Chiappa 1873-22

This was on sale at RK last week, so I ordered one - should be in tomorrow... Hoping I'm not disappointed. My last Heritage had to go back to the factory and be replaced. Replacement is still off a bit on the front site, but going to straighten it myself this time...

Delivered, but the local FFL receiver has all 'the girls' out to lunch.

Will go right after work today! Maybe the rain will hold off long enough I can ping some steel in the back yard...

Looking forward to some photos and a range report.

Of course! I actually had assumed I was picking it up at lunch and was ready to at least post some pics...

That being said, I should take some pics of the other stuff I have...

I'll be interested to hear about this as well.

Just got out of church... Shot a few rounds when I got home but was rushing to get ready for church and get out.

It shot 'low' but I was also rushed and shooting some 8" metal plates, not paper, so not sure how much low.

First impressions, though, pulling out of the box? WOW! Big and heavy! The barrel and cylinder both are basically 'full size' - like a .45 Colt - but the holes are .22 sized.  Book says some models come with a magnum cylinder, so I might look into that, just because.

I want to spend more time with it and see if it's just heavy and I'm dropping the end or what - I want to make sure it's not me before I complain too much - LOL.

It's NOT a blued finish, but a black one, and I like it!!!

Just as a follow up, I was going to take pics and upload last night, but couldn't access the site, so since it was late-ish I just went to bed - LOL - had been a long day...

Will give more details and pics ASAP...
