Great video, awe revolver. Three years ago when it became so hard to find 45 Colt ammo I bought a Lee loading kit and started loading and then reloading my 45 Colt cartridges. Then about 18 months ago it became very hard to find 45 Colt brass and Large pistol primers. But luckily for me when I started loading I had bought two cases of pistol primers and 4 bags of brass, and I'm still shooting off that brass. I really like your Uberti SAA 9mm, I like the idea of being able to shoot an old west gun with modern ammo that you can still find in the store that's not extremely over price. Thanks for sharing, nice revolver.
By the time you read this it might not matter, but TH-cam is taking a really long time to process the high-definition version of this video so it'll be at 360p for a while. In the future I might schedule it so that's already done.
I just ordered one yesterday and saw your vid today. Looks like I made a good choice and I will use Gun Blaster (or similar aerosol gun cleaning product) to clean the hammer/firing pin before I take it out for the first shot. Every review that I read prior to making the purchase was very complimentary of the Patron.
~12:05 The cylinders are numbered because in competition shooting sometimes you are only allowed 1 or 2 bullets, and so you want to shoot from the most accurate cylinder, and not all are created equal... Or so I've heard.
I've got an el patron in 45 long colt and love it, I've been reloading for 40yrs, I reload for all handguns and rifles I have. Like u got tired of the lack of ammo and the high prices, as far as home defense any gun you can git your hand on quickly is often a deciding factor
I would consider the procedure of slugging the barrel with a soft lead ball of the initial diameter of a little over 0.357". This should return the actual bore (groove) diameter. If it is 0.357", standard 9x19 ammo may not provide the best accuracy. Anyway, the barrels of such revolvers are of traditional design - cut rifling, no special treatment like chromium or cyanide (nitriding or carbonitriding) AFAIK, they are not even known for particularly good steel. My gunsmith / gunshop owner warned me against shooting a lot of jacketed ammo through similar revolvers. They are best suited to ammo with hard cast lead bullets. Polymer coating is good with them. So the best options are either reloading or finding polymer coated lead bullet ammo on the market.
I would imagine that would recoil more then your typical 9MM handgun. At least you would feel it more due to the fact you don't have the slide absorbing that energy. Then again what you feel typically is the mass of the slide so maybe it just balances out.
Hard to get me excited about the Italian SA guns. But the 9mm chambering is very practical. And yours is truly good looking. I may have to track one down. Great review
The leather string on the holster at 21:10 is to be put over the hammer to keep the revolver from falling out of the holster while walking or while riding a horse.
The first generation had a set screw keeper for the base pin (cylinder pin) the second generation had the spring keeper like the model you have , no tool was required for field removal obviously. I personal don't think a more Beautiful gun was ever made with the fire case hardened receiver each one is a unique piece. I like the brass trigger guard model. At the bench rest with the gun firmly supported check the guns zero with a five shot group, some guys will file the front sight down IF it's shooting low . There also one thing you can do if it's shooting right or left that is checking the alignment of the forcing cone, there a ream tool that cleans up the angle and deviations. That's when the bullet leaves the cylinder it should pass straight through the forcing cone into the barrel lands& groves, if the bullet hits an out of alignment forcing cone it cause the bullet to fly crooked all the way through the barrel, it only takes a slight deviation to matter . There's a video showing the hole thing, before and after , target test, it's amazing how much straighter and better groups are .
I fine tune my 9mm loads to ease up on my vintage guns in my collection. I also load different weight and types of bullets, cast lead, copper plated and full metal jacket. Also the types of bullet base available, from flat to cone to hollow base are out there.... Just slinging factory ammo is missing half the enjoyment and costing twice as much.... I am now loading 9mm with a cast lead 95 grain 380 bullet under 16 grains of Triple Seven Black Powder substitute.... Try finding that in a store? Factory ammo in not as consistent as my loads.
I was wondering about BP in a 9mm for this gun. I saw some videos awhile back of a guy trying to shoot BP 9mm in a semi-auto.. I think he eventually got it to work fairly reliably after some trial and error. But BP 9mm in a SAA should work just fine. I'm surprised you can get 16 grains in a 9mm case! Definitely trying this when I get this gun.
There’s nothing plastic on that revolver. Uberti and Pietta make the nicest, (affordable/traditional) Colt replicas on the market. Both companies chambering these in 9mm was a smart move.
Wrong..The grips on Uberti is plastic so you can't say that.I have a El Patron and a Cattleman.I also have the Standard Manufacturing SAA and the quality is better than Uberti and as close to a true Colt you will get but don't get me wrong Uberti is a great wheel gun and I still shoot them.
@@deanmiller6177 I thought they were hard rubber. Standard Manufacturing SAAs are beautiful but start around 2 grand after taxes. Pietta’s and Uberti’s are a bit more affordable and function just fine.
@@Daniel-yf9iy Standard Manufacturing SAA are 100 percent American made also and not made overseas.I support buy American and I have nothing against Uberti but I prefer American made first.
@The Even Steven Channel yeah it's just to secure your gun. I have the same gun. And I absolutely would use it for self-defense. Many times I will carry a Glock and a single-action revolver. I'm just old school. I'm not looking to go to war, just defense myself and my family:)
I recently purchased the same model. So far it hasn't had a single misfire, but I do notice a good bit of trigger slap. Enough to actually hurt a little, fingertip actually goes a bit numb. Have you experienced this? I'm wondering if it's caused by that floating firing pin safety in the hammer.
I have the Uberti 1873 cattlemen; in .45 colt, with the color case hardened & blued 51/2 barrel; not sure if I would trade it for a genuine colt ? It is one of my favorite revolvers!
I would trade it for an original colt in a heartbeat as the Colts are worth up to and beyond more than 4 times the price of the uberti. You could buy more uberti then 😂
Ya... Heck with .45 Colt.... It's much better from an economical standpoint to either start reloading or switch to a common caliber.... I'd go with .38/.357 over 9mm.... Rimless cartridges in a revolver are a pain... Even more so in a single action revolver because of the lack of moon clips.....
The cylinder chambers are milled so that the 9mm cartridges headspace on the leading edge of the case. Moonclips not usable on a gate loading revolver but not needed either.
Uberti cattleman is class of SSA clones, the El Patrone, is distinct Taylor fire arms sub classification for their marketing of the Uberti Cattleman that was made for them to sell under their name.
“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed
It's a nice compromise between availability and affordability. Would be nice if other cylinders in the 9mm family were made available, .380, .357, 9 mak. Possibly just one that used a moon clip for all the rimmless. Medusa on the cheap if you will.
Cimarron makes a 357/38 1873 clone that comes with a 9mm conversion cylinder too. Still keeps the floating, hammer mounted firing pin. I rly want that revolver... 🤔 I heard that the Ruger Vaqueros in 357 with the 9mm cylinder, aren't so accurate with 9. But then again, I've seen videos that show 9 shooting fairly well and accurate so, eh. I think a lot of it depends on ammo selection. I load some cast 9mm projectiles from a handful of various different lead moulds and I bet some of those would prob be fairly accurate from your revolver. I really want a revolver chambered in 9mm, mainly so I can try resizing & reloading my 38 wadd cutters into 9's. (Prob can't load em flush with the case mouth but I'm sure they'd work fine seated to a standard 9mm OAL). I think it'd be too cool to shoot some heavy 148gr WCs from a 9mm revolver. I bet HBWCs would be crazy accurate in a 9mm revolver. I'd like to try a reverse HBWC's as well... now I'm getting carried away 🤣 Great video man and awesome revolver. Thanks for sharing it 👍
Sure. When the revolver has a fixed firing pin, which the original Colt 1873 had, you can smack the back of the hammer when the hammer is forward and it can go off. If the firing pin is free floating then it's less likely for that to happen.
A free floating firing pin does not prevent accidental firing. I didn't see anything free floating about that firing pin. Even if it was free floating that wouldn't matter if there wasn't a transfer bar safety. If there is no transfer bar safety, always lower the hammer on an empty chamber for carry. Load five shots only. In cowboy action shooting you are only allowed to load 5 shots.
The uberti cattleman 2 comes with 2 cylinders, 9mm and .357/.38 special I guess it's made stronger for .357 so 9mm is fine just like you can fire .38 in a .357 but not vice-versa.
Am I wrong, or did Uberti fail to add bluing to the outside front of your chamber?!? It looks like raw steel as opposed to the rest of the cylinder-maybe it’s just my flawed eye sight. BTW -I have a bird head .45 Uberti with 4-1/2” barrel that I just LOVE. But you are so right about the cost of that ammo-if you can find it at all. All the best
I have a Ruger Blackhawk with a 45 Colt and 45 ACP cylinder. The ACP cartridges push against the frame after firing. By the time five rounds have gone off it's noticable and puts me off ever using the auto version except in emergency. Most 45 ACP revolvers have swing out cylinders and use moon clips. Moon clips are GREAT. Headspace revolvers are no fun, IMHO.
I don't know if TH-cam is going to let me show this Amazon link, but it's www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X93X27J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title "Leather Gun Holster for .38 Caliber and .357 Caliber Revolvers (Right Handed) Smooth Brown"
Great video…but your belt doesn’t “go thru here and here..” that smaller strip of leather loops over the hammer and acts as a retention device to keep the pistol in the holster while riding. 👍🏻
I wonder why it's so notoriously inaccurate. For the same $$ you can buy Blackhawk or Vaquero 357/9mm convertible and have 2 calibers in one firearm +it's American made handgun that comes with fantastic Ruger customer service and lifetime warranty. Buy American!!
They are not the only manufacturer of a Colt Replica.Try a Standard Manufacturing SAA.They are the closest to a Colt you will ever find and more expensive than Uberti and the the quality is also better.
No, that's a dedicated 9mm barrel and should be more accurate. You can should 9mm through a 357 barrel but you can't shoot 357/38 through a 9mm barrel because the 9mm barrel is smaller and too tight. A 9mm bullet barley grazes the sides of a 357. barrel. A 9mm bullet shot through a 357 is not tracible through law enforcement ballistics for this reason.
45 Colt is affordable to shoot in higher volumes if you hand-load. .452 bullets are abundant. Buy brass in bulk, buy primers in bulk. Of course all my comments are not as relevant during or after the plandemic.
I think single action revolver is still good for serious very emergency defense in a peace time since in a dangerous situation according to statistics you shoot 1 or 2 or 3 bullets and it is all over -- you are alive or death. Good thing about revolver is that you do not have to injected a cartage before shooting like in a pistol -- it is ready all time to be used as fast as you can and in emergency situation a split of secund can decide if you are a winer or looser/death/ ! A small pistol you can keep as back up if a battle take time /very rare...pistol is more for military / !! And you should to learn to shoot without aiming since in a very urgent situation when a split of secund decides all YOY HAVE NO TIME FOR AIMING-- but shoot from hip and do not talk ! !
Bizarre caliber for a single action saa?. Alot more economical to shoot and and very unique in that caliber. Just don't like the extra long cylinder to barrel gap for the round. That may explain the longer range accuracy.
For the cost of a Lee Turret press kit, under $200 you could be reloading 45 colt for one third the cost of store bought ammo and, make your own loads that work in your gun better as well..... Cut up your credit card and stop paying intrest,,,
Why not? I sold all my glocks to finance my 1911 and browning hi power when i decided glocks werent my thing. Nobody's gonna be excited to inherit grandpa's glock. Something like this, however....
I would hope so, because I've been doing it a bunch. In general, you can dry fire any center fire handgun. In rimfire guns people don't like to do that because over time you may damage the firing pin or chamber. That being said, I've never seen dry firing a gun damage anything so bad it stopped working.
I love this gun as well. The cowboy load starts on six skips 5 and goes backwards for the other 4. 5 is where you keep your money roll. Most gamblers kept their money roll in the cylinder, since it's the closest to their person. Also to explain the the 9 mm cartridge sticking out. Yeah 1873 models are rimfire, and the 9 mm cartridges a centerfire and therefore the lip will stand out they had to make it that way. You'll see forty-fives and other cartridges at that time or rimfire only. If you want to go further and range the distance to be more accurate, Mount down on a gun stand in fire and you'll find out that it's more in your hand making grouping less. You'll see that the gun is so accurate you'll be beside yourself. From the looks of your front sight to your rear notches, looks like you'll benefit from pumpkin on a post type shooting. Which means our French site should be a quarter or a millimeter above the rear sites. Holding that trigger down at full cock is exactly what Alec Baldwin did on the movie Rust. Hence why his went off after he released the hammer.
So...did you sell "all" your replicas (how many did you have?) to avoid spending money on the original ammo? (And they are a lot...even not expensive.)and you bought yourself a revolver chambered for an automatic pistol cartridge that didn't even exist at the time? You could have refilled the cartridges, saving a lot. I think you're not that big of a fan, more like someone who likes to jump from topic to topic.

Floating firing pin helps to hit center of firing pin hole in frame for more positive ignition as on all the older S @W revolvers and Colt SSA Army
The leather string on the holster at 21:10 is to be put over the hammer to keep the revolver from falling out of the holster while walking or while riding a horse.
Hammer thong is to keep the hammer from being accidentally cocked.
Also, it keeps people from jerking your pistol out of your holster while you're walking around.

Don't dry fire any gun. Use snap caps or another brand of dummy round to protect your firing pin if you need to play around.

Bizarre caliber for a single action saa?. Alot more economical to shoot and and very unique in that caliber. Just don't like the extra long cylinder to barrel gap for the round. That may explain the longer range accuracy.
Beretta/Benali does not own Pietta Firearms
My understanding is that Pietta is owned by Benelli and Benelli is owned by Beretta.
Yes, Beretta owns Pietta and Uberti as well as many others
Pietta is still a family owned business, and owns EMF in the US.
For the cost of a Lee Turret press kit, under $200 you could be reloading 45 colt for one third the cost of store bought ammo and, make your own loads that work in your gun better as well.....
Cut up your credit card and stop paying intrest,,,
Sold your glock 19... wtf??
Why not? I sold all my glocks to finance my 1911 and browning hi power when i decided glocks werent my thing. Nobody's gonna be excited to inherit grandpa's glock. Something like this, however....
Forget about the box. Move on.
Can you dry fire safely
I would hope so, because I've been doing it a bunch. In general, you can dry fire any center fire handgun. In rimfire guns people don't like to do that because over time you may damage the firing pin or chamber. That being said, I've never seen dry firing a gun damage anything so bad it stopped working.
@@theevenstevenchannel8220 thank you
Generally it isn’t recommended. Snap caps are available.
Fanning is detrimental to the spring
I love this gun as well. The cowboy load starts on six skips 5 and goes backwards for the other 4. 5 is where you keep your money roll. Most gamblers kept their money roll in the cylinder, since it's the closest to their person. Also to explain the the 9 mm cartridge sticking out. Yeah 1873 models are rimfire, and the 9 mm cartridges a centerfire and therefore the lip will stand out they had to make it that way. You'll see forty-fives and other cartridges at that time or rimfire only. If you want to go further and range the distance to be more accurate, Mount down on a gun stand in fire and you'll find out that it's more in your hand making grouping less. You'll see that the gun is so accurate you'll be beside yourself. From the looks of your front sight to your rear notches, looks like you'll benefit from pumpkin on a post type shooting. Which means our French site should be a quarter or a millimeter above the rear sites. Holding that trigger down at full cock is exactly what Alec Baldwin did on the movie Rust. Hence why his went off after he released the hammer.
Uberti Cattelman el patron..Not a wird name man... easy
It's numbered backward because it cycles in the other direction when fired.
Spain do lots of replicas, even cap and ball Colt Navies and Walkers.
So...did you sell "all" your replicas (how many did you have?) to avoid spending money on the original ammo? (And they are a lot...even not expensive.)and you bought yourself a revolver chambered for an automatic pistol cartridge that didn't even exist at the time? You could have refilled the cartridges, saving a lot. I think you're not that big of a fan, more like someone who likes to jump from topic to topic.
