How do you find chiappas? Thinking of getting an 1892 in 357 or 44

Honestley not great so far i only got one because there essentially the only ones who make short silly guns like this other then even worse turkish brands.

I had two 45-70's from chiappa one was a exspensive 3k gun and the QC was so bad i sent it back and got a refund didnt even wanna try again. It wasnt even close to being acceptable. my 1/3 of the price henry was nicer in every possible way.

The second one was one of those all black alaskan takedowns and it was better but still had some issues, the fibre optic was missing from the front sight and had not the greatest fit and finish I gave it to a friend. He says he likes it tho so

This 3rd one is a 357. And the action and such feels leagues better then the other two guns i had but the fit and finish for metal parts again is not good, theres some markings and decently bad metal work on the crown and reciever, both seem cosmetic but theres a 3rd spot where it looks like one of the screws was sunk to far on the reciever or something and the hole for it looks like a chunk or two of metal flaked / cracked out, i dont have any pics because im away from home but i've had 3 chiappas and every winchester, henry and marlin i've own have been better in everyway while being comparable in price.

I'd say if you can man handle one in person first then yea but my luck ordering online has been not good.
