That's great. Tell us how you like it once you get it.

I am sure that I will. I checked my ammo/components cabinet, and discovered that I have about 8 tins of CCI #10 caps, 4 tins of Remington #10, and the better part of an Italian can of #10's. Also, 2 jugs of Pyrodex P, 2 jugs of Triple-7 FFFG, 2 cans of Goex FFFG, and about 400 .375 round balls.

I checked before buying supplies to shoot this new one, but I guess that I am set for right now.

I didn't find a 4.5" at a reasonable price, but Dixie still has the 5.5" still on sale for $295. Just ordered one. You people are a bad influence.

That's what we are here for, sir.

You will like the 51/2" the loading leaver on the 41/2" is hard to load with out an extension.

44 Dave - I thought that was why they invented metal electrical conduit?

Honestly I am a little bit disappointed. It appears that Uberti's QC has slipped some. The brass was unevenly polished, in fact it looks like they didn't even try. At the same time, the barrel wedge had enough rough edges on it that while it came out easily enough, it would not re-seat due to the number of burrs. Yes, a little metal polish cleaned up the brass, and a few swipes with a needle file cleaned up the wedge, but this shouldn't be the case with a new gun. At the same time, their proof mark stampings are unevenly applied. Maybe this was a "Friday gun".

I agree you shouldn't have to do that on a new revolver. Sounds like they slipped a bit to me also.

That Avenging Angel is sick.
How can something that impractical look that cool?
