El CupAJoe 164 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I see that the Uberti 1873 C&B is listed in exceptions "not allowed" for frontiersman, I see no prohibition for the Pietta 1873 cap and ball, is there a reason the Uberti is not allowed but the Pietta isn't mentioned?

Abilene, SASS # 27489 1,267 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Because when they made that rule the Uberti was the only one. This is the first time I've heard of the Pietta version. I'm guessing next time the handbook is updated then Pietta will be added to the Exception list, or the name Uberti will just be deleted. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El CupAJoe 164 Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 I'm guessing both are eligible for age based categories, or are they not allowed there either? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some of our European SASS pards, in places where they cannot use cartridge guns, or haven't met the requirements, use them in other categories. Just not Frontiersman. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

An 1873 "SAA-style" percussion revolver is NOT LEGAL for Frontiersman/Plainsman regardless of manufacturer. As previously noted, many of us were unaware that Pietta also manufactured one. The next version of the SHB (2022) will be updated to include that model. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tucker McNeely 253 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Don’t have an Uberti or Pietta dog in the fight. I run ROAs. However, the Frontiersman rules have been set by the fine cowboys that wanted that category. I play by their rules. I will not support changing frontiersman ‘cause a shooter wants to use their new c&b pistol. Percussion pistols are allowed in any category. Frontiersman category is specific n the percussion pistols allowed. If ROAs had not been allowed at the time I decided to shoot Frontiersman, then I would have chose a different pistol. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
