Clearly a single-action assault revolver.

I really like the looks of it, and would like to get one just for the heck of it. From the photo, it looks to be about as big as I am—and fully loaded may weigh as much as I do-—LOL!

I have an High Standard 22 with a 9 1/2” barrel. Its fun to shoot but a pain to clean.

My uncle used to wear it while handling the cattle out in South Dakota. Mostly used it to shoot rattlesnakes.

No cattleman needs that.

According to Danny Glover (has-been actor and current community activist), this is just the thing for suppressing aboriginal peoples and slave revolts. I’ll take two, please.

Sweet!

MSRP $559. Probably around $800 by now, if even available.

Nice. But what would be really nice would be a large-capacity break-top auto-ejector.

Uberti makes a very faithful reproduction of the Colt 1873 SAA. 12 shot .22lr just might be a nice birthday present for my lovely wife. And a 357/38 version for me just to balance things out.
The lovely and deadly Mrs Tupelo has arthritis in her fingers and a 22 SA is about all she can shoot. But she is damn good with them.

Would be nice as 12 shot 22 MAG.

Here’s the New Pistol U.S. Marine Spec Ops Will Be Using in Combat
Jan. 18, 2013 5:00pm Becket Adams

U.S. Marine Corps special operators will soon be outfitted with the Colt M45 Close Quarters Combat Pistol, marking the first time in nearly 30 years that Colt pistols will accompany Marines into combat.

Here’s some recent footage of the pistol from the 2013 SHOT show:

Uberti builds a nice revolver. Planning on acquiring an 1873 cattleman this year. It fits my hand perfectly and feels great.

One could have serious fun plinking with that and especially since it's single action, .22LR, hardly any barrel climb to contend with :)
