What are the maximum loadings that these Uberti open tops can withstand?
Are they recommended to only be loaded with SASS loads under 1000 fps like the after market conversion cylinders or can they handle more?
If these utilize the same trigger spring and action parts as the C&B models which it looks like they might, then are they also susceptible to some of the same breakage problems and poor longevity?

If they are then IMO, they seem to still be a bit expensive after shipping and dealer transfer costs are factored in. On the other hand, they are quite handsome and do have a strong historical appeal.
