A few months ago I purchased a Uberti Cattleman II, birds head grip, 3.5" barrel, in .45 Colt. Looks like new, shoots great, but shoots low as expected.
I have some .45 ACP ammo that needs shooting up. I ordered a .45 ACP cylinder from VTI Parts. Very, very prompt service. Cylinder didn't come close to fitting. Short story . . . removed .006 off of ratchets and .012 off of the cylinder pin. Used 360 sandpaper, on quarter inch piece of glass. The glass offered a very flat surface. Polished sanded surfaces with 800 grit. All sanding done with circular motions, switching grip on the pin and cylinder, often. I kept sanding, fitting, sanding, fitting, sanding, fitting, under I got fitment, to suit me. .004 cylinder to barrel gap and no cylinder end shake. Loaded six rounds of cartridges, with no binding when rotating the cylinder. Cold blued the sanded surfaces. I now have a .45 Colt/.45 ACP convertible revolver!
200 grain X-Treme bullets over 5.2 grains of HP-38 is accurate and has low recoil. I love this revolver.
