Japanese Navy Contract Smith & Wesson New. Mod.3 - .44 Russian

I have always enjoyed shooting the S&W Russian cartridge and prefer the S&W over the Colt.

Also, I do reload the 44 Russian using Unique and lead bullets. Well over twenty years ago, I did buy the Uberti S&W 44 Russian copy (not really a direct copy but sort of a combination of the Russian patterns).

I really wanted something to shoot and with practice found that I can empty the cylinder and reload it in fourteen seconds ! try that with a single action ColtAttachment 137583

I love the look and feel of these single actions. Your Uberti is beautiful but my arthritic thumbs have difficulty with single action pistols. I had one like yours, an original, and the only way I could shoot with any speed was to use my off hand to cock the hammer. I recently acquired a nickel double action in astounding condition. Other than some rippling in the bore and the fact that it's a period re-nickel, this is the nicest pistol of its type that I've ever handled.
