Taylor ‘75 Remington Outlaw Question

[WOLFY 22]

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?

I would call Taylors & ask them.

They are friendly folks.

My Uberti '75s do have floating firing pins and they have the little T-bar safeties.

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.

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.
