Review: First, let me thank the EMF Company for a marvelous first purchase experience. I received the 1858 .44 caliber pistol and am thrilled from every perspective. The shipping and packaging was great and the quality of the fit and finish of the pistol is exceptional. I took the pistol to work and showed it to several friends and they all asked for the link so they could buy their own. Sadly, I have yet to shoot it but expect to be equally thrilled when I do.
