Dusty Morningwood Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) Sold. This is a dandy little revolver that I just learned about. Made for Cimarron Arms by Uberti, it is a Colt Pocket Navy Conversion in .380. They opted for this round, as it is commercially available. Small, light and absolutely new in box with all paperwork. Cimarron lists it for around $650 + tax. $500 + Shipping to your FFL from my FFL. Edited May 5 by Dusty Morningwood 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Maverick Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 you must have a awfully big pocket for it to fit in. TM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hair Trigger Jim Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I've had one in the hand and liked it, although I've never shot one. According to those who know more than me, it's essentially a replica of the Colt Type 5 pocket "conversion" (although it left the factory as a cartridge gun) popular in the 1870s. I've read of somebody even making cartridges for this replica from .38 Short Colt brass. I think he turned down the rims a bit and probably shortened the case. But then he had it in an "authentic" caliber! (Originals were in .38 rimfire and .38 centerfire.) Very cool, Dusty! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macon Due Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 These don't have an ejector rod? Macon Due Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hair Trigger Jim Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 32 minutes ago, Macon Due said: These don't have an ejector rod? Macon Due Correct. In the videos I've seen, people don't seem to have a lot of trouble getting the empties out. The lack of a loading gate (just a channel in the frame for loading) actually seems more likely to be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macon Due Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I'll bet one of these with a loading gate and a 3.5-4" barrel would be sweet. Macon Due 29445 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When cylinder clicks into place frame overlaps cartridge head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Unless it's changed, about 4 1/2 years back, these were ruled ineligible for either a main match revolver or a side match revolver, even with the 3 1/2" barrel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
