I have shot Ruger's for most of my life .
I have several three screw Ruger's .
The timing and feel is Just about perfect.
Just over sprung a little .
And that can be fixed with a hammer spring installed .
Then come the New model Ruger's .
As nice as they are and built like tanks .
The action and timing just dont feel right and timing seems a little clunky too me.
In the last couple years I started shooting Uberti Replicas .
Man Oh man Uberti has the timing down to Perfection and smooth actions !
Just install a lighter hammer spring and its as good as any Colt IMHO.
I have two 1860's
Two 1873's
Two 1871 Open Tops
And One Wells Fargo .
And One Original 1860 Colt .
And two 1873 Colt Gen 2's
And I have to say .
Blind folded You cant tell the Uberti's from the Colts.
I cant even shoot the NM Vaquero's any more .
They feel like something in the timing to just Broken .
Just sayin
Rooster
PS .
Your mileage may vary .
But mine are just too sweet !
