When you have a sleek and powerful sports sedan with all the bells and whistles, and you add a Safety Puke, a stylist guru, an interior designer and a Parts Department Hack, with an Insurance Consultant, you get an AMC PACER.

Turn all those folks lose with a Single Action and you'll wind up with a 2 inch X 4 Inch X 8 inch piece of blu'd solid steel bar.

Gee, I dunno.  A steel bar is still pretty dangerous, better change it to rubber.

Better make it orange rubber with warning labels ("BEFORE USING THIS RUBBER BLOCK READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL!  CHOKING HAZARD!  DISPOSE OF PROPERLY!").

I think the story changes depending on who you talk to and when.  But the person there I deal with that seems to be on top of things the best sent me an email today stating "The old models will not ever have the new safety hammer."  That is encouraging to me, since I don't like the Pre-War frame anyway.  Of course, this could change in the future.  Good news is that the OMs still shipping are as they were.

Glad to hear that....
when planets align...do the deal !

Oops!! Waited too long, it's been recalled, safety defect small parts, choking hazard. Check the serial number and return to the factory for the updated version.

;) I trust her to be the one to get it right.

And if all that is correct I don't really care since I'm like Bryan, all I care for is the OM black powder frames anyway. That said I'm getting a couple new ones and some parts out of their current stock just in case.

I am glad to hear the Uberti Old Model P will remain true to the originals. I still want to get a pair of .44-40 and a pair of .32-20 so it's good to know Uberti will be an option.

I'm hoping it stays that way. While Pietta is not planning on making a change, choice of caliber is limited to three: 357 Mag, 44-40, and 45 Colt.

Greetings All,

Been reading about the changes in Uberti single actions discussed here in this thread.  Always thought having a Uberti Cattleman to enjoy would be great fun, but with a Ruger Vaquero in .45 Colt, just never really stopped to get one until reading here.  Well sometimes things do come to pass.  Found a brand new, Taylor and Co. Uberti Cattleman in .45 Colt with 7 1/2" barrel - a combination I have wanted for a long time.  My wonderful Wife blessed the purchase, so with the minister of finance approval the pic below is of the new single action.   4 Clicks, firing pin on hammer, barrel length that was desired - yep, I am a happy camper!!  It will be a little while till I get some time to head to the farm to try it out, but it makes a perfect stablemate to the Ruger Vaquero!

Thank God. The Old Model frames are definitely my favorite.
