Uberti "Stallion" -- 22LR SAA

Post by Old No7 »

Denis Prisbrey (DPris), a former fellow Levergunner here, wrote a favorable article about a 12-shot version of the Uberti Stallion 22 LR (a scaled-down SAA) back in 2015 years before he passed to the great shooting range up above. I found one recently -- a 6-shooter -- and after handling it some in the shop, I had to have it as a companion for my Marlin 1897 Cowboy levergun.

Got to admit, she is purty!

I sure hope she shoots as well as she looks.

:( I miss his posts. He had genuine first hand knowledge without being snooty handing it out.

I do too Blaine. :( I really enjoyed his articles in "Guns of the Old West" magazine too.

Darryl, that is a sweet looking sixgun. Looking forward to the range report! If I ever come across one of the 12-shooters I am going to grab it! :mrgreen:

Is the size similar to the old Colt .22 SAA revolvers they made? I'd be interested in one if they aren't too small for my big meat hooks!

I read somewhere (CRS attack) the Stallion, like the 1970s Colt Peacemaker/New Frontier 22s, are 7/8 scale copies of the SAA. I've shot several of the Colts but have only handled the Stallion. That Stallion is a very nice single action.

Correct. The dealer I got mine from called it a "nice solid 3/4 scale 1873 in 22 LR".

It really feels great in the hand -- gotta get it out shooting soon!

I'll probably keep looking for a full sized SAA in .22LR, as my hands are too large for any of the smaller versions.

uberti did make the full size 22. i had one and of course it was quite heavy . i dont know if they ever made the full size with adjustable sights which , for me, are really helpful on a 22

Adjustaable sights are useful on many guns, but I dislike them on a SAA format handgun. Mainly for the looks of the sights, as to me they always looked out of place on any SAA design. I have several extremely accurate Hi Standard .22 pistols that I shoot if I want something really accurate, so not interested in target accuracy in a SAA .22
