Thank you sir! Cheape$t revolver I've bought to date!
Fantastic pictures of a really fine pistol. The Uberti copies are about as close to the real thing you will come without remortgaging your house. Now you need a 5 1/2" Artillery model as a complement to the Cavalry.

SPEEDGUNNER, I will give you my wife of 26 years' phone number. You need to convince her of that 5 1/2" 
Thanks!

I love those kind of revolvers, as I shoot SASS. A fine piece you have now.
What caliber did you get?

45 Colt, naturally!
Yes and yes. I shoot the 250 grain tru black powder,,,big boom,,,big smoke,,so I never win, but always have a great time.
Enjoy the new toy, and send many rounds down range.
Thank you,
Very nice. I have had two Colt manufacture SAAs, and let them both slip out of my grasp, so to speak. I now have a Uberti, and it is a nice revolver, but not as glamorous as yours!!!
Best Regards, Les

Did you replace the cylinder screw knob with a screw like the
originals had?

This came with the screw already in it. The knob was in the box.
Sounds good. I couldn't figure out whey they would go to
great lengths to replicate this 7th Calvary model, and then
install the modern round knob to hold the cylinder pin in place.
I guess public sentiment had something to do with it?

Even though I have a couple of Ruger Blackhawks I don't particularly favor single actions. But I'd snap up a Uberti like yours at the right price.

Purdy. Congrats.
I picked up my Cimarron in .32-20 yesterday. Some years back I had passed on buying a 7-1/2" USFA in .32-20 for $700 at a gun show - this was couple of years before USFA went under. Regretted it ever since and this is about as close as I can get without spending a mint.

I'm not a fan of the red stain that the Italians use on their single action grips, same as many other folks. You'd think by now they'd know that Americans don't care for that. I've been looking at some discussions on various forums on how to strip and refinish them to look more like American Black Walnut. I also don't care for the gold medallions on this gun but maybe they'll be okay if I can get the wood looking more like what I want.
Still waiting on the Cimarron Flat Top in .45 Colt.

After reading this thread I just ordered a Cimarron 1873 7th Cavalry.
That .32-20 looks mighty tempting also!
For years I've been threatening myself to buy a Colt SAA clone, so now I've done it. Some time back I had a Colt 3rd Gen. SAA in .44 Spl. Let it go in a trade and probably shouldn't have.
I'll try to give a report once my Cimarron arrives.
