Nice Uberti. Can't say I like the pearl grips, though.

Remember what Patton said about them?

"They're ivory ... Only a pimp from a New Orleans whorehouse would carry a pearl handled pistol."

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.

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.

That's some pretty good shooting SargeMO

Well, maybe I am a pimp! But definitely not from New Orleans!

To each his own, and while I respect Gen. Patton for his prowess as a military leader, I feel the same way about gaudy engraving, never really understood it.

Why, thank you.

Now that you mention it, I have moulds that drop bullets all around 255, but none exactly that weight!

Nice shooting, Sarge, and touche'.....

I like pimped out SAA's. 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.

Agreed on engraving.

Speaking of single action revolvers, here's a photo of a typical pistolero

LOL.

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.

Ooooo....very nice!

She's a beaut!
