FunGunSunday: The Heritage Rough Rider/Pietta 1873 SAA

The Italian six-gun is often a misunderstood beast. Join me as I make a case for this enigma of historical oddity, and showcase just how fun a spaghetti shooter can be!

"Sinopa" was one of my first handguns, and certainly my most personal. Starting life as a Heritage-branded Pietta 1873, this pistol has undergone a transformation, becoming a horse packer's sidearm, a beer can trick performer, a self-defense lifeline, and even a movie star.

This video is the first of what I hope to be a lengthy new series, in which I will showcase several rare, modified, or otherwise under-represented firearms from my collection. Stay tuned!
