Colorado Coffinmaker Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Appears to be Same same as "TTN" or Cimarron 1878 before the Chinese Connection disconnected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture looks a little like that, but EMF does currently list a Hartford 1878 hammer gun that is different and lists for $1150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Abilene Absolutely true. Howsomever, EMF use to market the TTNesque 1878 replica as their "Hartford." Then the Chinese guns all started going to Cimarron. EMF and Taylors had to scramble for a replacement. Both EMF and Taylors carried the Pedersoli 1878 Replica. Some pricy, but the finest made Hammer Double out there. Now, Pietta is providing an "new" 1878 replica to EMF (Pietta own EMF). The new EMF Hartford is made by Pedersoli just toned down a bit. The machine work and the furniture are absolutely OUTSTANDING. Makes the TTNesque guns look like clubs (they are, actually). I just happen to have a sample example (literally) of the "new" Hartford vis Pietta and it is absolutely SUPERB!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is this new, "toned down" model selling for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi Goodie The Hartford on the EMF Web Page for $1150 is the "New" Pietta. Actually made by Pedersoli. If you compare the photo of the "Wyatt Earp" to the "Hartford" you'll see a striking resemblance. Since I own both, I can compare actual innards as well. The Wyatt Earp is now reduced to $1550. A real bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, and shoot a TTN. This gun is at least 1/2 again as heavy, and the craftsmanship is outstanding. I'll bring it to the TN State match for show 'n' sell if no-one has claimed it by then but it's a bargain at this price. More pictures have been added.

Cowhand,SASS#63559 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 First double I bought and last double I’ll buy. Used them all TTN, EMF and Cimarron . The early TTN is better, if you use it would you would know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas McBoomboom Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 So is this a Pedersoli or a Chinese version? Apologies if I missed this info, I've read the thread several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
