Uberti Paterson

[B P Arn]

Here’s a link regarding a beautiful cased original Colt Paterson that sold for big bucks: 1836 Colt Revolver Sells for Record $977,500 Price at Auction « Daily Bulletin. I keep it in my safe at home. Notice that even though the gun has a loading lever there is still a loading tool in the case. Maybe that’s just for the nipple wrench.

Well... how's she shoot?

It performed well in my last running battle with the Comanches.

Did you have to file the sights to get it to shoot to point of aim?

Did the arbor length need correcting?

None of the above. I haven’t even fully disassembled it. I may shoot it again a couple of times before I retire it. Mostly it’s just for lookin at.

Here are pictures of a loading stand I made in about 2012. I padded the bottom with leather to cushion the grip frame, and also to allow a more universal fit for various revolvers.

I can load my Paterson replica with this.

Thats really nice work. I don’t think it will fit in my range bag.

You wouldn’t be posting if it didn’t.
