My stainless Uberti has been flawless.

I like how they hide the BP warnings on the underside of the barrel.

Have you considered the Ruger OA?

Not a pure 1858 but exceptional quality.
There was one for sale here recently at a great price.

My Uberti:

The ROA is a Whitney with coil springs and a larger bore. A true .45 (.457) versus a .44 (.451). 1858 cylinder notches, retained double pin compound action loading ram.
Spiller and Burr was a brass framed 58 clone scaled down to .36, currently only available in a Traditions blister pack starter kit.
I’d love to get a stainless 58 with the optional Bear Paw grip frame. I wear a 4x to 5x glove, anything smaller than my ROA with a Super Blackhawk gripframe is too small.

Nope, they're. 45's ( .452) just like Pietta and Uberti "44's". .457" balls just give you more bearing surface for the 1:18" rifling. The ball is "sized" at loading ( same as with all cap gun revolvers).

I can shake a .452 right out of the chamber. Can “seat” them with a pencil.

Yap, but you can't shove the .452 down the "bore" of the barrel without a rod and a hammer . . . just like a Blackhawk, Colt SAA, Uberti Dragoon, Pietta .44 Army/Navy et al.

You're correct in that the ROA is a ".45" but just like the Uberti /Pietta (and others) are ".45's".

My 5 ROA's wouldn't be nearly as accurate as they all are if the bore was .457" (.452's would rattle down the barrel like .38's (.357) in a .36 (.375)!!!! 😆).

Kind words, indeed!

I’ve always had a thing for the 1858, but I must admit to also being partial to the 1851 Colt, so I picked up a 2nd Gen.
It’s one of the 300 they made with a blank cylinder.

Not as durable as the stainless but beautiful just the same.

Nice looking grip on that one, very attractive and really looking like the features of an early '51

Thanks, I added them!

It came with wood; here’s a shot with the unmentionable conversion cylinder.

Glad you like the new ones!
