A dang purdy single action.

Straitshot · January 15, 2023, 08:27 PM

I visited my LGS yesterday and saw this new Uberti. What turned me on to this revolver besides the charcoal bluing was it is the old model frame. It didn’t take me long to decide it needed to be in my modest single action collection. The external fit and finish on this revolver is the best Uberti I have owned and it will rivel most SAA revolvers currently being produced. The only current exception would be the new Standard Mfg. single action, but the Standard is three times the price of the Uberti. I don’t particularly like the fact that it is a three click, but I have ordered a hammer kit to change it to an original 4 click. It is in 45 Colt caliber.

I have three Uberti’s. All are .45 Colt and all are excellent, trouble free guns. Congrats on yours

If you still have the original box the proper base pin screw should be in there. It was in the box for mine.

That looks nice!

Very nice. The proper screw was in with mine too. That thumb screw just doesn't look right.

Straitshot · January 16, 2023, 12:48 PM

I have the proper screw. Just haven't changed it yet. Waiting for my hammer/trigger kit.

Radny97 · January 16, 2023, 03:56 PM

I have the same one. Love it

Very nice Colt clone.

Is it a conventional hammer with the firing pin on the hammer, or does it have one of those Uberti hammers that somehow incorporates a movable safety thingamabob? (Apologies for the technical terminology.)

Where are you getting the replacement 4-click hammer?

44caliberkid · January 16, 2023, 08:41 PM

I have 3 of them, two 5 1/2s and a 7 1/2. All 44 WCF. My newest Uberti is a Cimarron 1860 Richards conversion, in 44 Special.

All of them have a hammer mounted firing pin except the ones with transfer bars. Older ones have a wedge looking thing that you can see. Newer ones it's all internal.

Currently it has Uberti's new hammer with a retractable firing pin which makes it have 3 clicks. Original Colts have 4 clicks, so I ordered a hammer and trigger for the Uberti 4 click revolvers to swap out. I placed an order with Taylor's.

Thanks. I dislike those funky Uberti hammers. I'm glad to know you can get proper replacements.

I like! Enjoy (don't really need to say that do I?) .

Hawg · January 18, 2023, 11:56 PM

Mine has the old hammer block but it still has four clicks and the block isn't visible until you're loading or unloading.

Straitshot · January 24, 2023, 03:14 PM

My hammer and trigger came in and thankfully they were a perfect drop-in. I also changed out the hammer and bolt/trigger springs with Wolf springs. Timing remained good and now it runs very smooth with that original 4 click sound.

Interesting. Mine came with a longer cylinder pin. Inserting it further results in a blocked hammer. I got the normal cylinder pin that does not have that feature from Numrich.

I just cut the end off of mine.

oldbear1950 · January 28, 2023, 02:20 PM

I have an older Uberti EL PATRON in 45 colt, with the 4 clicks, and I love it. Truth is the EL PATRON has a larger frame than the colt, but it works the same way, load one skip a chamber, load 4 , full cock and lower the hammer on an empty chamber. My two grandpa's worked as city marshals in Oklahoma in the 1920's and knew some of the old time lawmen and always referred to their guns as 45 colts, and carried either old Winchester 73s or Marlins, in 44-40, and never felt out gunned

rodfac · January 29, 2023, 10:20 AM

That is truly a beauty, Strait...really like the color case-hardening...rivals Turnbull's I'd guess. A young friend here in KY has a Uberti 5-1/2" bbl'd one that's good for sub 3" groups at 25 yds, rested, and with a finish that rivals that one of yours. How's it shoot? Rod

Except Turnbull's is real case hardening.

Straitshot · January 29, 2023, 11:06 PM

First thing I do on all my Uberti's is swap the hammer and bolt/trigger springs with Wolf springs and cut off the cylinder pin so it fits correctly. Some of the higher end Uberti revolvers have lighter springs from the factory, i.e. the Evil Roy.

oldbear1950 · January 30, 2023, 12:50 PM

the Uberti EL PATRON comes with WOLFF SPRINGS, A TRIGGER JOB, and mine has the 4 clicks and the COLT type hammer. I do not know if the new ones are like that, but they advertise it as competition ready

Viper1357 · February 6, 2023, 12:52 AM

Beautiful single action you have there!
I have a similar model with the longer barrel. My camera/lighting can't actually capture the brighter blue of the barrel and cylinder very well. I'm so glad I bought it many years ago now. It's nice to see another one!

gnappi · February 10, 2023, 05:50 AM

I only have a few SAO revolvers and I enjoy shooting them a lot. That charcoal blue Uberti is one I'll have one day in my stable.

Have fun with it.

Straitshot · February 10, 2023, 08:02 PM

Viper1357, you have a very nice looking revolver, too. It looks to have the same retractable firing pin hammer that mine had. Yours also has the older black powder frame (a plus in my book). You have the 5 1/2" barrel and it looks unfired. Not sure how you could have had it for very long though since I think it has been only few years that Uberti has put that hammer on their revolers. Up until a few years ago they were all 4 click hammers. I guess I could be wrong but don't think so. You should shoot it. It is a hoot.

rclark · February 10, 2023, 09:13 PM

Viper1357, it doesn't look like it has got out much

. I don't see any holster wear for all those years

.

Nice revolvers guys! My Model P is hiding in the holster I carry it in.
