Nice story, imagine what is was like in north Texas (Comanche territory)
in June 1874, when the battle of adobe walls and several other murders
happened. You would have had to be pretty brave to go 150 miles south
of Dodge City into the heart of their territory. But that's where the buffs were.

Does anyone remember a TV show in the 70s with Andy Griffith called Salvage 1?  ...

I had completely forgotten about that show!

The uberti (cimarron) firing pin retaining pin hole in hammer is larger than a Colt and in the wrong (dimension wise) place than a Colt hammer.

You can make a cone shaped firing pin based on the cimarron (uberti) dimension if you have a lathe or you weld the tip of a uberti firing pin and reshape it ... you will have to open up the existing firing pin hole in the uberti frame a little.

I have done this on a ASM Hartford model to make it more authentic.. the ASM Hartford hammer firing pin retaining hole is different from a Colt as well.. so what I did was buy a Colt 1st gen hammer with a cone shaped firing pin in it and it was nearly a drop in fit... I can’t say a Colt 1st gen hammer will fit an uberti however.

I think it grand that Shatner got to go, just wish NASA had thought of it.   I am putting on a Nostradamus hat and forseeing that the governements will step in and curtail all of this siting public safety and the prevention of the Kessler effect (or syndrome, not sure on the name).

In the long run, that won't happen entirely. While governmental agencies can and do provide oversight of public entities, such as airlines, private aviation, and regulation of trains and trucks, etc. But, in a relatively free society, commercial and private enterprise cannot be completely curtailed or stagnation will occur. And if competing against other governments happens, e.g., China, Russia, ESA, etc., total control will wind up killing our economy!
