Anybody have any thoughts on an Uberti .357

DEAR_JOHN's Avatar
It's a cheap knock off of the Colt single action army revolver. There were several youtube videos on the Uberti, and most were OK, but I've never heard of Uberti before.


Also, I know it's not a Colt and it's in .357, but it looks like it would be fun to shoot, especially with the actual Colt single action army revolver in .45 ACP being so expensive, mostly over $2000 compared with the Uberti being around $600.

I'd look into the Pietta line up. Tucotheratt (sp?) youtuber seems to like them better than most of the other brands. John, with a little practice I think you could become the next member of the tripple-shot club.

I wanted to go with the .44 magnum, but decided the .357 was the better way to go. Being this is an old west type of gun, I want to fire some shots one handed and the .44 is a little too much for that. I didn't want to go .45 LC as I already have plenty of .357 on hand. I realize the Colt SAA is the Cadillac while this is the Walmart version, but that's OK.

I like it, that barrel length looks good. .357 is a great choice, you can practice with .38s and put your foot on the gas if you need to.

For stopping anything, I'd use my 1911 (Vicky for those that have seen me mention her before)
12 gauge Remington 870 with 000 buckshot and / or 3" slugs for me...

I have one of these for home defense. G FORCE MKX3 GF 00, with 9 rounds of 3" double ought buckshot. I've taken it to the range a couple of times but had to use birdshot, because the kick from the buckshot, when the trigger was pulled rapidly, made it almost impossible to control.
