Nice Uberti. Can't say I like the pearl grips, though.
Remember what Patton said about them?

From what I’ve read, they both do great work.
To me the choice would be turn around time.
DF I'm not getting any younger and that's why I recently made a change with a lot of my gunsmithing. ex: getting my G21 back today from yesterday on some parts installs. Ive come to enjoy shooting more than waiting.

Come on guys, I can Google pictures of .45 SA's. Let's see some TARGETS! My favorite (at the moment) 45 Colt, that costs 1/3 the price of an FA- Very typical accuracy of the late model Uberti's. But, you'll enjoy your FA. 35WN Impressive. No 255's?

Damn fine shooting there, 35. Looks likes you got yourself a dandy there. FWIW I have excellent accuracy from several 45 Colts with the same MO Bullet slug you are using. These days I use the Lee 255 RNFP over 8.5 grains of Unversal for 950 fps from my Coltized New Vaquero. A cylinder full, plinked off with one hand from 50 yards. The revolver shoots way better than I do.

Engraved...pearls or ivories either one. Nickel or silver plate.

Nice guns fella's. I like the 7.5 inch models personally. Matt Dillon style.

I had several very fine S&W 45 Colts. I sold them as I decided I highly preferred the SAA’s solely.
I own Ruger Blackhawk’s & Super Blackhawk’s in 45 Colt. I own the Ruger Hunter & it will put its rounds into one ragged hole off the bench. The SAA’s are awesome handguns and should not be overlooked.
Some are plow handle & some are Bisley. I prefer the plow handle but they both have their place.

Here's my Ruger Old Vaquero. Talk about a beast. Strength equal to the Super Blackhawk. POA equals POI (regarding windage), which is always nice on a fix sighted gun. Elevation varies with load, but is generally right on.

Love that stubby Vaqiero, TRH. My favorite barrel length to boot.

Thanks. That was from when they came with color case hardened frames. Not sure if it was real or not, but it looks pretty good.

No target pictures, but I can dig the accuracy of some of the ubertis. I sure like this one.
