One's a Colt (circa 2005) and one's an Uberti (circa 2019). Uberti (at less than one-third the price) does a darn fine job of making Single Action Army revolvers. An ever so slight edge goes to the Colt in terms of refinement (e.g., real engraved hammer spur serrations rather than laser etched). But in function, I can't distinguish them. Both shoot dead on and have great actions.

Have you shoot the Uberti with the 45acp cylinder yet? Is it more accurate than the 45 Colt? I have a Ruger flat top convertible and 45acp cylinder is much more accurate. Wondered if it was the cartridge or just luck of the draw.

I traded for a .45 Colt/.45ACP Flat top convertible. The .45 Colt cylinder has been reamed out and they shoot pretty close to the same, at least for me.

Good looking pair. And nice to have options
Does Uberti offer anything like a bisley?

I think Uberti is one of the most exciting manufacturers out there. The VAST number of dead guns they have brought back to life is just amazing. Who would have thought you'd be able to just shoot the living crap out of a #3 Russian revolver guilt free? All the guns they have brought back to us shooters...they're the gift that just keeps on giving.
I think Uberti gives an awful lot of value for the dollar you spend. And their guns are just way more interesting than all the "new" stuff.
