Them's pretty revolvers!...I gotta get me a digital camera..

I own several BP revolvers myself..currently have a Pietta Navy..a Pietta stainless Remington .44 clone..and a Navy Arms .44 Navy I bought battered and broken and fixed up. I've owned others too in brass and steel

This Third Model Dragoon is my first Uberti(excepting some Colt clone cartridge guns)..and I'm fairly impressed with its quality. It even has safety pins on the back end of the cylinder(I added pins to my Pietta Navy).

Of the Italian BP revolvers I've owned...the overall quality of most of them has been pretty poor..The stainless Pietta Rem clone being about the best I've had..the Pietta Remington being very good..considerably better made than it's same make Colt Navy brother.

I have high hopes for the rather large Uberti clone..really seems well done.

Think I'll order a box of .454 and .457 balls and just see what will cram into the cylinder plus preform well.
