The good news to the high priced USFA guns?
Except for the cosmetics, yes there is
that , the 4 click Ubertis of recent manufacture are every bit the tool that the USFA guns were. And I say that having torn many of both apart and put them back together. The opinion is
not just an off hand, uneducated, comment. The Ubertis can be had for under $600 easy enough. Which is less than a Rodeo was and the Uberti is still a better looking gun for most than the matte black Rodeo. The nickel engraved guns above started as black matte Rodeos.

These days you can still buy the Uberti "Old Model" BP frame and get a 4 click gun, or buy the hammer and trigger and convert the 3 click guns back to the original Colt design, which is easy enough with Uberti's parts. I have some of both.
