1851 Captain Schaeffer .36 4" UI

Review: A really nice reproduction. Beautiful engraving. Good action. Grips need some additional fitting. Wedge was difficult to remove. Too bad it’s out of stock. I really like it and would recommend it.

Review: Stunning fit and finish, smooth action and excellent trigger. Balance in the hand is top notch. The engraving is amazing! If you’re on the fence, just buy this revolver!!

Review: Perfect balance for me. Engraving is beautiful and I am very happy to have this gun in my collection.

Review: I have wanted one of these for years and now my dream has been realized. It's almost too good to shoot, but I probably will! The box was well made and the insert cradled the revolver perfectly. The package was in perfect condition. The engraving looks better than the pictures show. Very detailed. A true work of art. Remember to take it apart and give it a thorough cleaning. Lots of factory oil insures it will arrive rust free. It's also a good idea to remove the nipples with a proper wrench and ... More details

Review: First, quick delivery! The gun arrived and I opened the box and was exceedingly pleased. The laser engraving looks quite good. I was surprised there, even though Mike Bellavieu said it looked good. I shot the gun first and was excited to hit 5 of 6. When I disassembled the gun, I was pleased to find few tiny burrs and the insides were in better condition than any other Pietta I own. I've got a few. The action was exceptionally smooth and the timing was perfect. Trigger pull before the first shot... More details

Review: Just received mine today. Have not shot it yet. My first impression was it is a pretty revolver. This is my first introduction to laser engraving so I’m assuming it is a good job, and I haven’t found any flaws in it yet anyway. As for the revolver itself it is a Pietta so it functions fair, but will be better after I tune it. I have had good luck with Pietta products so no concerns there. My one complaint with this particular gun and the reason for only 3 stars is they cheaped out on the grips. ... More details

Review: EMF personnel get 5 stars and Pietta gets 2 because it is a pretty gun. At this price point it is unacceptable that Pietta ships a gun with the grip material fully extending 1/16 on the front side of the grip frame. The blackstrap and bottom align but the trigger side, nope. Wedge fitment could have better, like a gorilla installed it with a press, lastly it would be nice if Pietta cleaned off the test fowling instead of dumping in several ounces of machine oil into the bag. the gun arrived with... More details

Review: As for EMF's customer service, from beginning to end I couldn't be more pleased with how professional, kind, and courteous each person was I dealt with. As to the pistol, it is a beautiful piece and I am amazed at the quality of the engravings. I have a Pietta 1858 Remington that is also engraved and compared to this pistol the engraving seems drawn on. Honestly I thought it was hand engraved until I did some research online. My only reason for leaving a 4 star review concerns the grips and only... More details

Review: EMF folks were great to work with. Transaction went very smoothly. About the guns: Only complaint is the white grips are poorly fitted. Lots of edge overhang. Spent a couple of hours filing/sanding to get things right. Metalwork is pretty good. Timing/lock-up is dead on. Purchased a pair of these. EMF got me a sequential pair for no extra charge. Haven’t been able to fire them yet so can’t report on that.

Review: I was helped every step of the way and responded to emails same day. Received my package in less than a week from ordering.
