I'm looking to buy an Uberti SAA Cattleman 1873 Colt Clone, Is this a reliable and trusted gun maker? I see a 5.5in nickel plated and it costs more than the 7.5in nickel plated revolver, why is this? What does the 4.5 5.5 and 7.5in barrels mean? What would you prefer for a plinker, and why? My options are the lengths stated above and the finishes are: Case Hardened, Blue Matte, Antiqued, Stainless Steel and Nickel Plated. What are the pros and cons of some of these finishes? Thank you.
Yes Uberti makes nice guns. I own some guns made by Uberti, they are beautiful and functional. However they are not made as strong as Ruger single action revolvers. What this means is if you plan of shooting it a lot, like thousands of rounds a year then buy a Ruger. And this is especially true if you will be using any +P loads (factory hot rounds).
The 5.5 and 7.5 means 5 ½ inch barrel and 7 ½ in barrel. The shorter the barrel the faster it will be to draw and fire. The longer the barrel the longer sight plane which leads to better accuracy and you get a bit more power and velocity with a longer barrel.
So why did I buy a Uberti? I simply like the look of some of their guns and I bought more of their black powder guns than I did their cartridge guns. I did buy their Stallion 22 revolver and its ok. But its not near as sturdy as the Ruger single six 22 revolver.
So if you want a strong dependable .45 colt revolver I advise a Ruger. I’m into Cowboy action shooting and prefer the Rugers.
