Uberti Revolvers

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

I confess!

I really want an Uberti open top but have yet to pull the trigger on it. I have no earthly need for it but want it so bad.

Right there with you.

I'm looking at an 1851 open top, 4 3/4", .38 special. Navy model of course.

My new Taylor/Uberti 1851 Navy conversion.

I am having the same dilemma with this...

"Honey I need this..."

"No you don't...Not really...You just want it because it's cool..."

"Right...And thank you for making my point...."

Nice looking revolver Birds.

You need to buy that Inducky.

 

[Birds Away]

Thanks, Leadeye.

I had not payed much attention to the Pietta replicas but handled quite a few AR NRAAM last week. Spoke to one of their reps and learned about several nice features. I came away somewhat impressed.

I'm not sure if I would shoot a SA enough to wear it out but the Pietta has a firing pin pinned to the hammer, a press fit thrust plate over the firing pin hole and a press fit cylinder bushing. All ~$6 & not too hard to change yourself.

Tell her that your lil bro won't be stopping back by until you get one of those.

I am voting for the "It's Indiana deer legal though." Argument

Love my Uberti SAA in 45 Colt. But I can't say anything that hasn't been said already. I want one in 44-40 with the old west finish on it.

I was never much of a fan of "cowboy" pistols until I got a Ruger Blackhawk convertible (45 Colt/45 acp), and while I know it's not really a "cowboy" pistol, it's a lot of fun. This thread has me starting to want one of these conversion guns. I'm too lazy for black powder but to have the old style pistol that uses modern cartridges sounds seems like a great way to have the best of both worlds.

As for why I don't really want the black powder version, I think Steve Earle summed it up pretty well...

"My very first pistol was a cap 'n ball Colt.
Shoot as fast as lightin' but she loads a might slow.
She loads a might slow, I soon found out,
Get you into trouble but it can't get ya out."

All are 44 Special.

Uberti upper right.

This is my Uberti 1873 Cattleman .357 Mag 3 1/2" with the Birdshead grip, DeSantis Doc Holliday lined cross draw holster on a Desperado 2 1/4" gun belt with 25 cartridge loops. The trigger is amazing and breaks clean at 2 lbs. 10 oz. The action is easy to work and has the 4 Colt click when thumbing the hammer to full cock. I will be shooting sometime this week

Sold! I'll take it!

Man I wish. That is the exact setup I've been thinking about lately. I logged back on today to look at it again. That gun / leather combo are perfect together. Nice!!!

Okay, here's my latest. It was just ordered today. Remington 1858 conversion in .38 special with 7.375" barrel.

 

[Leadeye]

Looks sharp Birds, enjoy.

I like that style of conversion better than the just cylinders I had for my pair of 1858's.....Be sure and post some good pics when you get it Birds....

 

[Leadeye]

Only issue I have with the 1858 conversion is the cylinder is a little shorter than the Colt's. Some of the bullets I cast for 45 Colt are a little too long for it.

Well that and with black powder cartridges you have to wipe that sucker down after EVERY cylinder!!!! Those tolerances are tight lol...
