Was so impressed with the 45 Colt Uberti that I dumped a striker-fired Sig 320 ("a gun comes in, a gun goes out") and picked up this Uberti El Patron in 357 Mag with a 4.75" barrel. "Grizzly Paws" edition, with the Army grips, allows for a terrific "purchase," as they say. Cleaned 'er up, and the fit, finish and CCH frame is very nice.
Need to dig into my manuals and see if I might finally have a good use for those pesky 110 gr XTP bullets I've been trying to solve for, not to mention some partial boxes of 125 and 140 gr XTPs.
Range report to come!
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: Uberti Companion for the 357 BBS!
Congrats on your second sharp-looking Grizzly! Very nice choice. Your Uberti collection is growing.
And this one really looks to be in the pink.

Re: Uberti Companion for the 357 BBS!
Beautiful revolver! Does it have the new Uberti hammer safety, or is it a four click COLT clone?

Re: Uberti Companion for the 357 BBS!
Haven't dug in that deeply yet. Is the new hammer safety visually identifiable in some way?CT_Shooter wrote:Beautiful revolver! Does it have the new Uberti hammer safety, or is it a four click COLT clone?

Re: Uberti Companion for the 357 BBS!
Somewhat. If you don't have the first click position, just the next three, it is the new hammer safety. In addition, the base pin will not have two notches, just one.ESquared wrote: Haven't dug in that deeply yet. Is the new hammer safety visually identifiable in some way?

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Uberti Companion for the 357 BBS!
I would like to add a birdshead gripped .357 to my collection to go with my .357 carbine. I have heard great things about the Uberti quality.
Your new .357 is beautiful.
