Title: RV's are heavier than Ubertis, aren't they

Been looking at cowboy guns lately and noticed that RV's have a bit of heft while the imported clones (Uberti) seem kind of light. One single action, the new Taurus cowboy one, seemed very light.

RV = 43 oz.
Uberti = 35 oz. I think (whatever 2 lbs, 3 oz. comes to)

According to the Taurus 2005 catalog, the Gaucho weighs between 36.2 to 37.7 oz depending on barrel length and caliber.

Are you referring to the Original RV's or the New RV's? The NRV's are somewhat lighter than the ORV's. Caliber makes some difference too. The .357's are a little heavier than he .45's........Buck 8) ::) :-\ ;)

The RV and newer RVs might be heavier, but they are not even clones in my book, mere shadows in authenticity. I know, this is a Chevy vs. Ford debate, so I won't try to start one. :D
