Uberti 1871 Open-Top Conversion Features The Uberti 1871 Open-Top Conversion .45 Colt reflects the transitional era between cap-and-ball revolvers and factory-built cartridge guns retaining the graceful lines of the early Navy pattern. Its walnut grip and brass furniture complement the case-hardened frame to create a classic well-balanced feel in the hand. The engraved cylinder and rounded barrel maintain the authentic styling of the original open-top design. The blued finish blends cleanly with the brass trigger guard and backstrap to reinforce its historic appearance. A six-groove 1:16 right-hand twist supports steady performance with common .45 Colt loads while preserving the revolver's traditional shooting character. With an 11 overall length and a manageable 2.6-pound weight it offers comfortable control with the personality of a single-action revolver.
