Finally got this from MidwayUSA. Shooting it was a unique experience for me, given I'm a beginner with smoke poles. Seems very well built, rugged and good looking to boot. Using the Uberti recommended loads of 30 gr. 3F with RB and 25 gr. with conicals, I was getting 4" groups at 50 yd with conicals but twice that with RB. Definitely wear full wrap around style eye protection, not the period correct Harry Potter style. The caps are close to your face and I would feel a very slight sting on my face when firing. This is from the priming compound bouncing back off the nipple flange. Recoil is mild. They recommend holding both hands behind the cylinder in case of chain fire. Not sure how that would happen with a grease cookie under the bullet, but you never know. With low bullet strikes, it looks like I'll have to file down the front sight just a hair. I maxxed out the elevation adjustment just to get a 50 yard zero with conicals. My next step is to get the cylinder conversion for 45 Colt with handloads no greater than 12,000 PSI. I'm gonna have a lot of fun with this gun.
