SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1) DO NOT transport your Uberti Conversion with a cartridge in the chamber. Failure

to observe this rule could result in an accidental discharge if the firearm is dropped

or knocked.

2) We advise that you DO NOT use old cartridges in these firearms because the

brass powder, after a certain period of time, can deteriorate and damage your

firearm which can be dangerous also for yourself.

3) NEVER use cartridges marked “High Speed” or “High Velocity”.

4) Uberti assumes no liability for incidents occurring through the use of reloaded

ammunitions.

Use ONLY COMMERCIALLY loaded cartridges that have been loaded in accor-

dance with SAAMI-C.I.P. standards.

BEFORE REMOVING THE FIREARM FROM THIS PACKAGE,

READ & UNDERSTAND THE PRECAUTIONS IN THE

INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL

IMPORTANT

The old-timers used to say that the safest way to carry a single-action

revolver was to load only five chambers and let the hammer rest, in

the safety position, on the empty sixth chamber. That’s good advice

even today. It still takes proper care in handling and use by you, its

owner.

Remember to tighten up your screws after firing or at least when you

clean your firearm.

Draw the hammer back approximately

” until you feel the hammer “click” into the “half cock” position (Fig.2). With

the enclosed screwdriver key, turn the SAFETY BLOCK screw head clockwise (located on the right side of the hammer)

until you see the SAFETY BLOCK come all the way out (Fig.1). Gently pull the hammer all the way back to the full

cock position (Fig. 3), always keeping control of the hammer, and depress the trigger, now, gently lower the hammer

down onto an EMPTY chamber. The hammer is now in the safety position. Use this position every time you are not acti-

vely engaged in shooting your revolver. NEVER POSITION A LIVE ROUND UNDER THE HAMMER UNTIL YOU

ARE READY TO FIRE!

To fire the gun, you will need to reverse the above procedure, always making certain the gun is pointed in a safe, down

range direction.

DISASSEMBLY

To disassemble your Conversion, insure there is no ammunition or

casing in the cylinder. After checking the cylinder for any ammuni-

tion or casings, you will have to turn the wedge screw, located on the

left side of the barrel, above the wedge, to the OPEN position. You will

note that the screw has a flat cut into one side of the screw head. Align

this flat with the wedge (See Fig. 6). After turning the wedge screw to

the OPEN position, remove the wedge from the barrel. Once the

wedge is removed, pull the barrel off the cylinder pin towards the

front. After removing the barrel, the cylinder can be removed for clea-

ning. To assemble the Open Top, reverse the above and insure you turn

the wedge screw

turn to the CLOSED position. (See Fig.5).

NOTE: Keep in mind the wedge is the means of adjusting the barrel

to cylinder gap. If the wedge is pushed in too far the barrel to cylinder gap will be too tight and the cylinder cannot rota-

te. The revolver is jammed. If this happens, back out the wedge.

Keeping your finger out of the trigger guard and off the trigger, draw the hammer back to the half-cock position which

makes the cylinder free to rotate. Then open the loading gate as far as it will go. This will expose each chamber, one at

a time, as you rotate the cylinder. Make certain you have the exact caliber cartridges matching the exact caliber of your

revolver. Then load one cartridge in each chamber. Close the loading gate which, as you can see, becomes part of the

recoil shield. Then place the hammer in the safety notch position by drawing it back, allow the hammer to travel slowly

forward, but only far enough to pass its half-cock notch position, carefully pull the trigger back, and, holding it back, sli-

ghtly to disengage it from its half-cock notch. Holding the hammer back out of its half-cock notch position, carefully pull

the trigger back, and, holding it back, allow the hammer to travel slowly forward, but only far enough to pass its half-

cock notch. NOTE: You will not hear a click as it moves through the half-cock notch. Then release the pressure on the

trigger and continue to slowly lower the hammer forward until it clicks into its safety posi-

tion. Again, you should practice this loading function without any cartridges until you are

comfortable with handling the hammer and are familiar with its respective notches. Then,

and only then, are you and your revolver ready for use.

FIRING (FULL COCK) POSITION

Draw the hammer full rearward to its full cock position. Make sure it clicks into this rear-

most position. Your revolver is now ready to fire. (See drawing ‘C’)

NOTE: Never attempt to fire your revolver in any position except the full cock position.

Attempting to pull the trigger in the safety position or half cock position will strain the

mechanism and make it unsafe. (It might even break if you are strong enough).

If you have your revolver in the full cock position and change your mind and don’t want to shoot, carefully follow these

steps:

1. Point the revolver in a safe direction.

2. Fully draw the hammer back with your thumb and continue holding it fully rearward while pulling the trigger back-

ward. Hold the trigger and hammer back in this position.

3. While you keep holding the trigger back, slowly lower the hammer downward, past its half cock notch. Remember

– you are lowering it toward a live round! Be careful and keep it pointed in a safe direction.

4. When past the half cock notch, release pressure on the trigger and take your finger out of the trigger guard.

5. Continue to lower the hammer to its safety notch position.
