The uberti i handled in the store, the under barrel web (which is kind of the visual focal point) was a crudely cut piece having saw marks on the cut edge, and sharp edged. Now, maybe that's how they were back then, but given the nicely done polishing on the rest of the revolver, it made the web appear a hastily executed and tacky add-on. Sure, I could file the edges face clean and soften the sharp edges, but a blue job later - is it worth it? So, on to the back burner it goes.

Historically, the revolver interests me.

edit: and maybe that example was a dud, but haven't seen another in person to lay hands on


Love my Uberti Cattlemans (2 44-40, 2 357 Magnum, 1 45 Colt w/45 ACP conversion cylinder and my Uberti Buckhorn 44 Magnum w/44-40 conversion cylinder
