I was just curious about it and decided to pass on it as I already have a nice Ruger 44 Mag. SBH 7.5 inch barrel. Found that one several years ago laying in the back of the used gun counter.
Well, the uberti may nit be the tank a ruger or virgina dragoon may be but would be a dandy candidate to make into a lughter weight “mountain gun”.
I had the .44 mag super blackhawk and currently have the overbuilt .44 mag virginia dragoons.. but they are neithger light nor handy.
Dragging all that weight around on the belt gets old after one exceeds 13 lustrum of age. Thus I picked up an old but reliable Herters .44 mag project pistol cheap, and started shaving weight off of it. Cut it to 4 5/8 , replaced the oversized steel grip frame with an aluminum Ruger blackhawk gripframe, and butchered rubber pachmeyers to fit.
I must dig it out, weigh it, and post photos. I am still doing a rust blue, and it is coming out rather nicely.
The Uberti even starts out light and can be made lighter for a good carry piece that handles factory .44 mag loads. It will easily handle anything except an angry grizz or hungry moose.
Or is it a hungry grizzly and an angry moose.?
I had a moose chase me once, something I would rather not repeat.
