Uberti .44 Colt's Army revolver

[Hickok]

Just a heads up on a Uberti .44 cal. Colt Army that I own. Using a load of 30gr. FFG, paper/cardboard wad over powder, then some SPG lube between a .454 ball, the revolver shoots 5 inches above point of aim @ 25 yards and groups 6 shots into 3 inches consistantly from a rest. I am well satisfied with this, and don't plan to alter the front sight. 5 inches high is not too bad, as some Colt repro revolvers I own have been as high as 9 inches at 25 yds. and were fitted with a new taller front sights and filed down.

This Uberti looks so nice, I am going to leave the sights as is, and hold 6 o'clock like the old timers did. This revolver has a fit and finish that is beautiful, (cobalt blue, yes I know it wears quickly) and the timing and lock up is perfect.

I am well satisfied with this Uberti. The quality seems somewhat better than my Pietta's, but that is a personal opinion.

Sounds good!  But hey, you know the rules, if you're gonna tell us about a cool gun ya gotta show pics! 

I love the charcoal blue finish.  I've shot my conversions with that finish in close to 90 matches and the finish is holding up great!  Of course, mine are Navy so they have the brass gripframe.  I know charcoal blue will wear quickly with use on a steel backstrap, but that patina looks good as well.
