Uberti love
« on: February 13, 2021, 11:29:54 AM »
A little Uberti love...







A brand new Uberti 1873 clone. It’s known as the Cattleman Drifter. With a 5.5” octagonal barrel in .357 magnum.

I fell in love when I saw it and just had to have it as a companion to my Winchester 1873 (modern era) with the same chambering.

Nice gun, but did it come new with the scratches on the cylinder?

When you load it, do you have to change your name to 6Full?  :D

There’s no scratches on the cylinder. That’s just lighting in the third pic.

I was going to ask about the chambering since there were what look like 5.56 cases in the background...I just got a 5.5" El Patron .357 and love it. Only shot some cowboy level loads but it's more accurate than I was expecting for a fixed sight gun...

I'm a history buff and because of that have been called a "nit-picker" on occasion.  So I have a "nit" to pick.

Please don't refer to these as a "clone" of anything.  Colt, who has dibs on the "1873" when it comes to revolvers, never made their Model of 1873 with an octagonal barrel and not until early/mid 20th Century chambered in 357 Mag.

Enjoy your gun as it looks and in it's current chambering and more power to you.  But please, don't call it a "clone".  It's a single action revolver patterned after but not a copy of the original, the Colt Single Action Army.

OK, you all can yell at me now,
Dave

Picky picky. It’s a fantasy piece like a Uberti single action ‘Colt’ Lightning or Thunderer. I have a Thunderer. A nice revolver. Won it at a regional in Thurmont, Md.

DaveT, you and Coffinmaker are easy to annoy.  :)  Now, disregarding the barrel, I decided to look up "Clone" in Merriam-Webster.

Definition number 2 of the Noun version: "one that appears to be a copy of an original form"

and among the synonyms listed are:  "copy, dummy, dupe, duplicate, duplication, facsimile, imitation, mock, reduplication, replica, replication, reproduction."

so...
 :)
FWIW I prefer reproduction or replica. 
And I like octagonal barrels, thus my 4 '51 conversions.  ;D

 :)  Ha!!!

Not at all easy to annoy.  I happen to like my attitude.

Octagonal barrels are Geshund!!!!!

Clone just doesn’t cut the cheese.  I’d like to do bad things to the useless scribe who first uttered the term.  I prefer “REPLICANT “

A "REPLICANT" is what Agent Deckard hunts in "Blade Runner". ;D ;)

Howdy All,

I admit that I like the look and balance of and 1851, though I like the 1860 better. I love the 1873 as originally designed - a near perfect single action in concept. I further have to admit that I find an octagon barrel on a '73 is kind of like putting whitewalls on a new Corvette: an odd cosmetic modification with no real performance benefit.

Don't hate me for being a hide-bound traditionalist.
