Jeff, I have one that is a Stoeger /Uberti. Check out your firing pin. Mine has a free floating firing pin and it wont protrude unless you have the trigger pulled all of the way back. Remove the cylinder and place your finger over the firing pin hole (inside of the frame) then with your other hand just pull the hammer back almost to the first click, ( dont let it lock) then ease it forward. Then try it while holding the trigger all the way back. I believe it is their new safety so that you can carry all 12 loaded chambers and not have to worry about something striking the hammer, should you drop it. If you play around with it you can also see the firing pin move just by pulling the trigger.
I checked and you're correct; this revolver has the Uberti retracting firing pin system. You can see the firing pin move forward as you lower the hammer with the trigger held to the rear. I'm still only carrying it with 11 though; I imagine it's safe or they wouldn't sell it but I'd be paranoid about crud or fouling getting into the hammer/firing pin and holding it forward.
@@jeffshootsstuff I have heard people complaining about the new three click hammers not being authentic but I never heard anyone mention the new firing pin safety feature( they probably didn't know it was there, LOL). So this must be the new norm on Ubertis now. I agree with you about still carrying on an empty chamber.
They are problematic, in the .45 colt and .357 clones people in fast draw and cowboy action are replacing those parts with fixed firing pins, because of all the misfires. I would get this one and if it fails just switch out with the new parts. Imported firearms must have these BS safetys on them, our government is always screwing up a good thing.
You got it! It prevents accidental discharge if the gun is dropped on the hammer or the hammer gets a hard blow as the pin can't reach the case. I'm confident enough to carry with all 12 loaded. The USA requires some form of safety on imported firearms is my understanding, and this one is unobtrusive.
Hi Jeff, nice vid ….thank you! I have this Uberti with a 4.75” barrel. Even with the shorter barrel, a very precise gun. I shoot the .22 Colibri Aguila with it (when I don't want too much noise on my property) up to HV ammo. The very fast ammunition like the Stinger is less suitable, because of the shorter barrel... maybe. I marked one chamber with red nailpolish….. sure you understand why 😉 One thing really bothered me and that was the play of the base pin in the frame and on the cylinder. I replaced the base pin with one from Pietta SA 1873. This one was a little bit thicker, 6.35 mm Pietta and 6.33 for Uberti. Now it’s okay. I think this revolver is really fantastic. At the shooting range I always start with this Uberti .22 and then with the .45 colt. Enjoy it a lot. Regards from Austria, Paul
Did the Pietta base pin fit without any rework? I too do not like the fitment of the factory base pin. Too much clearance. I've also been analyzing the cylinder for defects, since it feels like it is catching, hammer pull back force is not consistent. Please let me know your feedback.
I'm thinking about one of these to go with my EMF 357 and 45 Colt/45acp models. Both of mine are 4 click hammers with no safeties. It seems there were two different safety types but I cannot remember details now. My two are one each made by Pietta and Uberti. The Uberti has a smoother finish on the metal edges while the Pietta has a little sharper edges. The Pietta made one has a lighter trigger. Both are very well finished.
The two types of Uberti "safety hammers" are the older type with the metal piece just below the firing pin and the spring/plunger that move it between the hammer and frame at "safety" cock, and the new type with the rod connected to the trigger and the spring behind the retractable firing pin in the hammer. Both have their detractors and benefits. I'd prefer a standard SAA type hammer myself.
I have the exact same gun! Although for personal safety, I leave at least 2 chambers empty for my "cowboy load". I load one, skip three, then load 8 more, cock the hammer making sure there's light through the hole, ensuring an empty chamber, then ease the hammer onto the empty chamber. Afterwards, if you open the loading gate, you'll notice another empty chamber that you can slip another shell into, giving you a total of ten shots altogether, leaving 2 chambers empty for carrying safety. I've tried the method you suggested in the video before, but I always seem to end up with a live chamber every time.
I have this same Uberti. Loading 3 skipping 1 puts a round under the hammer on mine. Load 2 skipping 1 leaves the 12th chamber empty at least on my specimen. Because of the close synchronization of the timing perhaps Hickok's and others do great with the loading of 3? Oh welsky😂
While I love the 12-shot capacity, the reloading process would be terrible in a real life situation where you ever needed more than 12, though I realize that would be very rare.
It's ok, pal. They make 9mm handguns for self-defense. You can just have fun with this one and not worry about having to defend your life with it, unless you're insane of course.
PLEASE were i find a video showing a 45 colt and one of this uberti 22 12 shot colt, comparing the size and shapes ? I want see if is like the 45 one, because almost the 22 colts ou there are small frame and big grip this is ugly
What, has one on the flute area of cylinder? They should had made it with flutes between, i guess they wanted it to look like a average bigger size caliber. Disappointing, id rather it be a not fluted at all cylinder in this case
You can replace it with standard, non-safety SAA parts. You have to replace the trigger/sear and the hammer at a minimum. I'm not aware of any transfer-bar systems that will replace this.
I got one as a birthday gift. Most beautiful piece of shit ever made. Sent it back 4 times. Uberti/Stoeger, never fixed it. Kept sendin it back. Kept breakin down. Finally, last time I sent it back, they returned it, after beatin it with a file or somethin. Totally fuct up.
@@jeffshootsstuff it did. I was way disappointed. In the long run, I ended up with a henry golden boy. Due to Sportsman's warehouse bein honorable to their warranty, on that uberti.
Can't understand most of your meassage...your voice goes down to low at each sentence..anyone can shoot a pistol...not interested in watching you shoot a pistol...mention price in beginning of your video...
Can shoot as much as you want with .22 a very good reason to buy one. Very nice looking gun, I own a Ruger single six myself.
Good revolver! 3-screw or new model?
Congrats, beautiful revolver and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

I’ll check it out but hopefully this one doesn’t have the new retracting firing pin system. I’ve read they can be problematic

Just bought the 7-1/2 incher... they are pretty nice quality revolvers.
Sweet!
Beautiful pistol.
What a great pistol!
Thanks!
Uberti also has a 3.5" version for barrel racing training. That's the model I'm wanting
Does it have a shorter ejector rod housing? Cool.
@@jeffshootsstuff It appears to have a full length ejection rod. Sorry for the late reply. Only got your message today 😤
The website indicates only 5.5 and 7.5 barrels on the Cattleman 22LR 12-shot.

Yeah and the third type of safety is a double notch base pin that, when fully rearward, blocks the hammer from falling all the way.
Love a good 22.Want one.
Get one :)
Nice looking revolver
Thanks!
Plastic snap caps should be in your Christmas Stocking
Good idea
Yall know if they make this for 10 shot 22magnum?
I don’t see it on Uberti’s list of available SKUs for the Cattleman. Just .22LR

Hi, Who actually makes this gun Uberti or Taylor's & Company?
Uberti. Taylor’s is an importer.
Nice place to shoot.........very nice......
thanks!
Really nice
Thank you! Cheers!
I've got a USFA 12shot.
Very cool. Tragic what happened to that company.
Are you going to Cerakote the gun lock?

12 shots? Is that California legal?
Is anything? LOL

Yeah, SA revolvers definitely aren't for real gunfights anymore.
It's ok, pal. They make 9mm handguns for self-defense. You can just have fun with this one and not worry about having to defend your life with it, unless you're insane of course.
Yes as the average number of shots fired in a self-defense scenario is one or a couple or three shots.
Not sure what these beauties cost but certainly worth the investment.
Not too pricey. It was about $500 IIRC
PLEASE were i find a video showing a 45 colt and one of this uberti 22 12 shot colt, comparing the size and shapes ? I want see if is like the 45 one, because almost the 22 colts ou there are small frame and big grip this is ugly
These are the same frame and same size as the .45 version. Full size.
Price for uberti cattleman 22 pistol
Check gunbroker or wikiarms
Imagine stopping a mass shooting and then getting slapped with a felony because the revolver you used held 12 rounds of 22 LR.
It’s a crazy world for sure

neat
Woot
Heard that this was going to be a skin in Warframe.
Cool!
🤩😍🥰
Where can you get this??
Check Taylor’s and company and palmetto state armory for back in stock notices
I see that the firing pin is part of the hammer. Is that a potential problem for long term use?
This has the new Uberti retracting firing pin system. Not sure about the long term durability of it. We’ll see.
I got one as a birthday gift.

Too bad the cylinder doesn't pivot out like many 8-10 round 22lr revolvers

I'm not joking when I say I think it's illegal in New York State. Bruen!!
That sucks
Load 1 skip one
Wrong

A six shot SAA, yes. But not this one. Check out his video on this gun.
