Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Goof question. I'm looking to hear the answer too. --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Probablt for the same reason that Rossi doesn't make a 73 or 66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokestack SASS#87384 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Because they have a reputation to uphold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 There are already a lot of players in the 1892 world: original pre-WWII Winchester (my favorite rifle for all purposes) Rossi El Tigre (not made in years) Miroku-made Brownings and Winchesters Chiappa My question is why doesn't Uberti make a short-throw tactical 1873 in 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. The bolt would ytravel 2/3 as far as standard guns, and these cartridges generate limited pressures. Capacity would be around 13-14 rounds for a 20" barrel.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Maybe because the 92 is just not as popular as the 66 and 73 and Henry's. Uberti is not stupid! Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Howdy, My question is why doesn't Ruger make a 92? A 9mm 92 could be awesome. Maybe they could try making a rifle like a BL-22 short stroke? Gotta love the BL-22, cant figure why I waited so long..... Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 There are already a lot of players in the 1892 world: original pre-WWII Winchester (my favorite rifle for all purposes) Rossi El Tigre (not made in years) Miroku-made Brownings and Winchesters Chiappa My question is why doesn't Uberti make a short-throw tactical 1873 in 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP.

Not particularly well, I've heard. As for why Uberti doesn't make a '73 for those semi-auto cartridges, I'd say it is because they can't keep up with orders for the existing calibers so no sense adding more. Also wouldn't be SASS legal and the non-CAS folks who like those calibers are likely to prefer a semi-auto carbine which are available and less expensive. So basically, limited manufacturing capacity and limited market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
