I just wanted to post my thoughts from this last weekend on my new Chiappa 1873-22 SAA.
Overall very happy. The gun has the heft of the big brother calibers, but cheaper to shoot. I bought it for this reason. I wanted an single action army for cheap (paid $170) that had all the normal features of a "real" SAA. The action is very smooth and I just love the sound. It seems to be fairly accurate, but I wasn't really target shooting at the time, just having fun with it.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for an SAA on a budget or just for fun.
