Why
BBQ Open Carry that too! That’s high class in every way! put away the Natural Light and bring the out the green IPA’s !I saw one at a pawn shop - the engraving looked nice but it was laser, not hand. I'd buy that just to have it for a BBQ gun. Very nice.
At my income level, that would be about the upper limit right now. As for Natty Light, I gave that garbage up decades ago. And IPAs are suitable for fertilizer. Plus, since I am highly unlikely to get invited to a Texas style BBQ any time soon, I'll stick with this one.BBQ Open Carry that too!

who said you can’t have your own BBQ and carry something nice! Wonder if BBQ-ing and Black powder gun is safe? hummmAt my income level, that would be about the upper limit right now.

NICE! never thought about like that!Well it is real engraving done by a laser.
I think, I’ma go ahead and try to find some money to buy this. It looks too nice. and possibly some hand engraving too.I'm wondering if they did a combination of both acid-etch and engraving to decorate it. Those deeper cuts were done with a graver.
No it ain't. I've had two done and another on the way. If you can afford to buy another gun, you can afford to have one you already own engraved.Engraving has become a lost art and only afforded by the rich now. $$$$
That's comical. In case you haven't noticed, everything has gone up. It went up before the current bout of inflation and then it went up more. The standard blued version is over $400. So $450 for a laser engraved gun with upgraded grips is a huge bargain.Plastic grips on a $900 revolver? dang!
even on sale for less than $500 the plastic grips ruin it.
Folks complain that ROA prices are crazy, but looks like Uberti is giving them some competition to see who can get the highest.
But seriously, thanks for sharing!
I have a bunch of the Pietta laser engraved guns, six if I remember right. Some of them are cut very shallow, like the blued 1851 below and my 1860. Others are cut very deep, almost to the point of resembling deep relief cut hand engraving. The three "silver" 1851's below are like this. Which is what the gun in the OP's link looks like. The two gold cylindered guns are a year apart and one is cut deeper than the other. They're also a good example of actual "cheap plastic grips". Worlds apart from the Uberti above.If you say so. I've never seen laser engraving that was cut that deep or clean.
IME laser engraving looks like bannockburn's here.
I didn’t think engraving was affordable, have to do some research. I pictured a old Eglishman in his leather smokes chipping away metal and having tea with milk as a break.No it ain't. I've had two done and another on the way. If you can afford to buy another gun, you can afford to have one you already own engraved.

Secondly, they're not just plastic grips. Uberti's imitation ivory is very nice. It has a visible grain structure not at all unlike TruIvory and UltraIvory. Which may cost upwards of $200 to have fitted. Most people would consider them to be a premium option and it's $200 to buy them outright.
Thirdly, their laser engraving is very well done and again, a nice upgrade for little cash outlay.

They mostly don't use hammer and chisel any more. They use air powered engraving tools. Picture a guy in Montana scratching away at guns all day and charging under $1000 for 75% coverage.I didn’t think engraving was affordable, have to do some research.
