Interesting. As usual, there are two sides to everything. I recently purchased a Uberti El Patron 45 Colt reproduction and I found it to be of high quality in every aspect. No rough spots, the fit and finish are excellent. The action is also smooth and satisfying. Before I bought it I read many reviews on Uberti by owners and gun reviewers and the majority of their comments were positive and complimentary. The fact is, there will always be some guns that are not properly inspected before leaving the plant. That’s just the way it is with mass produced products of all types.

In reply to Sean Streets. I heard about their poor QA on firearms. Makes me wonder why they are still in business .

I had heard good things about Uberti and so I bought an Uberti replica Colt 1860 Army a little over a year ago. A very nice design and looked great out of the box. However, after picking it up and having a closer look I noticed the horrible build quality and total lack of pride in how this gun was made. Almost all of the parts had an excessive amount of burrs that actually made handling it somewhat of a liability and caused the ramrod mechanism to constantly jam. The cylinder lock timing was off and it hit the cylinder denting the relief grooves. The lock itself was misshapen and needed to be fitted so that it had enough clearance not to hit the cylinder. The whole gun had to be disassembled and the burrs filed off to correct the ramrod problem and to keep you from cutting yourself on various exposed edges. The 2 pins that locate the barrel to the receiver were also installed crooked in the receiver and needed to be fixed. I recently enquired with Uberti through their official US website about the problems and asked if they would replace the cylinder as it was marked up…I even offered to pay for the part despite the gun supposedly having a 5 year warranty. Patrick at Tech Services (Benelli) simply replied sorry they couldn’t do anything and referred me to 3rd party parts suppliers. I would never recommend anyone to buy a firearm from a company that obviously doesn’t care in the slightest about the quality of their own products or their customers.

Any of the CMS models are nice, like the 3.5” birdshead shown in Kenda Lenseigne’s pic above. The 5.5” Hombre also has the lower hammer spur (halfway between a Peacemaker hammer and a Bisley Hammer) that makes for comfortable one handed operation. Unlike the Ruger’s, Uberti does not hammer the hammer, so learn to load one, skip one, load four, and full pull and thumb down release.

Amazingly fun to shoot with cowboy loads (.45LC), easy to handle for a newbie, but with the traditional 4 step cocking sounds of an original Peacemaker.
