Review: fitment of the plastic white grips could be better one fell off as soon as it was handled out of the box . engraving is beautiful and over all beautiful revolver

Review: Just so everyone knows, the grips are like this (the 'gap') on Wild Bill Hickok's real pair of 1851's. You can find a pic of his actual guns by doing a Google search for Wild Bill Hickok Colts Flickr. I am positive these particular Pietta models are meant to be replicas of Hickok's real pistols. Peace.

Review: grips don't fit lbad customer service won't buy annything else from them

Review: I bought the white grips engraved. It is beautiful and will only require cleaning to take it out and shooting. I highly recommend this black powder revolver.

Review: This is the my first purchase from EMF Firearms. The personal service I received from the staff was second to none. The PIETTA 1851 NAVY .36 DLX was not up to my expectations. The president of EMF went far and beyond to make me happy as a customer. 5 PLUS stars for EMF! PIETTA quality?not so much.

Review: Gun is perfect. Beautiful 1851 Navy Colt replica. If the grip fit is an issue for you,20 minutes and some sandpaper is the fix. It's not brain surgery. The barrel and cylinder are high gloss blue. The engraving is flawless. Good job Pietta team!

Review: As many others have said, the grips are so bad I can’t imagine why EMF sends these out the door. On my 1851, the bluing is excellent and the “engraving” looks very well done. The action is very smooth & the trigger pull is excellent. Dealing with EMF is also very good, and I’d certainly tell my friends about my good experience. EMF - Fix the grip & you’ll have one of the finest reproduction revolvers on the market. I also wish you’d use the original size grips, not the enlarged/elongated version... More details

Review: Back part of grip...perfect Bottom part of grip....perfect Front part of grip.....an easy 1/16th too large Really annoying and no apparent way to fix

Review: I just received 1851 Navy Dix Engraved that was on sale for the holidays. It’s my second and it’s beautiful. More important is the service I received from EMS. Lindsey, Charlie, and the rest were most accommodating with my shipping issues and correspondence. Thank you all for the excellent service! TRM

Review: I ordered the deluxe model and got it within 4 days. EMF staff was fantastic. The pistol is perfect. I've bought from them several times now and I've never been disappointed. If your considering buying a cowboy type firearm, do yourself a favor and check out EMF.
