RB,
Who was it actually sent to? I'm interested in who actually did the service work.

Mako,
I bought the gun from the local shop (Imbert & Smithers). They were very good about the situation. First they looked at it to see if it was something minor. Once they realized they could not fix it without parts they sent it back to Uberti. I saw the repair sheet and it looks like it went all the way back to Italy!!!
At least that sends the message that they need to fix this problem out of the factory.
And mine is a .38 special, so seems consistent with others.
I finally got out to the range with my 18 year old son this weekend. We were so anxious to try it out we started at 50 yards with sandbags to sight in, but it was so fun we started shooting standing. We went through 100 rounds in very short order, and we both had huge grins on our faces. It is a blast to shoot. I must say the action is like butter, very different from the way it originally came from factory. So I feel like I got a very well tuned gun. Though loading is still a bit tough, but at least it didn't break.
Oh yeah, on the last few shots we decided to finally sight in. About 5in pattern at 50 yards. Kinda windy. Seem reasonable?
