Has anybody else tried breaking these sharp edges to relieve the tendency for percussion caps adhering to the Colt hammers...?
Thank you,

I was at my favorite gun shop last evening and a lonesome Uberti 1860 Army, followed me home. I think I will keep it...

If Pietta did the finishing on the Uberti Parts, would that make the finished guns Piettas?

Hi, does anyone know why the Italian replica manufacturers aren't making the Paterson's anymore?
Where's the best place to find one?
Regards,
Richard
The best place to find a Paterson is in my gun safe, right where my 80 pound Pit Bull, best friend sleeps.
Seriously though, I looked for quiet a while, until I found a Cimarron Paterson with the loading lever.

I would rate the 2nd gen Colts as the best, and then rate Uberti as the best "Colt type" Cap and Ball revolver manufacturer...

My favorite is the 1851 Navy... The 1851 Navy design elements affected every Colt pistol designed after it.
And don't forget the Octagonal barrel...
