Midway Sale Uberti 1860 Army

[Jappo]

We get excited and buy things we might not need.

Out of curiosity I went to look. An Uberti Whitneyville Dragoon looked at me with sad eyes. Well they have free shipping.

It’s taken all my will power to not order an Uberti 1851 London during this sale.

Got my 1860 today. It's in the same shape as the video, also an actual Uberti box, not one of the other importers.

Nicest sale gun I've gotten from Midway. Some of the others were time sinks just to get functioning.

If I could complain about anything, it'd be the wood fitup (still better than others I've gotten), and the trigger is a little stiff. Also, the expected short arbor. Just a little thumb pressure on the wedge is enough to lock up the gun.

Oh well, once I correct the arbor length, that just means I'll likely have a nice tight cylinder gap without too much additional work.

It arrived today and I have made a video and put it on YouTube. Sorry about the video, my camera was set on zoom so it's too close and makes the movements rapid.

Looks very nice. Thanks for the video....need to keep reminding myself that it's something I don't need and will try to refrain from having more than one beer when I'm on this site until the sale is over.

Thack, thank you for the unboxing video tour. You covered all the bases as to preliminary evaluations fit and function. It’s a good buy any day of the week. Nice revolver, have fun with it.
You covered Al the bases too.

I believe you will love it. For years I wanted a First Model Dragoon, then summer last year saw the Whitneyville on DGW's website, so I ordered them both. I haven't been able to get out and shoot them yet, but from time to time I get them out while watching tv and just handle them. I am considering getting holsters for them both and carrying them on short outdoor hikes when I do start shooting them. I love the feel of them.
