I have the same gun in 45 Colt chambering. Does yours have the "Taylor Tuned" package? Without it, the Uberti SAA is a very good revolver; with it, the gun rises to a whole new level. I hope you will enjoy yours as much as I have mine.

no i didnt buy the Taylors Tuned model. I think its awesome as it is.Originally Posted by Green Frog
Congratulations! Nice looking revolver.
Due to the price of primers, warning shots will no longer be given!
That looks Great!
Many congrats, I never grow tired of looking at Uberti's and I'm even learning not gag when I see the new ones like yours that have the retracting firing pin (I have one too). Please let us know how it shoots. I like 8.5-9.0 grs. of Unique, Power Pistol or Herco in 44-40 my rifle.

I've also got the very same thing as you, but mine doesn't have the "T" on the grips. Purchased about 8 years ago, serial no. TC35xx. Beautiful revolver. I use 7.0 gr. of Unique and a 200 gr. CLRNFP.
what are you sizing ur cast bullets to?
what are you sizing your bullets to for this round sir?
.430"

Nice! A great looking wheel gun and you are going to love it! Let us know how she shoots!
.429" straight wheel weight metal.
That's a fine looking piece. Correct sizing depends on chamber throat diameters. Hopefully, the throats are just a .001 or so over groove diameter. Mine is happiest with boolits sized right at throat diameter. If I can push them in with my thumb, they're good. Sometimes, as with a certain Vaquero in my past, the throats were .425 and the groove diameter was .430 - not a happy combination. Never should have gotten out the door that way, but that's how they were dimensioned in the beginning. Hopefully a Taylor's specimen would be more carefully gone over.
If the chamber sizes, cylinder throat sizes and barrel diameter are all correct you will have a gem. I also had a couple of 44-40 Ruger Vaqueros. After giving up making them shoot, I bought a couple of 38-40 Uberties. All dimensions were correct and they shot accurately from the start. I wonder if I have bought 44-40 Uberties if I would not have had all the problems I had.
Harry, I've not had problems with mine. I'm shooting them with the Big Lube boolit and BP and sizing the boolits .430, just like my 44Mags.
