Have one of these due in from Midway tomorrow. Looks like all it will need is to have the grips fitted and finished, the frame and cylinder polished and blued and the trigger guard polished. I will cold blue with Brownell's Oxpho, knowing full well the shortcomings of all cold blues. Will try to post a before and after. On sale at $250, the Uberti was still $50 more than the finished Piettas on sale at Cabela's, but I wanted the Uberti authenticity and the dovetailed front sight.
