    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.
