will the new Uberti Python make the roster?

I'm sure you'll know after tomorrow.
And what makes you think it will be on there in the 1st place ??

If they submit it and it passes, then yeah. Is it DA? SA is exempt.

OP, do you have any links or pictures of this new gun?

I couldn't find anything on web, other than reoccuring "Uberti is making a Python replica" threads that eventually fade away ......

Most shooters don't see the inside of a revolver. I think if a replica was made it would do well so long as it was pretty as heck on the outside, which Uberti can probably do, and had a smooth, long DA pull. The Python used a frame mounted firing pin and that would seem to work well with a transfer bar system.

I'd wonder if they'd market it as their own distinct gun rather than a replica. Marketing it as a replica to a so currently made gun, of which there are plenty of "like new" still around, seems different than marketing a Schofield or the generic Colt 1873. Not many shooters know how an original Schofield locks up, pretty much everyone knows about the Colt older models "closed vault" lock up.

Thanks for the search Fletcher, I too did a few searches and came up MT handed. I don't own a Uberti firearm yet but I have held a few SAA revolvers at BPS here in Rancho. They seem like a well built gun.

Sorry I can't translate but there is a pic. Also it is just a rumor, Zero fact, since they said 2015 and haven't delivered....

If it looks familiar , do not worry , because it is the faithful replica of the legendary Colt Python , developed by FAP Pietta . The model will be called 1955 model P and provides for rods of 2.5 , 4, 6 and 8 inches.


This is the translation using google translate.

That's lame, like driving a Pontiac fiero converted to look like a Ferrari, get the real thing...if money is the problem, you're not workin hard enough

It looks cheesy, but if you're happy with second best...have at it

[Ripon83]

They make decent SAAs no reason to expect they wouldn't make a decent Python.

[saki302]

Reminds me of buying a fake Rolex and rocking it like the real thing.

Now if they can make it FEEL just like a real Python, it might make a nice shooter for those who don't want to put miles on their nice one.

I hear ya about cheesy second best. Just thinking even with all the OT I work $2500 is a lot of coin for a safe queen right now. I'd love to have one but... maybe when the roof, sewer line, and fences are fixed and the kids are....never mind. More OT it is.

Nothing I would ever be interested in. Just like buying into one of their recently produced off shore old time styled lever action rifles instead of me or you picking up a genuine American icon.
