    Yet. Look what some dolts have done to lever rifles.

    Assuredly not my idea of a single action revolver. It doesn't offend me but it's a 100% guarantee none of my money will be spent on one. If I wanted something in approximately 10mm, the 38-40 is as good, if not better choice. I wouldn't object to porting in a BIG bore revolver, if I owned one but, my 45 Colt does anything I need a big bore revolver for.

    Hi...
    Not a fan...nothing against the 10mm chamberings, just don't see the need for porting a SAA clone. It may even be sacrilegious...

    It’s about as dumb as bolting ivory stocks on a plastic gun.

    John Wayne would never have that in his holster ! To be clear porting has it place but this in not the place besides not being very useful or effective at doing anything in this application the way it's done on that barrel just looks horrible .
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

    Not my cup of tea but I won’t judge if someone else buys it.

    I own a number of Uberti SA revolvers but the one I would kick out of bed for eating crackers.

    Every person likes different things but that one is not one I would even take a second look at. Someone will buy it though. i much prefer my SA revolvers in more traditional calibers and would take my 45 Colt SAA over that one any day. The only holes I want in the barrels of my SA revolvers is the one that goes from the breech to the muzzle.

    There is a voice in my head that kinda likes it, in a "what if/science fiction/steampunk" kind of way. The forces at work in both gas and recoil operated systems were understood in the 1880's and 1890's, and the Peacemaker was by no means out of date in that period, so it's fun for me to ponder what some ahead-of-his-time Jules Verne might have potentially done with it.

    One of my "win the Lotto" projects. . . The "1913" in the M1913 Pictatinny rail does NOT actually have ANY association with the year 1913. . . but what if it did?

    I'd like to have Cylinder & Slide make one of their true-to-original, first-year-of-Colt-production replica 1911's, complete with the Blueing Of Awe and flame-tempered small parts - - built up on a light rail frame. The flashlight itself would either be a carbide miner's lamp with a thumb-operated flapper for the "off" switch, or it would be some big, cumbersome, lead/acid-powered thing with a bulb barely out of Edison's shop pumping out a whopping birthday candle-like 40-50 lumens. Then have the whole thing professionally aged like you see on some of the SASS revolvers. Make up your own story, like "Secret U.S. Army project for nighttime trench raids and clearing German dugout complexes." Next time I have 5-7 grand and nothing better to do with it. . .

    Uberti needs to implement a strict drug testing policy.

    That's a bridge too far for me. I dislike intensely porting of any sort, save on military rifles, and a ported SAA clone leaves me as cold as the chance of a date with Hilary Clinton.

    I am not offended by any weapon, if you like it, buy it, else get something else.

    And they're obnoxious. And while no beauty queens, they're miles better looking than that poor single action.

    To me, that’s dumber than a box of rocks. I like porting on a short barreled lightweight 12 gauge- and that’s it.
    Does the porting vastly increase the rapid fire capability of the single action? I hate nuzzle brakes and flash hiders as well.

    Well I hate the ports.....but a 10mm can be thought of as a 38-40 with a carbide sizing die option. Sorta better from a shooting and handloading sense, that is. Plus factory loads are more powerful and cheaper to boot.

    Now, I like Uberti pistols, and I like 10mm, but I dislike porting. I think if it would have had a non-ported 5" or less barrel on it, nicer wood, I maybe would have brought it home. Was priced at $579.

    But in the present configuration, it just seemed wrong.

    What do you fellas think?

    I think you should have bought it and had a real gunsmith (not some parts-changer) plug the porting holes
