Chiappa Firearms SAA 1873

First, have written several reviews of products from Bud%u2019s. I always try to be fair, thorough, honest and upbeat. Having said that . . . . Folks, don%u2019t buy this firearm. Never once did it fire more that 4 or 5 chambers without total lockup which

The item appeared to come well packaged and shipped. But it was only last week that I had a chance to inspect the revolver for shooting when I noticed that the barrel was heavily fouled. So much so that I had trouble getting a .17 bore brush to enter and

Well, I finally brought my 17-10 home and gave it the full inspection. First, it's a "cheap gun..." which apparently most have already figured out, and it's also made primarily of zinc alloy, with a steel barrel liner, full-steel cylinder bored for 10 car

Paid less than $200 for this gun... Definitely well worth the money. Not much else I can say except it does what it is supposed to. I could mention that the grip 'feels' a little cheap but I won't on a cool gun that costs less than $200. Overall great val

This March, I ordered the Chiappa Buntline .22LR with the 12 in barrel and it is an absolute blast to shoot! Accurate, and so far, very reliable. At the same time, I ordered the Chiappa SAA 17-10 pistol chambered in 17 hmr with the 7.5 in barrel. I took a

Fairly accurate. Nice weight means no recoil. Standard grips are awful so I spent $35 (including shipping) for a nice wooden pair from the manufacturer. They set the whole thing off really nice. That's the good news. Bad news is that ejecting shells is a

Buds guns sure got it to my FFL very fast . Only took 3 days . The Chiappa 17hmr revolver is a nice looking gun and made well . Have not shot it but cannot wait to do so .

This was my first revolver

This was my first revolver... it is a nice piece! I recommend if you want a nice .22 revolver! Fun to shoot at the pistol range!
