Straightshot, I had to look it up (old receipts) and it turns out I had it coming on 5 years now, so not as long as I was thinking but still for a good while.
Yes on the BP frame being a plus, and yes still unfired. I had every intention to fire it when I bought it but after giving it a clean and wipe down lube, man that charcoal blue finish (screws too even though camera color didn't pick up) even brighter than my pics show, and the flawless high polished wood grips just twisted my thinking enough to display it more than shoot it. I'd never purposely purchased a "safe queen" non shooter, but evidently I somewhat did it with this beauty.

-Now that said, I had/have a number of other SAAs I was shooting regularly at the time, and then covid, ammo shortages, and several health issues the last couple years really cut down on most of my firearm shooting as well. Oddly enough this is my only '3 click' SAA, but if I cock the hammer back very slowly I can eke out a faint but noticeable '4th click sound' on full cock back.

I have a better camera now than when those pics were taken, hmmm I should take some updated better pics...

Lastly, yes I should shoot it, and I know it would definitely be a hoot!

Viper1357, is your revolver a Stoeger import? I ask because I guess Uberti was putting those hammers on some of the importers revolvers further back than I realized. I purchase mostly Cimarrons and they did not start putting the safety retractable firing pin on ther guns untill about a year ago. The ower of Cimarron had an argeement with Uberti to stay with the four click hammers on their firearms untill about a year ago. Now all their revolvers have the retractable firing pin also except for their 7th Cav. model and some of their higher end revolvers.

Beautiful six shooters.
Here’s one of mine.

Mine came about four years ago from Cimarron to my FFL. It's a three click with the longer cylinder pin.

Straightshot, The top of the barrel is stamped with Uberti and Stoeger so I assume that's what you are asking. I have a few different Cimarrons and an EMF Great Western, all having the four click hammers. This Uberti is my only retractable fp style three click hammer.

Viper1357, Yes, that is what I was referring to. Beretta Holdings bought out Uberti back in 2000. Stoeger, although a member of the same parent comany Beretta, is one of the importers of Uberti firearms like Cimarron and Taylor's & Co. I believe they all have both their name and Uberti roll marked on their respective firearm's barrel.

I agree with you about the "black powder"
frame. I have one, too, but mine is one of the Cimarron "Thunderer"s, and only has a 3 1/2" barrel.
I ordered an El Paso Saddlery belt and custom holster for it, and it carries very well.
Mine has a .45ACP spare cylinder, and I would be hard-put to like it more.
I am a handloader and cast my own bullets. You would be surprised finding out what 160 and 200 grain RNFP will do in that little gun, not to mention 255 grain SWCs.
Have fun,
Gene

I have never really looked at the Uberti's. No one local has them, but I'll make it a point to go find one soon !! That is a beautiful revolver !! I hope it serves you well, and gives you great enjoyment .
