WOLFY Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I’ve been thinking on getting some 357s. Taylors has some 5.5” ones for @$500 per. I’m guessing these are Ubertis, anyone know if they have floating firing pin safeties, like the cattleman II? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I would call Taylors & ask them. They are friendly folks. (540) 722-2017 --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 My Uberti '75s do have floating firing pins and they have the little T-bar safeties. Don't know what's in Cattlemen IIs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what's in Cattlemen IIs Thank you, Rainmaker. I believe the T bar was Uberti’s previous safety system (my buntline cattleman has a tbar). The Cattleman II system allows the firing pin to retract far enough into the hammer when the trigger is released that it doesn’t protrude past the recoil plate.

The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I've never had the pins out, just cleaned up the hammer notches and cam. The pins are held in with a cross pin and wobble a bit. Seem to work fine. My issue with the Ubertis is the hardness of the metal. Even if they didn't do a great job on fit and finish, if the metal was harder, what you did (or had done) to clean them up would be more durable.
