Don't know the specs, but I was getting "cloverleaf" groups off hand at 35 feet. The other three Uberti .44-40s I own are almost as accurate.

Watched a pard shooting a pair of the 5 1\2 inchers in 45 Colt at our local NCOW's match yesterday, and noticed the difficulty he had with "showing" that the hammer was actually down on the empty chamber.
Thanks again,

I shoot the 5 1/2 version in .38.   Usualy takes at least one explanation at the loading table that you can't do the standard check to see only 5 loaded.  Some have suggested a dowel that can be slid down the barrell but most will watch me load and see that I know what I am doing and not give me any greif about it.

I just instruct the one manning the loading table to 'peek' around the front as I hold the bottom of the cylinder towards the firing line. Just enough to see the exposed lead slugs at the cylinder mouth.

Using the load one,  skip one , load 4 method....if he is paying attention , and HE should be ,else why is he there !
He should be assured only five are loaded and that the empty chamber is under the hammer.
I have the same issue with my Type 1's
when planets align...do the deal !
