I'd like to get a pair of stainless 44 Special Vaqueros, well one 4 5/8 Vaquero like yours, and one 3 1/2 inch Sherriff's model. The 4 5/8 gun will get a SBH hammer, and both will get Pat Grashorn elk horn grips. |

I like the idea of a SBH hammer and a new set of grips. These white ones are nice, but I would prefer a set of the checkered black ones. |

My sister wants one of those (the S&W #3 .45 Colt version), honestly I do too, what do you think of the Uberti version? I have a personal rule that I never buy any foreign copy of a gun I can buy American. In a perfect world I could buy all my guns US made but this one is definitely going to be a foreign made gun purchase out of necessity which is ok because I love the looks of the nickel plated model with white pearl grips. |

Thanks Brandi
I hoped you would like it . Would make a New Orleans pimp blush I have an original Model 3 S&W but as you know it is quite old and I can't really shoot it a lot . So ... That leaves us with the Uberti but honestly I don't mind . If the American gun companies can't get it together enought to produce what we want , then so be it . This makes my fourth break top from Uberti and they all have performed well . I normally prefer blued guns but this one is a beauty and the screws are fire blued |

The World needs more Single Actions. Here, two new Uberti(s) I just bought; top left is .45LC (and brass furniture), bottom right is... .22LR (same frame as the .45LC, this one is the 10 shot, same frame, not the smaller lighter one, superb cheap training toy)! ![]() Uberti Single Actions by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

I still want to pick up one as a more traditional platform for launching .45 Colt. |

I didn't really know what to expect but I was extremely pleased by how it felt and shot. It's a hard sensation to describe when you're used to shooting a .45 Colt SA but it might be even MORE fun! Mines extremely accurate in .22LR and .22mag, combined with the weight and size it would make a perfect trail/survival gun. Anyone who loves shooting single actions will really love .22 versions of those guns. I considered a 10 shot model but when I thought about the advantage of having an extra 4 shots before reloading, it reminded me I would spend even more time unloading those extra cartridges and reloading them. For me, the traditional 6 shots then a quick unload/reload was a better option but everyone has their own preferences. Here's mine, a Lipsey dealer exclusive, Ruger Single Six .22LR/.22WMR Convertible. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/Brandiwynter/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0189_zpsftdxpuzk.jpg I have one also. They are nice. |

And as anticipated previously, here we get a better look at the Uberti Cattleman 1873 SAA in (oh) .22LR For comparison, below, its bigger caliber (and brand) sister Colt in .45LC ![]() 1873 SAAs by SoloDallas, on Flickr ![]() 1873 SAAs by SoloDallas, on Flickr The pictures do the guns justice; they are as pictured. Haven't shot the Uberti yet; picked it up yesterday (after the usual jail-time requested here in SoCal for handguns). Notes: the Uberti is - surprisingly - considerably heavier. Much heavier. Why, Phil? Because. Maybe different metals and - for sure - barrel is thicker (it's got the contour for .22LR as opposed to the larger hole - hence lighter - .45LC). Uberti cylinder holds 10 rounds of .22LR (please note: this is not the Stallion! This is the Cattleman in .22LR; i.e., same identical frame as the bigger caliber Uberti Cattlemans out there) Will proceed to shooting time permitting.

Is that one of the new "deep laser engraved" guns? I can't remember if it was Uberti or Pietta that just released them. |

Well since you asked .....
I estimate it being built at S&W around the time Custer met Crazy Horse on the Little Big Horn . It is stamped 1874 on the Butt posterior to the lanyard ring . Was accepted and stamped at the Kure Naval Base in Japan . This much I know . Renickel finish in working condition . It had some mechanical issues that have been addressed in a drawn out manner but yeah pretty much my grail gun |

Dang those Colt's are sweet!! That engraved nickel plated model with the pearl steers head grip gives me fuzzy feelings all over my body...yeah, I like it that much! I don't suppose you would be willing to will that to me would you? Not that I'm planning on having you killed immediately after or anything...just saying. |

Spax - Sir - you've come to the point where your pictures aren't pictures anymore. They are paintings in fact. Representations of historical and natural art; beauty of items that go beyond the firearm itself. Do you understand? I know you do, because I know that that was the intent.
