy type pistol.
I have longed for a Dance .36, and why Pietta did not just mill off the ears of the recoil shields on their 1851 Navy steel frame, install a part round/part octagon .36 barrel (from G&G production) is beyond me. A genuine Dance .36 is rare but not unknown by far. And the parts would have been completely interchangeable between like Pietta 1851 pistols. As it is, it is one of a kind.
Collectible for that reason? Absolutely, but I don't want one.
And the prices I have seen for one of their Dance revolvers is just obscene to me.

Sorry, I digress from the OP.
