Rancho Roy Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product_info.php?products_id=3489 But they can't ship them to Paterson NJ! I haven't seen these available for years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah, well at $600 a copy for a copy, that's just too darn much, boys and girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Lessee.... 600 for the revolver itself... Not *too* bad... Probably another 400 to have it cartridge converted to .38 S&W... Why the conversion, you may ask? Ever since I saw a picture of one on the cover of Guns of the Old West, I have wanted one. Total $1000.00. Hmm... Well, I'd consider it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yeah, well at $600 a copy for a copy, that's just too darn much, boys and girls. Last Ubertis clones I saw new, were $900/ea., over 6 years ago.. $600 seems like a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Dick, SASS #12880 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The Paterson is a much more complex revolver than later Colts and there is a pretty limited market for them. The complexity, lack of interchangeability of parts with later models and low production numbers certainly justify the price. I recently picked up one of the out of production Uberti Patersons, unfired, for far less than the typical asking price. I've heard it said that the Uberti is a slightly more accurate reproduction, mine even has the many grooved, narrow land rifling unique to the Paterson. If you think $595 for a Pieta is high, try to find a reasonably priced Uberti Paterson. Patersons have no use in our sport but they are very significant historically and way cool. What a gun is worth is pretty much a personal question. I just may have to have one of the Pietas with that neat nine inch barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancho Roy Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Patersons have no use in our sport Are they legal in SASS ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Dick, SASS #12880 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Are they legal in SASS ?They are only five shot capacity with no notch or pin to positively locate the lowered hammer between chambers so could only be loaded with four shots. My Uberti has a very heavy hammer spring that makes it very difficult and awkward to cock one handed. That hammer spring is a hairpin design and I suspect a replacement would be difficult to find so trying to thin or lighten it is not in the cards for me.
