Pietta Colt 1851 Blank Firing gun

Hello, I'm wondering to buy this following blank firer: Pietta Colt 1851 Navy steel frame!

Is there anybody who has experience with these Pietta Blank Guns? I would like to have some opinions about that! Do I get a lot gun for the money? Please give me your opinions!

Best Regards from Norway!

Hi Nome93,

The only criticism I've hear about the Italian guns (black powder versions too) is that some of them suffer from springs breaking - just like the original Colts did! Poor metallurgy being the most likely cause.''

Springs can be replaced, or made - so I would be happy to live with that possibility.''
I own several other Italian blank firers and have had no problems so far (over 18 months).
But like everything else - sometimes you can buy a "lemon"!

Good luck - and post a review if you buy one!

I have the 1851 Navy Colt by Pietta and it is a beautiful gun. I always loved its looks even as a kid watching the old westerns.
