I bought an Uberti "Cattleman" .44 Magnum when they were inported by Iver Johnson, back around 1975. The frame of these guns were comparable to the Ruger Super Blackhawk in size, in fact, just out of curiosity I swapped cylinders and they did fit and function in crossed frames. (This was a night time "wonder if" type of thing and they were promptly restored to their proper frames without trying to fire them.) The Cattleman I had had fixed sights and brass trigger guard and backstrap. There was a little "dimple" in the butt for attaching a shoulder stock.
As to quality, I recently bought a Uberti .44 Special imported by Cimarron which is supposed to be made to Cimarron's specs and it does have a much better case coloring and trigger pull than other Uberti models I've seen. It's been hinted the case coloring is done by Doug Turnbull, but I've not seen that documented.
