Anyone with experience with Pietta 1878 hammered coach gun?

The CZ coach gun has been a consensus choice from what I've seen. Pietta has a hammered gun, but haven't heard anything about it. It's listed @ $1475 from EMF, $999 at Midway and $837 at Bud's Gunshop. How would it compare with the CZ?

Far nicer than a CZ -- I have both.

My shooting pard Coffinmaker, says that inside, it's the same as the very high quality  Pedersoli.

My CZ has 30" barrels, it's my BP hunting gun.

Personally, I prefer my TTNs, (I have 3 of them)

Nothing against the CZ and the Pietta, the TTNs just "feel" right on my shoulder, and that's what I've shot since they were introduced many years ago.

The Pietta is SUPER well made.  It is also quite stiff out of the box as the tolerances are quite tight.  Takes a while to loosen up.  I also suggest one secure a replacement set of Main Springs before tackling the OEM main Springs.  I don't think anyone could be unhappy with the Pietta.  Except maybe Pr . . . . . Nah.  He's not unhappy with his.  He just likes TTNs (So do I).  I however like my Pietta and my Pedersoli a whole lot better than a TTN.  Or a CZ.
