I looked for years for a nice S&W Russianicon that I could afford - but never able to get anything. then I thought, just buy the new Uberti Italianicon S&W Russian in 44 Russian caliber and shoot it all you want. very accurate in 44 Russian and very easy to reload. I use 250 gr lead bullets and Unique powder but have seen black powder shot well tooAttachment 102149Attachment 102150
