Just Saturday I brought home my new Uberti Cattleman in 45 Colt with nitre bluing. After just a couple of days of watching oaters and shooting bad guys (with snap caps) I have observed noticeable wear in the bluing on the backstrap! I know that nitre bluing is somewhat fragile, but is such quick wear normal?
I've fired it only 10 times at the range. It shoots quite accurately and to point of aim. The action is tight and just was a little rough, but slicked up on it's own quite nicely. Overall I am quite taken with it, except for the nitre bluing. Is a touch up available for nitre blue or should I just let it age as it will?
