I couldn't resist

[John from MD]

While I am cutting down the number of guns I own prior to eventually going to Florida, some things I just can't pass up.

While they have been out for a long time, I had no interest in the Uberti Cattleman 12 shot .22LR. The reason was that I was shooting full size guns in calibers such as .44 Mag and .45 Colt. Arthritis has also helped me to downsize and replacing my 1873 .45 Colt with a .22 LR in a gun with the same feel makes sense.

Last night I bought a Taylor's Uberti .22LR Cattleman from Tall Tales Sporting Goods in Russell, PA. This is a mom and pop shop that always has good selections. I'll be transferring it through Chesapeake Shooting Center, owned by one of our MDS members.

I can't wait to get it.

Good luck with it! They're a sharp looking revolver. Hopefully be a good shooter too!

You know, I truly enjoy the centerfires, and reloading for the centerfires. But there are days when I'll shoot rimfire, and think that today's 150 rounds just cost me (oftentimes) 10% of the price. And as a bonus, there's no brass to inspect. No brass to process. No components to inventory or buy. No brass to load.

I find that there are more of those days nowadays. Not many of those days. But more of those days.

Enjoy your new revolver!

How bout it I’ve been doing the same lately.
Just walk away when you’re done shooting with the 22’s.
Because I like to shoot some turn bolt milsurp rifles it’s not hard to justify the cost of the miniature caliber rifles by the savings of the ammo and time reloading the components.
I would imagine with pistol shooting it’s nearly the very the same thing minus single loading.

I'll do that and give a report. The MO got to the dealer today. Hopefully they will get it out this week.
