Henry Rifle Forums

I had a chance to check out some revolvers today at a local store.
- Traditions Peacemaker by Pietta
- Uberti Cattleman 1873
- Uberti El Patron

The Pietta was the "Rawhide" entry level with walnut grips and a mat black finish. The Cattleman was stainless steel with walnut grips. The El Patron was blued, case hardened and checkered walnut grips.
I must say, fit and finish on the Ubertis was beautiful. It gave me a chance to see some variations in finishes too. That being said when the time comes to buy I will go with Uberti. A little more money but very good looking replicas. Colt or Remington copy is the big decision. Hmmmm...

The fit and finish on a Uberti is super. I like the case colored models. I have handled them and really like the feel of a well made single action but I talk myself out of one because I am not really a big hand gun fan. I shoot them pretty well but just prefer rifles. I once owned the complete set of Ruger's made in the Bicentennial year. I shot all of them and never gave it a second thought. I looked at some Beretta single actions that if I remember right they were Uberti's.

No pics ?? Really??

I've read that the SmokeWagon (that I own) is Taylors' version of the El Patron. It's a beautiful gun and fun to shoot.

I usually shoot both, my .357 Big Boy and my revolver, during each session, alternating five rounds with each gun. The revolver is really cool. So's the Henry.

Handling a Uberti in a shop was the reason it came home with me. I was just looking honest! But the salesman asked that question. Do you want to look at it?
I swear the gun infected me with a virus. I simply couldn't give it back.

Ya the Uberti sure felt good in the hand.

I've never handled an Uberti. All the guns I've looked at, I've never handled one.

I hate to say it, but my Ruger .22lr/.22mag is the only single action revolver I think I've ever owned. I have fired a few Colt SAA's and that's it.

I'll have to check one out next visit to the lgs.

I was impressed with the quality on the outside. If it shoots as good as it looks, it's a keeper.

Not too long ago Ruger WAS the best SA you could buy . I think Uberti made guns in my eyes make a far better gun . I sold all but 2 of my Ruger SA .

COOL, They are purty !!
