k_dawg 0 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I picked up myself a little "xmas present for myself". It is a replica Colt 1873 chambered in 38-40/.357mag, 4 3/4" barrel, made by Uberti The overall build quality is excellent. [ I'm not an expert on old guns, so can not say how "authentic" it is ] The trigger is what astounded me. It is easily on par as a mid level 1911 [ i.e. Kimber, SA, etc ] I can see what they mean by the "balance" on this being just about perfect. The grip is alot different thou, have to get used to it. Just need to get some proper leather, and I'll be duking it out in the wild west.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnsrods 0 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Nice piece!!! They are dream to shoot, single action is so much fun. Now all you need is another single action, lever action rifle, and break action shotgun. Then you can shoot in SASS! Have fun with your new toy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 yeh I like single actions and DA/SA myself because of the accuracy. watch that you dont blow your foot off with it when you are twirling the thing around like wild bill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

383 Magnum 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 (edited) I'd like to see a range report when you get time. Sharp looking single. Great picture. Thanks BTW Uberti is actually quite authentic. Edited February 23, 2006 by 383 Magnum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 yeh, yours looks better than the factory? picture you posted. nice grips on there. how does it shoot? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hey that's purdy! Another big fan of single actions here. I have a Ruger .357 Blackhawk in stainless with 6.5" bbl and a Super Single Six Bicentennial .22 with 9.5" bbl. Both are just as sweet as can be. Hefty. Night and day difference from an auto.
