Uberti 1873 Cat Charblue 4.75" -.45 Colt

Operationally, the Uberti 1873 Cat Charblue .45 Colt Pistol has the same design function as the original Colt Peacemaker and early 3- screw Rugers, without the neutered look or feel of the current Ruger single action lineup. In other words, Uberti still retains the firing pin on the hammer, along with the four distinct clicks (safe notch, half- cock / load notch and full- cock notch) that are heard as the hammer is being cocked back on this SAA style revolver. Old timers used to say that the safest way to carry a single action revolver is to load only five chambers, and then let the hammer ride on an empty sixth chamber. While this is still sound advice, a modern transfer bar system allows the Uberti to carried with a fully loaded cylinder, where there this no risk of accidental discharge if banged or dropped. This is a passive hammer block, so the firing pin cannot reach the primer unless the trigger is pulled. This truly makes the Uberti 1873 Cat Charblue a remarkable firearm.
