Great video, awe revolver. Three years ago when it became so hard to find 45 Colt ammo I bought a Lee loading kit and started loading and then reloading my 45 Colt cartridges. Then about 18 months ago it became very hard to find 45 Colt brass and Large pistol primers. But luckily for me when I started loading I had bought two cases of pistol primers and 4 bags of brass, and I'm still shooting off that brass. I really like your Uberti SAA 9mm, I like the idea of being able to shoot an old west gun with modern ammo that you can still find in the store that's not extremely over price. Thanks for sharing, nice revolver.

A cowboy gun in 9mm? That's neat af

Now I have to convince my wife that I need to get this revolver for Xmas 😁 thanks for the video.

I recently bought a SAA. Pieta great western 357 It also came with a 9mm cylinder. Love it

I just bought one of these today. Can’t wait to get out to the range and give her a try.

Load one, skip one, load four, close it. Now it's hammer is down on the empty chamber. As you showed.

By the time you read this it might not matter, but KZfaq is taking a really long time to process the high-definition version of this video so it'll be at 360p for a while. In the future I might schedule it so that's already done.

~12:05 The cylinders are numbered because in competition shooting sometimes you are only allowed 1 or 2 bullets, and so you want to shoot from the most accurate cylinder, and not all are created equal... Or so I've heard.

There’s nothing plastic on that revolver. Uberti and Pietta make the nicest, (affordable/traditional) Colt replicas on the market. Both companies chambering these in 9mm was a smart move.

The leather string on the holster at 21:10 is to be put over the hammer to keep the revolver from falling out of the holster while walking or while riding a horse.

I would imagine that would recoil more then your typical 9MM handgun. At least you would feel it more due to the fact you don't have the slide absorbing that energy. Then again what you feel typically is the mass of the slide so maybe it just balances out.

I would consider the procedure of slugging the barrel with a soft lead ball of the initial diameter of a little over 0.357". This should return the actual bore (groove) diameter. If it is 0.357", standard 9x19 ammo may not provide the best accuracy. Anyway, the barrels of such revolvers are of traditional design - cut rifling, no special treatment like chromium or cyanide (nitriding or carbonitriding) AFAIK, they are not even known for particularly good steel. My gunsmith / gunshop owner warned me against shooting a lot of jacketed ammo through similar revolvers. They are best suited to ammo with hard cast lead bullets. Polymer coating is good with them. So the best options are either reloading or finding polymer coated lead bullet ammo on the market.

Hard to get me excited about the Italian SA guns. But the 9mm chambering is very practical. And yours is truly good looking. I may have to track one down. Great review

The smaller loop goes over the hammer of your gun. Not, Through your belt loop. Great video

I bought a El Patron in December of 2012. 357 magnum. I replaced the base pin with a colt one.

I've got an el patron in 45 long colt and love it, I've been reloading for 40yrs, I reload for all handguns and rifles I have. Like u got tired of the lack of ammo and the high prices, as far as home defense any gun you can git your hand on quickly is often a deciding factor

I fine tune my 9mm loads to ease up on my vintage guns in my collection. I also load different weight and types of bullets, cast lead, copper plated and full metal jacket. Also the types of bullet base available, from flat to cone to hollow base are out there.... Just slinging factory ammo is missing half the enjoyment and costing twice as much.... I am now loading 9mm with a cast lead 95 grain 380 bullet under 16 grains of Triple Seven Black Powder substitute.... Try finding that in a store? Factory ammo in not as consistent as my loads.

She’s a beauty.

I just ordered one yesterday and saw your vid today. Looks like I made a good choice and I will use Gun Blaster (or similar aerosol gun cleaning product) to clean the hammer/firing pin before I take it out for the first shot. Every review that I read prior to making the purchase was very complimentary of the Patron.

The original Colts did not have a fixed firing pin.

I believe they make this in 9mm/357 now. Comes with 2 cylinders

The first generation had a set screw keeper for the base pin (cylinder pin) the second generation had the spring keeper like the model you have , no tool was required for field removal obviously. I personal don't think a more Beautiful gun was ever made with the fire case hardened receiver each one is a unique piece. I like the brass trigger guard model. At the bench rest with the gun firmly supported check the guns zero with a five shot group, some guys will file the front sight down IF it's shooting low . There also one thing you can do if it's shooting right or left that is checking the alignment of the forcing cone, there a ream tool that cleans up the angle and deviations. That's when the bullet leaves the cylinder it should pass straight through the forcing cone into the barrel lands& groves, if the bullet hits an out of alignment forcing cone it cause the bullet to fly crooked all the way through the barrel, it only takes a slight deviation to matter . There's a video showing the hole thing, before and after , target test, it's amazing how much straighter and better groups are .

“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed

Hopefully the maker is using a proper barrel diameter as 9mm is several thousands smaller than .38 spl.

the first click back on the hammer is the safety. it takes the pin off the cartridge...

Ya... Heck with .45 Colt.... It's much better from an economical standpoint to either start reloading or switch to a common caliber.... I'd go with .38/.357 over 9mm.... Rimless cartridges in a revolver are a pain... Even more so in a single action revolver because of the lack of moon clips.....

Floating firing pin helps to hit center of firing pin hole in frame for more positive ignition as on all the older S @W revolvers and Colt SSA Army

Don’t fan the hammer like that, it’s very hard on the parts and you eventually knock it out of timing. Honestly, those two cartridges you showed looked more like a timing problem than a firing pin problem, that firing pin doesn’t look like it has that much travel to hit completely off the primer, did you fan the hammer on those shots? It’s also quite possible that you did not pull the hammer completely back all the way, excessive oil or possibly a burr or gunpowder residue could knock the timing off just a little bit? That holster loop is to put over the hammer.

Don't dry fire any gun. Use snap caps or another brand of dummy round to protect your firing pin if you need to play around.

Hey, why not? I have a Ruger Blackhawk in 9mm. It’s interchangeable with.357 Magnum.

The uberti cattleman 2 comes with 2 cylinders, 9mm and .357/.38 special I guess it's made stronger for .357 so 9mm is fine just like you can fire .38 in a .357 but not vice-versa.

Beretta owns Uberti..not so sure that they own Pietta tho🤔

How does the free floating fireing pin prevent accidental firing?

Uberti cattleman is class of SSA clones, the El Patrone, is distinct Taylor fire arms sub classification for their marketing of the Uberti Cattleman that was made for them to sell under their name.

I recently purchased the same model. So far it hasn't had a single misfire, but I do notice a good bit of trigger slap. Enough to actually hurt a little, fingertip actually goes a bit numb. Have you experienced this? I'm wondering if it's caused by that floating firing pin safety in the hammer.

It's a nice compromise between availability and affordability. Would be nice if other cylinders in the 9mm family were made available, .380, .357, 9 mak. Possibly just one that used a moon clip for all the rimmless. Medusa on the cheap if you will.

where is the Link to buy this beauty?

Yup. The ammo price factor ruins it. .22, 9mm, maybe 223 for rifles, and generic birdshot is about it these days….

Am I wrong, or did Uberti fail to add bluing to the outside front of your chamber?!? It looks like raw steel as opposed to the rest of the cylinder-maybe it’s just my flawed eye sight. BTW -I have a bird head .45 Uberti with 4-1/2” barrel that I just LOVE. But you are so right about the cost of that ammo-if you can find it at all. All the best

I have the Uberti 1873 cattlemen; in .45 colt, with the color case hardened & blued 51/2 barrel; not sure if I would trade it for a genuine colt ? It is one of my favorite revolvers!

Cimarron makes a 357/38 1873 clone that comes with a 9mm conversion cylinder too. Still keeps the floating, hammer mounted firing pin. I rly want that revolver... 🤔 I heard that the Ruger Vaqueros in 357 with the 9mm cylinder, aren't so accurate with 9. But then again, I've seen videos that show 9 shooting fairly well and accurate so, eh. I think a lot of it depends on ammo selection. I load some cast 9mm projectiles from a handful of various different lead moulds and I bet some of those would prob be fairly accurate from your revolver. I really want a revolver chambered in 9mm, mainly so I can try resizing & reloading my 38 wadd cutters into 9's. (Prob can't load em flush with the case mouth but I'm sure they'd work fine seated to a standard 9mm OAL). I think it'd be too cool to shoot some heavy 148gr WCs from a 9mm revolver. I bet HBWCs would be crazy accurate in a 9mm revolver. I'd like to try a reverse HBWC's as well... now I'm getting carried away 🤣 Great video man and awesome revolver. Thanks for sharing it 👍

Just purchased 1 last night I thought I would give a try

I have a Ruger Blackhawk with a 45 Colt and 45 ACP cylinder. The ACP cartridges push against the frame after firing. By the time five rounds have gone off it's noticable and puts me off ever using the auto version except in emergency. Most 45 ACP revolvers have swing out cylinders and use moon clips. Moon clips are GREAT. Headspace revolvers are no fun, IMHO.

Great video…but your belt doesn’t “go thru here and here..” that smaller strip of leather loops over the hammer and acts as a retention device to keep the pistol in the holster while riding. 👍🏻

more companies should make the 9mm

Traditions and taylors and company make replicas. And if i never have to hear you say uberti or pieta again i will be content

What brand is that holster

Mabe little button leather band for a safety, wrap around hammer ya'...not bad idea'

That strikes me as a major "why?". Ammo price... after spending over half a grand on the gun? Short case?...38 Colt.

Well Italy made the best westerns. It's only fitting they make the best Colt SAA replicas. 9mm , yes please.

So, only three clicks of the hammer?

I wonder why it's so notoriously inaccurate. For the same $$ you can buy Blackhawk or Vaquero 357/9mm convertible and have 2 calibers in one firearm +it's American made handgun that comes with fantastic Ruger customer service and lifetime warranty. Buy American!!

Ruger and every major gun manufacturer does 9mm revolvers nowadays not too far fetched

I would hope that you now know that it is good for self-defense at 7:10 yards and they do make a 357 38 Special cylinder for that weapon

They are not the only manufacturer of a Colt Replica.Try a Standard Manufacturing SAA.They are the closest to a Colt you will ever find and more expensive than Uberti and the the quality is also better.

Dry fire maniac

It's numbered backward because it cycles in the other direction when fired.

Sold your glock 19... wtf??

I think single action revolver is still good for serious very emergency defense in a peace time since in a dangerous situation according to statistics you shoot 1 or 2 or 3 bullets and it is all over -- you are alive or death. Good thing about revolver is that you do not have to injected a cartage before shooting like in a pistol -- it is ready all time to be used as fast as you can and in emergency situation a split of secund can decide if you are a winer or looser/death/ ! A small pistol you can keep as back up if a battle take time /very rare...pistol is more for military / !! And you should to learn to shoot without aiming since in a very urgent situation when a split of secund decides all YOY HAVE NO TIME FOR AIMING-- but shoot from hip and do not talk ! !

Beretta/Benali does not own Pietta Firearms

I’d paint front site with FolkArt glow in the dark Rouge paint

45 Colt is affordable to shoot in higher volumes if you hand-load. .452 bullets are abundant. Buy brass in bulk, buy primers in bulk. Of course all my comments are not as relevant during or after the plandemic.

Forget about the box. Move on.

Make your own bullets. That’s the cheapest gun I shoot

For the cost of a Lee Turret press kit, under $200 you could be reloading 45 colt for one third the cost of store bought ammo and, make your own loads that work in your gun better as well..... Cut up your credit card and stop paying intrest,,,

Uberti Cattelman el patron..Not a wird name man... easy

Bizarre caliber for a single action saa?. Alot more economical to shoot and and very unique in that caliber. Just don't like the extra long cylinder to barrel gap for the round. That may explain the longer range accuracy.

Can you dry fire safely

Spain do lots of replicas, even cap and ball Colt Navies and Walkers.

So...did you sell "all" your replicas (how many did you have?) to avoid spending money on the original ammo? (And they are a lot...even not expensive.)and you bought yourself a revolver chambered for an automatic pistol cartridge that didn't even exist at the time? You could have refilled the cartridges, saving a lot. I think you're not that big of a fan, more like someone who likes to jump from topic to topic.
