Toying with getting a new CCW. My carry pistol for a long while has been a .45 Uberti cattleman with a 4.75" barrel. Here recently I've been bitten by the "sheriff" model SSA clones bug.
The only experience I have with the little SSA clones was a ejectorless DROP DEAD Beautimus bone pack hardened 3.5" USFA in .45 Colt. A local shop had it, and the owner had labled the tag to read "USFA shop-keep". It was a special order that was never picked up. I dont remember how well it shot, because it was the first single action I ever fired......and I was barely big enough to hold it with both hands and still reach the hammer to cock it.
The LHSS Runnin iron looks like a perfect candidate but I know uberti have several 3.5s out there under different names through various importers. id really like a 44 special or 44-40 but no one shows the little sheriff models in anything but .357 and .45 colt. Since I already have other .45s and 45 colt dies...I figgure I'll go with one in .45
Anyone have/shoot one of these? how do they handle? Does the lower/wider hammer and wider trigger really make much difference?.....and of course, can you hit the broad side of a bandito with it?
