The best Colt clone I have handled and also own is one that was assembled, factory tuned and finshed by AWA (American Western Arms) from parts obtained from Pietta in Italy. It has a crisp trigger pull and fantastic timing...I have cycled the action easily over a hundred times and there is still no "drag mark" on the cylinder. The gun was such an exact copy that Colt sued AWA and won so the guns are no longer produced...really too bad. If a similar gun could be obtained in Italy from Pietta I think it would be a great choice.
