I want to order a new Cap 'n ball today...

[Ritchie]

Where do you guys get your Uberti's? I see Shooter's Choice has them, anywhere else?

A couple of other questions if I may:

Uberti v's Pietta, now don't yawn I'm not asking which is best! I see the 1860 Army from Uberti has a steel backstrap and Brass Triggerguard as the standard, and I believe it is cut for a stock. But I get the feeling that the Pietta version has either brass BS and TG not cut for stock or Steel BS and TG cut for stock.

Does any Pietta 1860 army have a Steel Backstrap and a Brass Triggerguard cut for stock? Or should I just pay the extra for an uberti?

Also what's the correct dia. conical bullet for the uberti .44 I've read it's chambered for .446 so a .450?

cheers.

Uberti seem to hold their value. 44 is 457 ball.

disagree, I prefer .454 ball - .457 is un-necessarily hard on the rammer. Any ball big enough to have a lead ring shave off it is acceptable. Some guns might be bored big enough to require .457, but I've not encountered such a gun - yet.

I'm pretty sure the Uberti Website says .454 for the Army, and .380 for their Navy model.
