My local Handgun guy

I own a Taylors & Company Uberti "SmokeWagon" .357 that is almost too much fun for someone my age. I recently had to replace a broken spring and Taylors took care of it within a week! Great gun. Great CS.

Real nice looking revolver.

[RanchRoper]

That would sure suit me fine. I found out my local Hardware store that is a Marlin and Winchester dealer, can also order Uberti and Pietta revolvers. In 45 Colt too. So, I emailed my restricted license guy and will upgrade my license. Is that a 5.5" barrel? I have a real nice cross draw holster for that size Colt or clone.

It's a great gun, RanchRoper. And, yes; it's a 5.5" barrel. They make them longer or shorter, but I liked the proportions of this one.

I can't help you with some of those brand names mentioned on the website in single action revolvers since I only owned SWEET Ruger single action revolvers in 45Long Colt, 357Magnum and several in 22lr/22wmr from the late 90's and on. I owned several sweet Smith and Wesson CF and RF d/a revolvers, a couple of sweet S&W RF pistols and a sweet Glock 9mm too.

My former Ruger 45Long Colt s/a revolver (It was a Blackhawk not a Vaquero.) and most of my former firearms were bought between 1998-2001.

My MT husband owned several 'custom made' single action revolvers in a few famous brands including Freedom Arms (Two of them in FA.) but most of his s/a revolvers were in the Ruger brand.

He LOVES the 45 caliber (45Long Colt and 45ACP) even though he ONLY Owns and Shoots some sweet 45acp pistols (Kimber and Glock) and one 9mm Glock pistol total in ALL of his handguns now. He plans on going to only 45acp for his ONLY pistol caliber as he continues to downsize.

The guys/gals who mentioned some of their firearms here will be able to help you.

Plus if you are going to compete with it in cowboy action shooting mainly due to your gun laws... sharing the same ammunition will be much easier for you in the long run.

Best wishes to you!

PS: I like Canada and I think that Canada has MORE going for it that what is going on in our own country. I have a close friend in Canada right now. She is close to my age. I used to know a bunch of good Canadian gun folks on some old, old forums too.

Thanks Cate. I looked at some nice SA revolvers in Cabelas on Friday. A couple of Ruger's, one was a Vaquero but not sure the other. Also a Uberti Cattleman 1873, but I don't like the 4 3/4" barrel. One of the Rugers had a 5 1/2" barrel and it looked much more balanced and "old west".

[RanchRoper]

I finally located a Uberti dealer in Canada with a good selection of revolvers at reasonable prices. They stock a real nice 1873 Cattleman with 7.5" barrel in 45 Colt. I would love to shoot that at our range...at least now I know where to purchase!

What's the favorite finish on your revolvers? Nickel, stainless, blued, etc? I was looking at a nickel plated Uberti with walnut grips that was pretty flashy.

I'm partial to blue, but that's not because it's any better or worse than the others. It's because I've come to think of it as more "authentic". It's a personal perspective and it actually might not even be more authentic. Nonetheless, I like my blued Henry's and my blued revolvers. A lot.

I am kind of partial to my Uberti Stallion with the color case hardened frame, blued barrel and cylinder, brass back strap and trigger guard.



I need a Cattleman model in .357 to go with it.

[Cofisher]

Damn! Thats pretty. I will be looking for a 357 some day...story of my life.

Thanks Sir,
This one is in .22, it is a ton of fun to shoot.

[RanchRoper]

Is that a 5 1/2" barrel?

[RanchRoper]

Check out the 8" octagon barrel on this Uberti 1858 Army in 45 Colt...

[PT7]

I can't decide which looks sharper, stainless or blued?
This SA-Western Ruger model is the Super Blackhawk in .44 Rem Mag. The barrel is 10.5", which is only 6" shorter than the barrel on my Henry SGC!! I'd say it would be a hoot to shoot.

I saw this on the Uberti website last night and REALLY like this...they call it the "old west" finish...1873 Cattleman.

[RetiredSeabee]

Is that a 5 1/2" barrel?

Yes sir it is. It balances very well.
The Stallion is a 7/8 scale gun so it is slightly smaller than a full sized revolver.

Thanks. It is certainly a sharp looking gun.

June 12th I'm taking the test to update my license from non-restricted (rifle) to include restricted (handgun). Then I can shoot both at the range. Wholesale Sports in Lethbridge (1 hour from home) carries Uberti Cattleman revolvers in stock. Some nice ones in. 45 Colt.
