I have had both the Uberti and ASM (Armi San Marco) brands of this cap & ball clone of a Colt S A A.
As noted these really need the special loading tool which requires R & R cylinder for each loading.
The Uberti had a very nicely tuned and smooth action, very good fit and finish overall.
As far as shooting them... they are fun to shoot but slow to load. I got bored with them rather quickly and sold them.
You might search the internet auction & fixed price gun sites for a better deal or a used one. JMO Also, the Uberti's were available in three barrel lengths like the Colt's they copy.
A few years ago Cabelas closed out their Uberti's in this model for about $150 including the loading tool. They sold fast.
Good luck and have fun whatever you decide. :hatsoff:

Howdy Folks,
Mine is a Pietta. Yes, it takes a loading tool to load the cylinder and it is slow. The way around that is spare cylinders. Load them all up and go shoot.
It shoots as straight as I can shoot it. My old eyes don't see the sights so good anymore so I shoot just for fun.
