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.

Regards,
Froggie

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.

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.
