Today the UPS truck delivered my new Uberti Colt Walker. I think that I read every post and watched every UTube video concerning the Walker. I already own a Uberti Colt 1860 Army that I bought at Dixon’s gun shop about 15 years ago. I was not disappointed when I opened the box. The revolver was wrapped in plastic and covered with oil. I tried to beak it down, but the barrel would only move about a half an inch. So I sprayed it down with alcohol and being it stopped raining, I loaded it up with 38 grains of 3f goex and a .454 rb, told my wife that I was going to make some noise off the back deck. All six shots went off perfectly. I was using #10 CCI caps that went on with the help of a wooden dowel. I figured that I wanted to shoot this piece with some authority, so my next 18 shots would be with 50 grains of 3f goex. I went out to my wood pile and proceeded to have some fun. I was expecting the cylinder to get stiff, being that I didn’t lube the gun. Well, after 24 shots in total, not one misfire! I put 6 shots on that paper plate from 15 yards. I was expecting it to shoot real high, but it only shot a little high and to the right. When I tried to break it down for cleaning, it came apart without issue. The fit and finish is just as good as my 1860 colt that I bought year’s ago. Sorry about the long post but today feels like Christmas in April.
