Uberti Revolvers.......?

What is the consensus of these revolvers?
More so the Cattleman's in 44-40, 45 Colt or 44 Mag?

I have the 45Colt with the 7.5" barrel. Love it. Feels good in the hand and well built with the traditional 4 "colt" click and firing pin on the hammer. I shoot warm loads out of it and it doesn't feel harsh on the hand, rotating up instead of pushing back so much. I'd buy another.
 
They are a great value for the $. They are built to replicate original Colts, so not as durable as a Ruger Vaquero or such... but if you maintain them as needed they are awesome shooters.

I love the overall aesthetic with the case hardened marbelling and black barrel/cylinder.
 
I have quiet a few in 45 Colt and 357 caliper, they are excellent, well made and shoot tide groups, a 357 El Patrone has thousend's of rounds through it, its tide as when I bought it new, however if you want to shoot hot magnum loads, a Ruger might be the better choice. I just like the classic 3 screw frame and the 1873 feel that Uberti copied so well. I have many, and will buy more.

Cheers

Many many many through my Uberti Cattleman .45 Colt, all light loads plus a ton of BP loads. Other than needing to Loctite the screws it's been a great gun.

The grip is small (like the original) and I have big hands so with heavy loads (ie original BP loads) my pinky takes a heckuva beating, wrapped around the base. Ouch! I stick to Trail Boss and reduced BP loads, they are fine. And no, I won't consider new grips.
 
image.jpgimage.jpgI have a .45 lc , El Patron, 5.5 barrel. It shoots POI/POA and feels good. I believe the El Patron and the Cattleman are almost identical ,only th El Patron has a tuned up trigger and spring kit. The trigger is light and crisp. It's the first handgun I've owned so my experience is limited.:)

I have one and like others have said they are great value. It's acually had to believe that they don't cost more, they could probably sell for twice there price and still be a good buy.
 
i've sold a ton of them when i worked behind the counter, never had one come back, and had a lot of happy comments. They aren't the gun to load max loads in, but for a period feel and value for dollar, they are remarkably good. I currently have a cap and ball Walker and a remington new army, both shoot as well as a modern cartridge revolver if loaded carefully. Sooner or later i'll get a cartridge model...i'm not sure if i'm old enough yet to begin cowboy action shooting, i still have some dark hair in my beard.

That's OK, we don't mind young'uns joining in the fun. They are fun to watch because they are usually the fast ones.... :D
 
or Marstar for Pietta's.. Which is what I got, and are the same as uberti from what I've read (possibly same factory?)

But they pop up for a good price in the EE every now and then too

because some of them are undersized, and some of them are oversized, and it makes a big difference when you are loading for them. Some Rugers are as small as .449, and some older colts and Italian replicas can be .457 or more
