Both Winchester and Uberti make the 1873 in 357 magnum and Uberti even makes it in 44 magnum.
But every time I see someone asking about loading "hot" 45 Colt loads they are told that the 1873's action won't handle anything over normal saami spec loads.
I can't imagine Uberti making a rifle they think comes even close to being unsafe, so what am I missing here. Why is everyone so concerned about the strength of these modern toggle link systems?
In all of the threads I have found on the subject, I can't find where anyone came to a solid conclusion, but thought I would try to start this discussion up again and hopefully learn something from it.
