Uberti SAA Clones coming in 9mm

[Aszerigan]

Being a big fan of SAA revolvers, this intrigues me. They're also offering an Ursus in 10mm which is (smartly) ported too. Interesting to see the semi-auto cartridges being offered in this platform. This wouldn't be for any serious shooting, just a little backyard plinking. A dual cylinder version is coming too, which makes sense.

I guess they're trying to appeal to the younger audiences, not the aging revolver fans like most of us.

Ruger offered a Blackhawk chambered in .357, with an extra cylinder chambered in 9mm years ago.....

My dad had one of those! Sadly he sold it, it was pretty fun to shoot!

I'd like to have one. I've got one in 45 colt/45 acp that I really like. With the 357/9mm you'd have the versatility to shoot 3 calibers out of one gun which would even be better.

I've got a Ruger Vaquero in 45 Colt/ACP that I've never shot with the 45 Colt cylinder. These single actions are just fun guns for me, so I don't worry about authenticity when taking one to the range/cornfield. I'll be looking into picking up one of these Ubertis in 9mm, since I've got a plentiful supply of that cartridge.

That would be fun. I'd like the convertible version but could live with the 9mm model to save some money.

Interesting. Guess the chamber headspaces on the case mouth?

Yep.

Along with the 1873 Cattleman, the company's El Patron is available with a 9mm Luger cylinder. The cylinders are machined with a rim inside the cylinder chambers that allow 9mm Luger cartridges to headspace on the case rim, so no moon clips are required for their use. The round are loaded individually, and spent cases are ejected in the traditional fashion through the use of the ejector rod.

Same here. I'd just mark out 9mm Luger on my ammo boxes and write ".36 Frontier" on the box with a Sharpie.

After shooting my son's 45colt Ruger Vaquero I really enjoyed shooting it. I'm searching for a Ruger Blackhawk 45colt for my SA revolver. How close is a Blackhawk to a SAA?

Close, but they don't have the feel of the SAA. There's something special about the way the old replicas feel. And I love those big, meaty bullets dragging along at 650fps.
