The longer pin on the Uberti is used for a safety. If you push it in to the second notch it will protrude from the back of the frame and act as a hammer block to prevent the firing pin from being able to contact a cartridge beneath it if the hammer is inadvertently struck. .

A 2 day weekend match of 10 stages per day could run 200 rounds of pistol, 200 rifle, and upwards of 200 12 gauge. If you shoot every month, then are multiplying those numbers by 12, at least. Not to mention practicing in between. As far as .45LC, I would estimate maybe 1/8th of the shooters I ran into in over the 30 years I have been involved in the sport, used it.

Rollin White apparently did contract work for Colt’s and developed five patents around 1855, including Patent 12648 which was for an "Improvement in Repeating Fire-arms" Whitw approached Colt’s with his bored-through cylinder and was turned down due to problems (White used a paper cartridge resulting in chain-fires, among other issues). The next year, White signed an agreement granting Smith & Wesson the exclusive use of his patent for boring through the chambers, but not the rest of the patent. White retained a royalty rate of 25 cents for every revolver. Smith & Wesson developed White’s patent into a working revolver by coming up with the .22 rimfire cartridge utilizing a metal case containing the priming compound and black powder with the bullet seated in the end, eliminating the chain-fire problem. Smith & Wesson did not invent the bored-through cylinder, they found a way to make it useable.

@@spiritualawakenings6251 What 75 is referring to is that original Ubertis had the Colt mechanics, but there is NO extra detent on the hammer radius. The import guns all have longer cylinder pins devised as a safety feature so that in some other reality you can load & carry 6rds safely without a fixed firing pin down on a primer. The other thing that Uberti has done is come up with a "Cattleman 2" version which has a hammer transfer bar (floating firing pin) that does allow for the safe carry of 6rds. Unlike a Ruger Vaquero 1 & 2, all functions are the same EXCEPT for the detents or notches in the hammer radius; there are now 3 instead of 4 because they lost the 1st click which was the safety which is no longer needed AND it did move the trigger further into the center of the trigger guard. As a purist, I won't own or buy a Ruger or a Uberti Cattleman 2; I want the original Colt mechanical design.

Cimarron uses both Uberti and pietta depending on which model of Cimarron firearm you're looking for. Cimarron models beginning with PP like PP 401, pp405 and PP 415 are specifically pietta made and are traditional 4 click authentic internal Colt clones, some piettas also have transfer bar actions depending on model. All others are generally Uberti, a few of which also have four click internals but also have What's called the safety hammer, an additional component inside the action with a rod that travels through the center of the hammer engaging the back of the firing pin pushing it forward when the trigger is depressed fully to the rear. Generally speaking, the first generation single action Colts were updated in 1896 with a slightly wider front blade sight and wider notch rear sights in the top strap as well as a half moon finger mount for the ejector rod along with the spring-loaded catch for the bass rod as you mentioned.

The longer base pin on the Uberti is technically a safety, this allows it to be imported as part of the "points" system.

Careful with that dual groove base pin. If you use it for a safety you might regret it for two reasons, 1) It can slip and fail to prevent the hammer from hitting the primer, causing a negligent discharge 2) It tends to become very hard to remove due to a now out of round shape caused by marring from being slammed into the horizontal spring latch bolt by the force of the hammer.

I actually got the pin in from Taylors about a month ago. A Uberti pin in a Pietta revolver and I was very surprised at how smooth it operates. The grooves lock the base pin in as tight as the factory single notch pin from Pietta. I figured something would be a little off but I'm very satisfied with how it functions. Being that I won't shoot them much (more just a fun project for the movie prop idea) I think it will be just fine. But thanks for the input because it is always good to have others that experience chime in.

Some false info here in regards to the schofield being dropped because of ammo, etc. They actually issued a Colt Government cartridge that would work in either. Partly also because it was found not many could shoot a full house 40 grain BP load well. If anyone has ever fired a 250 grain lead bullet on top of a black powder load like that you would know that it's a stout round. Recoil being near a 44 mag in a more modern heavier gun like a blackhawk.

The two grooves in the base pin are cause you can shove the pin in farther to not allow hammer to contact primer. Patton’s grips were ivory not pearl. He said pearl was for pimps.

Are 44-40 and 44 WCF interchangable? I own a Colt SAA in 44-40, but I can't seem to find any other 44-40's in the design I want but I can in 44 WCF. So, if I find a 44 WCF a like I want would the 44-40 rounds work in both (44-40 and 44 WCF) revolvers?
@MarksmanTV5 жыл бұрын
Yes, 44-40 and 44WCF are the same thing. WCF means Winchester Center Fire. Where as 44-40 means 44 caliber and 40 grains of black powder. Both are the same round.

James MarksmanTV touches on an interesting issue; that being the somewhat “pissy” relations between Colt’s and Winchester. One story goes that Winchester approached Colt’s to ask if they could chamber their new1873 rifle in .45 Colt. Supposedly, Mrs. Sam Colt rejected the request.

What for the life of me I can't figure out makes the Colt SAA a $2000 or higher gun, other then Colt can't figure out how to produce available numbers? Does anyone know if the Uberti finish lasts or does it dissolve into a colorless blob after a season of shooting?
@opencarry38604 жыл бұрын
I have many Ubertis that I have owned for many years with plenty of mileage on them. The finish holds up very well to use. It is said that the Colt's have better steel, but my Uberti's are showing no more wear as my Ruger revolvers are showing. In my Opinion, you are paying for the Colt name, not for three times the quality.
@jesspeters12134 жыл бұрын
My Uberti has black finish. I keep it in a western holster so there is some wear on the finish. But I have had it about 8 years. Love it, shoots accurately and reliable.
@Drebin-84273 жыл бұрын
Alot of it is the name. Modern day $2,000 SAA that are made by other companies are on par with Ubirti but the internals are machined better. A good portion of the cost is you are paying someone to spend hours with hand tools fine-tuning the internals. If you know how to use a file you can make a Ubirti feel like a $2000 gun in a few hours.
@DK-gy7ll3 жыл бұрын
Colt uses real charcoal/bone color case hardening, which is more expensive than the acid wash CCH simulation Uberti uses. Also a Colt will have more parts made from machined barstock steel. Uberti uses a lot of cast parts. Functionally however there is little difference. The Colt is a better investment piece, but the Uberti is every bit as good a shooter for 1/4 the price.

When you hear the four clicks of a Colt SAA as the hammer is cocked its great to hear the letters Colt spelled out so clearly. On the other hand when you pull the hammer back on a replica all the clicks spell is FAKE. Always Colt.

@geraldscott43022 жыл бұрын
While the SAA cylinder held six rounds, if you were going to carry it, you only loaded 5 rounds, to avoid having the firing pin resting on a loaded chamber. It's fine to load 6 at the range, or wherever you are shooting, as long as the barrel is kept pointed downrange.
@63DW89A2 жыл бұрын
@Gerald Scott for the occasional shooter of today, the "load five, hammer on empty chamber" is the best, safest option, no question. However, for the folks in the past who carried and really used the SAA as primary weapon, there are ways of safely carrying all 6 rounds loaded to prevent accidental discharge. I won't personally say how I carry a SAA fully loaded in a safe manner here, but suggest reading SIXGUNS by Elmer Keith to learn the various methods that were really used back in the day.

What's hard for some to visionalize, is "single action" so folks think; "gosh someone had to pull the hammer back just to fire the gun!" The reality is, so did their enemies. My point every gunfighter had to pull the hammer back to fire, 98% of all holstered weapons were single action. So it's all equal back in the day.
