Needle-Nose-Tom Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Anyone know of this model? Does it have a safety hammer. First I've seen of it. My Emf pietta californian does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Piettas don't have that new safety hammer, that is Uberti only. All EMF and Cimarron Piettas will be 4 click. Pietta also makes some transfer bar models, I don't know if they have 4 or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle-Nose-Tom Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 Good deal, I realized there was a question on the site it was listed and the dealer said the same. Anyone seen this model before? Looks like a good gun with the low hammer and no safety. I haven't. Like a runnin iron but Pietta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I'm surprised EMF doesn't offer a 3 1/2" with low wide hammer, because that's what lots of mounted shooters prefer. They might substitute that hammer on their 3 1/2" Posse model if requested, maybe? Do you know who the importer or seller is for that gun? A lot of the Piettas sold at big box stores and various other importers have a transfer bar. You might ask if this one does, if that would be a consideration. It would for me.

Needle-Nose-Tom Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 Says it is an MGE Wholesale exclusive model, no transfer bar. I'm thinking it is good to go.Looks like the US Marshall model but with different grips and in 45colt. I was looking for a ruger 3.5 but for 550 I might give it a look.

Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Similar to a revolver that a Canadian shooter has, essentially a Deluxe Californian (1851 Navy grip frame) with Alchimista style wide low hammer and the wide centered trigger. In other words, very similar to Taylor’s Run-n-Irons. EMF had never seen one so it may have been spec’d by the Canadian importer. I have a pair of Deluxe Californians coming from Bud’s (I hope). I purchased Alchimista hammers and triggers to have installed. I hope they will be worth the cost and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle-Nose-Tom Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 I took a chance on a pair we'll see. I just hope they don't show up with any safety mechanism. I know the dealer said they do not. I really like my Californian it was great right out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the criticism of the Uberti Cattleman 2 passive safety (whether justified or not), I would think there is little chance that Pietta would introduce a similar system. Not that I am privy to their plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 If it is a standard hammer then I think the only "safety" will be the two position base pin. Since you already have an EMF, you know about the base pin. I don't mind a two-position pin on an Uberti (easy to shorten it, too), but I HATE the Pietta one that is only notched on one side, so I replaced mine on my one Pietta with an Uberti pin. Problem solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that pre-dates the Cattleman 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem solved! After I bought my Piettas (which Buds has yet to ship) my next step was to order a pair of “no safety” Uberti base pins. VTI was out and I got them from Taylor’s. At a lower price. “My mama told me, ‘you gotta shop around’”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle-Nose-Tom Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Just an update picked these up today and I am very pleased. Super nice pistols with smooth action right out of the box. No safety crap of any kind, 4 clicks and very nice balance in the hand. EMF posse is what it's called I guess, didn't know that until the box showed up. Has Great western II on the 3.5 barrel. The grey grips are kinda a weird color for SAA but nice fit and finish. The CCH frame is also very nice. Overall without getting them to the range yet I would recommend to anyone looking for a short barrel 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
