Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Got an e-mail ad from EMF this morning; followed the link, and, BAM ! - looked at the prices. I bought my Pietta 1851 Colt Capt. Schaeffer pistols about a year ago, at $395 each; price now is $540!!!! I bought my Pietta 1851 Colt Navy Deluxe U.S. Marshals shortly before that, at $375 each; now $421 (or $505/$515 with upgraded grips). Price of steel in Italy must have gone up!!

I have an EMF Californian (Pietta) inbound right now for considerably less than their list price. That said, if you have a SASS # EMF will give you a discount if you order direct.

The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I mean American copies of the Italian clones of the American single action revolvers. Hahaha. Just funnin' I know it would be way too hassle loaded to make them here. If it coulda been done cheap enough and easy enough, Mike Harvey or Val Forgett woulda done it eons ago.

Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 What I do find amusing is folks that have no idea what the costs are to run a said business and still be profitable bit*&ing about the cost of something...basically implying that the said business is just ripping them off. It's funny to me...but then I have a strange sense of humor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
