I stopped to watch a cowboy action match years ago. One of the competitors came over and chatted with me for a few minutes, then told me they didn't allow spectators. I said, "Oh, I didn't know. I'll move on." He smiled and said, "No, you don't understand, you need to shoot." Pretty soon I was outfitted with a strangers 4 guns, leather, and ammo, shooting a stage. So fun, and great people. I have been wanting to get a rig and do some of that since.
Ha! That's awesome.
I love that story!!!
Legendary bro!
In the very opening you can see air between your trigger guard and frame that front screw is about to walk out. I’ve noticed that with all my single actions as well every once in a while you want to check the screws to make sure they’re not backing out. For the price it’s amazing the quality of gun you can get without having to wait years and pay out the ass for a colt. As Americans we all have a little cowboy in us.
I have a couple 357 ubertis.
You basically have to blue locktight every screw on the gun or it will just take itself apart. Otherwise, they're pretty great fun.
Makes sense. Considering this design is for a black powder .45 designed to stop a man in one shot. . While the .357 was designed to destroy engine blocks, and stop a vehicle in one shot. .
I’ve got a Cimmeron Model P in 357 magnum and like it. I mainly shoot 38 special in mine
Screws loosening on SAAs is fairly common. Thread locker is a good way to mitigate this issue. I actually use the Taylor’s version of your gun when I guide here in Colorado accept it’s in stainless and .45 Colt. My CC piece is an M&P Shield.
You’re right- that is a pretty revolver! I am getting my first Uberti 1873 revolver soon. Appreciate your observations on it and little history of SASS.
I have the cimorron frontier 45LC SSA with a 7.5 inch barrel. I love it 💞 it has the 4 clicks just like the colt SAA does.
I have a pair of Uberti's in .45 Colt and I love them. I would love to short stroke them eventually and then pick up a pair of .357 magnums from Taylor. My ultimate goal in SASS though is to load and shoot black powder so the speed isn't super crazy so it's mostly just my preference as a gun nut haha. Everyone I've brought to the range absolutely love shooting my cowboy guns.
Maybe add the Browning Hi-Power between the 1911 & the Glock.
Nice revolver, I already have single actions and double action 357s by a couple different mfg. The Uberti price wise in 45 LC would be my next purchase. Since I only shoot my cast lead in revolvers, cylinder throat dimensions vs. bore groove dia. would be my only concern as I've seen some foreign made revolvers where the cylinder throats were the same size as the groove dia. of the bore, not good but I've not heard of any bad things about the Uberti revolvers. Blue thread locker on the ejection rod screw, had to do that with my Ruger BH after I bought it back in the 80s it happens.
Beautiful. Love my Uberti 1873 Cattleman engraved. My son also has an 1873 Cattleman and loves it.
NICE!
Rest on your laurels after the one 75 yard shot. . . That was worth the Thumbs-Up button all by itself. (It is a wise man that knows when to walk away.)
I also liked not shooting groups. Consistently banging gongs at normal ranges shows that the combination of weapon and shooter are minute-of-bad-guy accurate. All you need to know.
Thanks, man.
Love the finish on those blued SAA's! Nice review! Might have to go and buy one!😊👍👍Despite the ejection rod issue. I own an old Great Western SAA (About 60 years old) and yep my ejection rod loosens up sometimes, so I can see that. I'm no expert at all but I'm sure it happens with other SAA's despite their make and manufacture 😏😌.
This is the most beautiful verizon of 1873 replika, love the color, love the barel lenght, overall look, improvments. I' m officialy envy. Enjoy!
Thanks, I agree.
Single action revolvers are just plain fun.
Bought a Taylor’s & Co 357 today and can’t wait to get out to shoot it tomorrow
nothing better than a s/a army and perhaps an 1873 rifle. so much fun.
That hammer pull, sooo crisp.
I have the same gun but in 45colt.
My 357 SA is the Cimarron Frontier.
My 45colt ejector rod came off also. 😆 blue lock tight all good now
Nice videos, always thoughtful and interesting, but the Beretta 92 preceded and was just as important in the scheme of things as the rest, If you consider military applications. However, the black powder revolvers made before 1873 were fine "Old West" firearms also. Maybe consider doing a review on one of them.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll consider it.
@@TheLateBoyScout Great. Thanks for the reply.
A drop or two of locktite on screws that back out due to recoil.a common thing. I'd say on all mechanisms.
Really tempted by the model P Junior.
I guess you might not personally be concerned about the ejection rod falling off but a cowboy action shooter in the heat of a match would be very concerned. I'm sure all that is needed is the loktite and all is well. Uberti makes an excellent gun for the sport. Rowdy Yates SASS #141. P.S. Count your rounds.
I used to have an old one when I was a bad boy out of 12 firearms this one was the arresting officers favorites 😂😂😂(been on the straight and narrow for 5 years now though)
Lateboyscout: you can only expect one longshot from this gun
Nobody:
Hickok45: *laughs in hickok45*
I have one in .357 and one in 44 spl... the .357 is a 7.5" barrel and a joy to shoot.. heavy for a Colt tho.. the 44 spl is 4 3/4" and perfect. both guns shoot extremely well and feel perfect .. both guns are gorgeous and better looking (to me) than 3rd gen Colt SAA.. I want four clicks. 5 rounds? 6? who cares right? plinking I load 6.. on the nightstand I only load five. Labor must be a lot cheaper in Italy cause the finish is extremely well polished... Also... all my Colts or clones? I want ONE PIECE grips.. the difference is...well.. the difference.
Great video
Really well done. Thank you
Love the finish.
As always very informative!
I don't has a SASS pro but I do have an Uberti in 44 mag. Great handgun.
I have the 45LC version of this, awesome revolver!
The ejection rod coming out wouldn't stop you from finishing the 5 already loaded.
Singles have revolver dependability.
You'd have been fine in a self defense situation.
Good video though.
YOU sir... Get a 'like'
I mean unless you happen to need more than 5 rds or 6
@@sgtfury0846 that's probably why it's in .357
Ok... you got to have a firing pin on the hammer. The hammer has to be color case hardened as does the frame. And yes.. this was a fun vid.
my favorite firearms to shoot. i have more fun shooting a single action revolver than a semi auto.
No short stroke kit exists for these pistols. It is a custom modification that gunsmiths that specialize in CAS. Uberti has offered this as a ready to go pistol out of the box.
The pistol still needs to be slicked up though.
Now you need to get a nice .357 lever gun to go with it. Nice review.
Oh, I've got one. :)
love it! it looks to me that the Uberti has a longer grip than the Rugers is that so? its a really cool looking pistol, what you need now is a leather holster and belt!
tradbowyer1975 false
Uberti does make a “Gun Fighter” version with the longer grip. Some importers call them a “Grizzly Paw” model.
My Pietta (Uberti made) has an 1860 Army gripframe and stocks; a tad thinner and longer than the 1873 grips. Your model may have the 1860 grips on it. I’ve never shot the ejector rod loose, but my first couple times I shot it, the cylinder pin backed out. There is a small indent on the cylinder pin, which, if not aligned correctly with the frame, will back out just from recoil. Nice review; thank you.
Nice gun and video, thanks
Honestly if the nyc laws were diff I’d buy one just to practice twirling it
Nothing beats a single action for some good clean fun. Awesome review, you might like to check out a review I have on my channel as well, thanks
The only way the glock is ground breaking to me is that you can't point or hip shoot it... unless that is the only gun you own. Take that old Uberti and you can hip shoot cans at 10 yards.
I love a good revolver, and the nice case hardening and bluing are a big plus in my book. The one thing that I question is how is the aiming when you have the hammer back? In the one photo you show, it looked to me like you would not be able to see the sights? I assume that was an optical illusion due to the position of the gun and camera, but still...
While I like the look of this gun, I would have to got to the gun store and compare it to the Ruger offerings to know for sure. I like these revolvers as a class just because. I might prefer a Glock 10mm or a Colt .45 government...but doesn't mean I don't love these. I am a lover of all revolvers, and make no excuses for that. I have not one experience with any revolvers other than from High Standard, Colt, Smith and Wesson, or Ruger. I have found that those I mentioned are all very high quality guns, and would trust my life to them. My first was the High Standard .357 and it was a very fine revolver, my only problem was it had fixed sights and did not shoot to point of aim. Then I bought a Smith and Wesson model 28 and I found it to be a great revolver, but since it was a six inch it was very heavy and I got tired of packing all that weight with out a Sam Brown type belt to help hold it up. The Colt was a borrowed .357 and it was fine--except it had a timing problem and spit lead out the sides. I then bought a Smith and Wesson model 19 .357 and it was the best of the bunch--extremely accurate out to 100 yards and was not too bad in the recoil with full loads of .357. My Rugers were all .22 or .22 magnum and worked like a champ and were extremely accurate as well. I must say that this all was during the seventies after I got out of the Army. Those of you familiar with High Standard may have already deduced that.
Nice video, nice gun. But since it's a PRO version, what difference is made on the internal parts to make it a PRO ?. I have 2 Uberti 5,5" in .45 LC I use for Cowboy action Shooting and I consider to buy 2 SASS PRO in 4,75" and .357 instead. But in a review I would like to know a little more about the difference between this and a standard Uberti 1873
Can anyone provide a link to a website where an owner of this S/A pistol can order a set of hand grips that look like the
grips Clint Eastwood had on his pistols in the Spaghetti Westerns? I believe they had a curled rattlesnake on them.
I have no experience with single action revolvers as far as how they're are different kinds of mechanics. If you could can you explain what you mean that the vaquero has a loading gate and this one dosent. I thought this one does too.
11:52 "It doesn't have the loading gate disengaging the cylinder like the Vaqueros... do."
I was pointing out that the cylinder on the Uberti disengages traditionally (two hammer clicks), while the Ruger cylinders disengage differently (by opening the loading gate).
@@TheLateBoyScout I appreciate the information.
Nice review I’m new to the Channel and also I’m a cowboy action shooter
Slick Sixguns Thanks for stopping by!
Great Video!!!
If you are ready to move this gun along let me know. I need this one.
Love this video, but I wish he would have gone into more detail about that ejector rod malfunction. Like, it flew off, but why? How could you fix it?
The screw holding the ejector rod housing in place had worked loose, that's all. Screws work loose sometimes, especially when you shoot a lot of .357, so I wasn't worried about it. I fixed it by degreasing the screw, applying some threadlocker, and reassembling it. All good now.
@@TheLateBoyScout Thanks for the reply! Good to know it was just a screw backing out. Nothing a little loctite can't fix.
What barrel length was this?
Since your not a SASS shooter or Cowboy Acton Shooter. I'm suprised you bought a compilation gun that is not that true to a SAA .
If you wanted a true SAA you should have bought a different Cattleman Uberti.
But either way good video
I'm sorry but that matters if I spend $800.00 on a gun matters. Thanks.😊😊🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Ok.. they make this tool called a screwdriver. it tightens and lossens screws. You need the Colt set. You need to tighten all the screws every time you clean the gun.. if you don't want to do that? put loctite on em. I never do tho
Real question is why were you using tracers
Streak Ammo. Cold tracers.
You say the gun is not a defensive weapon, just a fun gun/ hobby gun. Well, back in the old West, that certainly wasn’t the case. Sure, I suppose everyone wants to pick your video apart but if one practices enough with a single action, it’s as good as any other type of handgun.
I think that's largely true.
Is the cylinder removable ?
Yes
Hi, could you help me?
I am about to buy an Revolver Single Action 1873 5.5, 357/38 and I would like to know briefly which one I should buy / which one is better, among them Cimarron, Traditions, Pietta and Uberti, which one would have more quality and would not give me any problems. Thank you, I await the reply.
I don't have direct experience with Traditions or Pietta, but I like Cimarron and Uberti a lot.
The manufacturers are Uberti and Pietta. Companies like Cimarron and Taylor's and Co. just import and there is no difference between them. Pietta is regarded as a bit higher quality. Uberti has the biggest market share though.
@@tacticalcrusader3709 Hi. Could you say that a Revolver Taurus 82 is of a higher or lower quality than an 1873 cimarron ?.
@@hamergalil1263 Kind of two different animals. Taurus 82 is a copy of the S&W model 10 and is designed as a duty revolver. Ubertis are old west replicas designed for cowboy action shooting. Both Taurus and Uberti have had their quality issues over the years, but if I had to stake my life on a gun it would definitely be a Taurus, especially right now.
After over 40 years, over 500 Colts and clones of such I marvel at how manufacturers can make the slightest change slap on a new name and just keep selling the same gun over and over again at varied prices. I still have 32 Colts and Colt clones and cant tell one from another as far as accuracy, feel, or dependability, Ruger excluded they are much heavier and not true clones. Want to sell something? Slap a new name on an old product and it will be brand new again.
The hammer looks like a hacksaw cut the grooves,
Just so people know as far as I know the cowboy fast draw association CFDA don't allow short stroked guns..
13:31 "family shooting"?!?! lol
The nickel finished revolver would match my double barrel shotgun except for the grip.
Never buy your Uberti firearm from Cimarron. If you have a problem, like I did, Cimarron will not stand behind the product they sell because they did not manufacture the firearm. Uberti is in Italy. I have no idea if the other importers will simply shrug and tell you they didn't make the gun, like Cimarron did.
You don’t have to carry on an empty chamber to be safe. It won’t fire unless the hammer is pulled back and trigger pulled.
Uhhh....in a true Colt SA clone you do. You have the hammer pin resting directly on a primer. Even if you use the so called “safety notch” that is still dubious.
That would be true,if the revolver was equipped with a transfer bar..with a hammer mounted firing pin,the hammer can be bumped and cause the pin to strike the primer on a live round,if carried under the pin..
I would not trust the Safety notch either,but letting the pin down,between rounds is safe and a long forgotten method of carrying a hammer mounted single action fully loaded..
At some point (don't remember when) Uberti started using a safety mechanism that had a firing pin locking mechanism on the hammer mounted firing pin that keeps the pin from contacting the primer unless the hammer is cocked and the trigger held down. Very clever mechanism. Never tried one so I don't know about any downsides but does seem to make it safe running with 6.
These are comparable to steam trains.
They have character.
Great watch.
That fire ball from the cylinder tho...... ;-)
Single action revolvers are just....cool. And Glocks are great, they just look blocky to me.
Do you have a video on reason why people don't like the glock?
The short answer (my observations) is because a lot of people just don't like polymer framed guns. And even some that do, don't like the ergonomics of the Glock. Objectively speaking, the Glock is a great pistol.
Have 4 glocks, the sights suck, and the triggers are crappy. But, they run forever, and I shoot them well, after I put good sights on them.
The short reply is, Glocks are ugly. Real ugly. This 1873 is the Mona Lisa, the Glock is a 300 pound sweat hog of the Buffalo Sisters. But the Glock is pretty reliable.
Help me understand something about the American gun community please. The fact that we can own and shoot guns is protected by the 2nd amendment, paid for with American blood. In the particular case of this otherwise interesting video, celebrating cowboy culture and the American west is a celebration of American culture by Americans. So why do Americans actively enjoy a uniquely American right and celebrate a uniquely American ideal by buying a gun made somewhere else than America? The decline of American manufacturing is a big problem in so many ways, and yet so much of the American gun community contributes to this problem, while many of them very likely complain about our manufacturing decline, by buying foreign stuff. It sure ain't because the foreign stuff is that much better, or even better at all. I have 5 Rugers and 3 Henrys. There just aren't better guns for their intended purposes. And, if COVID weren't a thing, I could get in my car and drive to where they were made and have an American beer or an American whiskey with the person who made them. You say American guns are too expensive. Well I'm not sure that's always true, the Ruger American Rifle is a whole lot of rifle for the money. And if they do cost a little more, own one less gun. It just happens that I can afford 8 guns, I'd be just as happy (and safe) with 6 American guns. This same argument hold for ammo. And while I'm on this rant, the same holds for archery. So for god's sake buy American. If we don't buy American, it won't be long before we don't make anything at all except for hedge funds and real estate deals.
It will sound a lot better if you call it a firearm,it's only a weapon if you use it on someone just a thought
Single actions should be shot single handed, just to be historically correct.
That's the first thing I noticed too. He's shooting it like a semi auto shooter would do. Let the gun flip up with recoil as much as possible, let it ride, like all the old timers did. That is why Colt made the plow handle grip, to let it rotate upwards with every shot. It takes the sting out of the recoil. And great for fast single action recocking the hammer. As the gun comes back down, catch the hammer with your thumb.
before the glock u cnt forget the beretta 92
Honestly it' is a bit silly to shoot one of these in anything but 45 Colt. It takes away the authenticity.
lol, all this gun knowledge and shoot a single action with both hands...
