Uberti

I had aa Uberti 1873 .45 Colt with 7.5" barrel. Very accurate, it would shoot possibles on the NRA B-8 target at 25 yards with one hand. I once fired an NRA 900 bullseye match with it and scored 89% with it. 801/900. I replaced the flat trigger spring with a Heine wire spring.

I have a Remington 1858 .44 C&B and its ia as accurate as any modern .38 spl I own. It is also very reliable. I have fired 500 shots with no misfires.

i have 2 cattlemen and 1 thunderer in 45 and i love em, very accurate for a gun with notch sights. i want to add the sheriffs model and another cattlemen in nickle finish :)
 
The only handling difference is that in a Ruger you load it with the hammer fully down, gate opens to unlock the cylinder. It's a faster and safer system than the Colt or closer clones such as the Ubertis/Piettas/etc.

It may be faster and safer and it's a tough lil pistol but it's nowhere near the feel of a Colt or Colt clone. There's just something about those four clicks as you pull the hammer back and the hammer mounted firing pin adds to the nostalgia. Mine's a Cimarron Uberti 44-40 with the black powder frame and bullseye ejector.

Uberti Hombre Safety

Jim March made the comment "you can't carry a Uberti 6 up." Funny the salesman that sold me a 45 Colt Hombre the other day told me the same thing. However, the Hombre has 3 safeties. 1) The cross pin for the cylinder pin acts as a safety when you push it in. 2) the hammer has a safety position, slightly back, but not at the half-cock postion, that keeps the firing pin out of contact with any round that might be in the cylinder and 3) when the hammer is cocked, there's a firing pin block that's not released until the trigger is pulled. Although the manual cautions about carrying the gun with a round under the hammer, it also explains the safeties. Close examination of the gun reveals them as well.
 
BTW, Uberti distributes their own firearms now, with an excellent marketing department. My Beretta Stampede was made by Uberti - it's stamped on the Barrel. My Uberti 1873 Cattleman Hombre was made by Stoeger - it's stamped on the barrel. Hard to keep up with who makes what, anymore.

One difference between Uberti-direct and Cimarron and Taylor's is Uberti's caliber offerings are more limited...and it's still claimed these others--or at least Cimarron--has a closer inspection/final finish say (and/or may do some on this side of the pond?). I'm very pleased with my ca 2008 Model P Cimarron .44 Sp.
 
Texas GP,
See Post 13.
Also, your Cattleman was not made by Stoeger. Stoeger is an import branch/stamp under the Beretta et al umbrella. Stoeger has no single-action revolver plant.
