Maybe because I'm younger or not as stubborn. But getting riled up over a chambering is kinda redundant. Cimarron went through the troubles on getting uberti to make this conversion, choosing the .380 acp is a choice that makes the most sense. The only place in my area that sells .38 short colt is a local gun store, sure they sell other uberti firearms but they're all mostly in 45 colt or 38spl. (Common calibers), sure there's two in 32-20 and they've been there awhile. But having the new pistol in a readily available caliber is logical choice. Having to either; A. Buy the special ammo online and have it shipped to you, but you'll mostly have lots of surplus since buying bulk is cheaper online andI doubt you'll shoot it a ton. Or B. Having it .380 acp and buying the ammo locally since it's a common cartridge and not having to worry about surplus ammo. Now I dont shoot in sass or ncows, however, I can see this not being used as much for that. Also .380 could be made into a accept cartridge for ncows since .357 mag and other non old west cartridge seem to be used.Just because you're head stamp doesn't say ".38 short colt.", shouldn't be that much of a problem. I'm glad that theres a new replica made, sure its technically another open top but its different, would be nice if it had an ejector but oh well. So I'd say enjoy the firearm, they went through the trouble too bring it here.
