PH1305 Classic Arms New Orleans Ace Pistol Kit Reviews

Product: PH1305 Classic Arms New Orleans Ace Pistol Kit
From: Cameron Duplessis
Date: Monday 05 October, 2009

Review:

A decent pistol, though a warning to buyers, It's not terribly functional (weak spring, won't hold out for long under use) and the metal bits require a lot more filing and polishing than you might expect.

Only two things that were "wrong" with the kit that I received, though they were excusable:
1. The hammer pin relief hole drilled in the grip was slightly off center, though easily and quickly remedied.
2. The dovetails for the ramrod rings weren't slung directly under the barrel, they were offset by about 45 degrees, which actually, though not correct to the model, gave it a very cool look.
