Good choice. Be a great utility gun with that finish.

Yeah, it took a while to think about that. But, just going to be a desert plinker/shooter. The tuned action is what sold me. Another fun gun to go with my Pietta and Henry's.

You'll love that tuned action. We have a couple of the Taylor tuned Colts, but, honestly, even the non-tuned versions we bought have very nice triggers.

Oh no I'm late to this party! Yep the tuned action Taylor Uberti are really good I have one in .45 Colt called the Running Iron with 3.5 inch barrel.

Now you can still get the Uberti with the old 4 click Colt action thru Cimarron.

Went today to start my beloved Ca waiting period on the Taylor. Man, have to say, that action is SMOOTH! Fit and finish are very good and gun looks WAY better in person than pictures. Another desert delight!
Also, I'll check this out when I get it home, but, the Taylor seems like it is a bit larger than my Pietta. That possible?

Are the grip frames the same size?

NCG, the grip frame does seem larger, almost Like Army grips, just not sure till I get them side by side. Already have a desert trip planned when I pick it up.
