In percussion revolvers, I have stayed with Colt. I have a .36 caliber Texas Patterson, .44 cal Walker, 1849 .31 cal pocked model, .44 cal 1860 Army, .36 cal1861 Navy & an 1873 45 Colt SAA. All of these were made by either Uberti or Pietta. A former co-worker of mine had a first-generation Colt SAA & we compared my Uberti with it. The difference in the smoothness of action was virtually non-existent. I had bought mine on sale from Cabellas at Dealer price for about $100.00 as I had an FFL at the time. Muzzle Energy notwithstanding, don't believe it when someone tries to tell you a .22 LR is more powerful than the .31 cal Colt pocket model.
