Trying to understand this “short arbor” on Uberti revolvers

[45D]

So what are you saying..

Lots of Colts need fixed (99%) and almost no (two) Remingtons, kind of argues for the Remingtons

No, that's called "wishful thinking of a Remy fan"! Not to mention ANY revolver will benefit from a "tuning ".

Colt platforms are definitely more popular across the board 3:1 at least. Remies would be my cap gun choice for Cowboy Action Shooting though . . . mainly for the ease of swapping cylinders at the loading table.

If only the Remington grip fit my hand.

Personally I find the open tops to be better balanced. Both are cool revolvers and I like the look of the Remmies. I just don't see them on the bench very often.
