That's a damn nice looking piece. I love my Ubertis, but that one is something special. Thanks for the great pics.

It gorgeous and in my favorite caliber to boot! Looks like a fairly recent production model as it has the nifty little safety that's built into the hammer.
Congrats! If I may ask, where did you find it? (So I'll know where to look in the future!)

Boge, Thank you for sharing the photos. You did real well with them. That is a stunning six-shooter. I'm a believer in Uberti. I had one I got in a deal....the darn gun outshot several of my 'nicer' SA revolvers.
The caliber is a real plus too!

One more question for the sake of proper pronunciation and grammar: Is it a Yoo-ber-tee, or an Oo-ber-tee?

Cholla A guy posted that on the Ruger Forum at a VERY reasonable price, and I was fortunate enough to see it early, and smart enough to not pussyfoot around. I jumped on it with both feet! The Uberti folks pronounce it "you-BEAR-tee". Grammar-wise, one should use "an" before a word beginning with a vowel. Boge

Boge; That is ONE FINE REVOLVER! I have a Cimarron in .44 Special (4 3/4" barrel) and it shoots exceptionally well (under 1" at 25 yards off a rest with the Skeeter load). It has a great trigger (almost too light and CLEAN) and is smooth as silk. The chamber throats are correct and frankly (some will think this is heresy) I haven't seen many original Colts that will equal mine much less better it. YMMV
My only complaint with mine, is the sights (similar to a 1st generation Colt). These old eyes do NOT like those sights. I really like the fixed sights on my Ruger Bisley Vaquero, as an example (square back and clean and wide front sight to match). Like you, I SHOOT my guns and expect them to "hit where they are lookin'".
Again, that is a beautiful piece! You can now walk around with a "lookin' like the cat that swallowed the canary" smile on your face!
