Uberti 1873 in .44-40 with Nickel finish and 7.5" barrel?

[ClemBert]

Curious to know if you've seen this animal around through any of the Uberti importers. I think they call it a Frontier because of the .44-40 chambering. I've seen plenty of .45 Colt but not .44-40. In particular I've seen the Taylor's imported version and the Cimarron imported version.

I know that they made one in .44 Special.

If you go to the Cimarron site you can filter by caliber.

Can't help you beyond that, the only Ubertis I've owned have been 45s.

Colt marked its .44-40 SAAs as the "Frontier Six Shooter" but the word "Frontier" in the name of a modern reproduction does not mean it is a .44-40.

Cimarron used to sell only (or primarily) Uberti cartridge revolvers but they started selling Pietta revolvers a few years back. Those were called "Frontier" models but now it seems they have slopped that title over to some of the Ubertis as well.

Thanks y'all but so far it looks like this critter doesn't exist. Looks like 45 Colt is going to be the caliber if it is to be nickel plated.

They have a Frontier, but it is an 1875 Remington reproduction and 5.5" barrel. The 7.5" nickel plated is an "Outlaw" by their current catalog, but my 1875 in 5.5" is stamped "Outlaw" and is 44-40...looks exactly like what they currently call a "Frontier".

 

[ClemBert]

Looking for a SAA style but the nickel plated 1875 Outlaw is a handsome firearm.

Sure it does. Call Cimarron and order one. They'll have it polished and plated stateside.

Had one of those, in 44-40. Bought it for cowboy shoots.
Nice looking but in sunlight the nickled front sight disappeared in the glare from the nickled barrel. I eventually sold it.

When I was shooting Stainless Vaqueros in CAS the front sight often disappeared in the glare of a sunny day.

Black Sharpie on the rear of the sight took care of that.
