I recently picked up this Uberti Callahan NM Target in .44 mag and I have to say that I am impressed with the little revolver. Finish is good, it has nice grips, the action has slicked up nicely from use, and it's accurate. Hard to beat for the price IMHO. Did I mention that it looks good? ![[Linked Image]](http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/MarkoR/P1010349.jpg) That is a good looking gun at that!

My beat up 40 year old, cost me next to nothing used, Uberti Cattleman is my favorite handgun to shoot.
Just like 25 years ago some guy was asking me why I would play that cheap Japanese Ibenetz guitar when I have good American guitars.
Just like someone asking me why I am using a Lee Collet die when I have a Redding S die.
You have to look beyond the cost, appearance, status, country of origin, etc, and be able to see what you are really getting.

Hey Gang,
I can attest that the finish levels on the Uberti line vary greatly. I got a good deal on a "Uberti 1873 Cattleman Hombre" NIB for $250. Although I'm happy with the apparent quality (I haven't been to the range with it yet), the finish is almost a Parkerized-like black. The stocks are nice, the action's tight and the fit looks good. For $250 (Tanner Sports has both .357 and .45LC available at this price), I'm happy with it, but I expected nicer bluing (GB photo made it hard to tell). The other side of the coin is that I don't have to baby this one. My two cents!

JJ You expected better bluing? For $250.00? Really?
