I have a couple questions about the 44 cal guns, perhaps a new thread would be in order, or it may fit here. Does Uberti make a 44 open top that does NOT accept 44 spl cases? Id be happy with a true 44 Russian chamber, all my dies and such would work, and the loads could be fired in my other 44 spl and mag guns if desired, but,...I have some Keith and other higher than the old factory level loads I use in a Smith 24 (think virtually all my 44 spl loads are slightly to very much above the original levels), and don't want it possible to even chamber 44 spl loads in the open top.
Not crazy about a gun marked 44 Colt, as it really isn't the original version and could cause confusion with inheriting family etc if/when I'm croaked and gone.
So, am I dreaming of the impossible, a true 44 Russian chambered open top?
Edit: Since I'm dreaming, is it possible to get a gun with steel Navy size grip frame? Not a fan of either brass grips straps or the 1860 grips.
