44 mag deal? Merry CHRISTmas
That trigger sure is a long way forward.
Looks like a trigger with the sear broken off.
Old Model Ruger

The price is good, Rugers are through the roof.
That weight cannot be right (68+ oz.?!) it's 40 something, I think a Ruger is 48 oz. 68 is 4-1/4 lbs!
The trigger does look rather odd, Surely it moves back as the sear is clicked into position. That trigger feature is not really attractive. Just a little shaping would help a bunch. A Bisley hammer and trigger would have been slick too.
A 4 lb. .44 Mag would not recoil much.
I bet that trigger being so far forward
will bite the heck out of your trigger finger under recoil.
When the hammer falls and the gun recoils that trigger will go forward.
The New Model Rugers do that to me with their trigger going forward so much. It's why I love Gary's "Set Back" trigger. I had that done to my .475 Linebaugh after it bit a chunk out of my trigger finger.

Gary's Set Back trigger on my .41
The Italian rig trigger is so high in the chassis a well
I think a retrofit or rebuild would greatly help both the looks a performance of that trigger. It doesn't even look comfortable, not much room in there, much less for a gloved finger. I think the Boss' nephew is in charge of "trigger design" at Pietta.lol
I think it could be heated and reshaped
But if I am paying $600 for a pistol I would not be happy having to rebuild it so it suited me. I would rather pay more and get something that don't need work.
Now ... I do enjoy fiddling with 'em .. if I haven't got a bunch of money sunk into them beforehand.
