Uberti 1873 357 mag rifle

[jeff43]

Does anybody have one of these?Do you shoot 357 mag through it or 38 special?Any problems shooting 357's?

Never messed with this rifle in particular, but if it's anything like all the other Uberti's I've shot/played with, it's a VERY well put together piece.

[jeff43]

Yes they are. I've heard some people say not to shoot 357's in them much because of the weak 1873 action.

I would think that if they produce a firearm made for a specific chambering, logic would dictate that it should cycle the ammo just fine being that it's a modern produced firearm. I'm more referring to commercial .357 and not so much handloads that'd make Dirty Harry jealous, haha.

I have shot both 38s and 357s with no problems. I also own a 1892 Rossi that doesn't want to chamber the shorter 38s.

I've got a Rossi 1892 and a Ranch Hand in 357, both of the chamber 38's good.

I had one for a while. There was no problem with .357's outside of cost. Fun great looking guns.
