Hey guys I was looking at possibly purchasing a brass frame Pietta 1858 Buffalo .44 revolver, 12 inch barrel and wondered if any body who has owned one or shot one could give me insight on these guns, pros or cons. Cabelas has them on sale. I'm looking for something to plink with and possibly take a deer within close range, 35 yards or less. I realize I can not load them with as much powder as a steel frame, at least that's what I've heard. There is a guy from Africa, on youtube, that uses one for shooting some African game, impala, etc. Thanks for the help.
