Forgot to ask: blued or stainless, traditional or Bisley grip frame, and regular or flattop configuration?

Blued with traditional grip frame and regular top.

I've already messaged Patrick Grashorn about the grips. Should be sweet! El Paso Saddlery is making me a Tom Threeperson's holster and gun belt for it as we speak. Have wanted a single action for years, the closest I ever got was my cap n' balls, since sold. Needless to say a Blackhawk should be MUCH less mess and fuss!!

The Uberti is a fine SAA reproduction, but the superior single action revolver is the Blackhawk. Better sights, stronger design, safer to carry 6 rounds in.

Sounds like the gun and the rig are going to be one fine looking outfit!

 

[Panzerschwein]

Thanks, gang! If Uberti offered their SAA with a .45 ACP conversion cylinder that would've made the choice much tougher!

 

[Armybrat]

Sounds like a fine outfit you are putting together!
My 50 year old Blackhawk has served me well since buying it new. Gifted it to my oldest son for his 50th birthday earlier this month.

Good choice! I own many handguns, and my Ruger SA's are my favorites. They shoot great and last forever.

You can get `em.

You can get `em.

Sounds like it's back to Square 1 with this new info!

 

[Panzerschwein]

Well don't the Ubertis have modern safeties and modifications to the original SAA? Something about a Swiss safety etc. etc.?

 

[LonesomePigeon]

I believe there are 4 types of safeties Uberti uses.
1. Two position cylinder pin.
2. Hammer block.
3. Retractable firing pin.
4. Transfer bar.
I have only one Uberti SAA replica, a new 2017 production Flattop Target .44-40 from Dixie Gun Works. It has both the two position cylinder pin and the hammer block safety.

I'm leery of the retractable firing pin but the rest are easy enough to ignore.
