True that!
Me too. And spare chambers are not too expensive either. Pietta seem to have come close to Uberti regards quality control these days, so if you want to save a few dollars and put up with the stamping on the side of the barrel I'd go with this.
I've seen enough comments up and down about Centaurs so, they definitely aren't lol. My only Santa Barbara had a bore / chamber misalignment that couldn't be fixed so nada . . .
The best '60's were the originals, all else are reproductions.
You got a lemon on that Santa mike. Luckily for myself I've not ran into any lemons from Santa or centaur.
This one centaur from 1959 is very special though. It feels totally different from the centaur made thousands of sn#'s later.
I do agree nothing beats a original, wish I still had my navy but so eone else wanted it more then I did at the time

Both Uberti and Pietta are good but slightly larger than the original Beals design. Uberti has the ugly warning stamps hidden under the rammer. Pietta has them on the barrel sides, but easily ignored as I have both.
Conversion cylinders are easily swapped making the platform very versatile.

I agree, just wish the warning stamps would be less in your face.
Just to show this is a uberti 2023 model. I hear a lot about quality decline and I will admit I've gotten several open top lemons from uberti this year. But this 1858 turned out to be cream of the crop

What is the price
I don’t like to post prices on FB anymore, as the AI algorithms often flag a post about pew pews and a price as sales.
Let’s say about twice what it costs for a Uberti INOX Stainlesd Steel one. That is for the matte black one that Midway had in stock. The Stainless steel one is north of that even.
This one was about 1,700 clams on Taylor’s website recently.
