    One More Sixgun! Uberti El Patron .45 Colt.

    Hello. Now I can preserve my original Colt SAA (.38-40) and eventually wear out this new El Patron in .45 Colt. I really wanted a Pietta, but could not find any in France right now, except in .357. I almost went for it, would have if I didn't already own a 586. My first Pietta SAA had a timing...

    Pietta, Uberti, or Ruger.

    Lately I’ve really got the itch to buy a single action revolver in .357. I’m thinking I want a Colt reproduction and I’ve been looking at Uberti and Pietta. I’ve read that Uberti has gone away from the four click action and started making all their single action cartridge revolvers with the...

    1858 Uberti in Stainless received as a gift, tips on care?

    So I received a great suprise early bday gift from my dad who lives out of state since he knows I'm into Civil War memorabilia, etc. I now have a Uberti 1858 44 caliber in Stainless (8"bbl) I've had experience with lots of cartridge guns and shotguns but this is a different beast. In my cart...

    Uberti 1860 Army .44 Ballistics

    Today’s shoot with the Uberti 1860 gave some interesting data about the power difference between Old Eynsford (a fairly stout powder) and 777 (an even stouter powder), as well as some conclusions about the maximum power historically possible from the .44. The following are velocity and energy...

    Optimized Uberti 1860 Army

    I just got my Uberti 1860 Army back and I’m pleased to report that it’s a shooter! Jackrabbit57 optimized the gun and I have no complaints. The loose arbor was retightened and is solid, the loading lever was repaired, and there are a number of new improvements as well (action block, set screw...

    Seeking a spare Uberti barrel

    I’ve been shooting black powder about two years now and enjoying the sport. With summer approaching, wearing a long coat to conceal a 7.5”-8” barrel is getting impractical and I started thinking about how sleek it would be to turn an 1851 into a cut down 1861 or shorten an 1860 with a simple...

    Miroku Winchester 1873 in .357Mag: The usual question

    Hi there! I know this question has probably been done to death, but I have never seen a conclusive answer to it. Miroku (and Uberti) both make their 1873 Winchester in .357Mag. I have seen people claim that the toggle link is too weak to take it and that you should stick with .38 special. Other...

    A Lucky Find

    I recently purchased the last Uberti 1858 NMA with 8” barrel that could be found In Stock through Dixie. Their search function didn’t bring it up. I had to scroll the entire catalogue to find the item hiding miraculously In Stock for $395. Some days it’s actually good to be me for a change...

    Mashed sear

    I started Cowboy Fast Draw and single actions last year. I purchased a uberti cattleman. After 4 months of practice, the gun would suddenly not stay in full cock. It would drop back to half cock. I did have to move the hammer a bit to get the cylinder to rotate to remove the laser cartridge. So...

    Uberti Cattleman .44 w/ No Half-Cock

    All, I just acquired a used Uberti Cattleman in .44 Magnum. The serial number is late 27xxx, all matching w/ AA date stamp 1975 date of manufacture. Left side frame stamp below the cylinder: IVER JOHNSON'S FITCHBURG-MASS-U.S.A. My concern lies with the fact that there is no half-cock notch...

    Uberti 1873 Carbine - seeking advice

    Hello, so I've bought a factory-new Uberti 1873 Carbine with a 19" barrel in .357 Magnum about a month ago, and I am sad to say, I'm less than happy with it. I've done extensive research on the internet before I decided to go for this gun, which showed basically universal agreement that the...

    Resizing/Peening Uberti Wedge

    You guys might recall I had previously put in some work on the Uberti 1851. I first took the gun in to a smith to get the arbor reconstructed and tightened with some epoxy to eliminate some wiggling that had started to develop. Then I corrected the arbor length by fitting two #6 steel washers...

    Uberti 1858 in .44

    Hi all. This is my first post, and it's about...well, the title gun lol. I have the sheriff's model, and it's a recent buy, I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. I measured the bore and the chambers with my digital calipers and came out to a range between .43 and change to .445. Keep in mind...

    Uberti sear/bolt spring

    I just started cowboy fast draw and purchased a Uberti cattleman new model. The purchase included an action job. After a couple weeks of practice with a laser cartridge in my hall way, I think the sear/bolt spring broke. Half cock works, cylinder rotation behavior is normal, but the hammer will...

    New Colt 1847

    I got this through a deal. A Uberti 1847. These were on my radar for a long time but i've held that off because of how heavy they are. Every other handgun feels light after you pick this one up. It's definitely a horse pistol. Also got a Triple K holster. Don't have a flask yet though. Now...

    Anyone have any experience with the Uberti 1875 Army Outlaw?

    I picked up one of these beauties in .357 a few months ago. Unfortunately before I could even shoot the thing I began to have issues with the hammer. Instead of cocking back fully and staying there till it's time to shoot the hammer snaps forward into half cock. Over the past few months I've...

    .357/.38 Uberti Cattleman and Winchester 1873 Rifle ammo

    I have a .357mag/.38sp Uberti Cattleman revolver. I’m getting a Winchester 1873 Deluxe Sporting rifle in the same caliber. Any recommendations on the best ammo brands, grain, round/flat nose, etc... that I can use in both? Using mostly for target, maybe hunting with the rifle, and the...

    Uberti SAA cylinder bushing

    I just got a uberti cattleman SAA and just took it all apart for cleaning. However, i couldnt get the cylinder bushing out. I was told the gun was made in ‘93 so maybe no one took it out to clean and its just stuck, but i was wondering if uberti ever made their cattleman’s without a removable...
