In 1871, Colt employee Charles Richards was awarded a patent for converting Colt percussion models to breech loading cartridge revolvers. The Richards cartridge conversion was an instant success. On July 2, 1872, William Mason, another Colt employee, was awarded a patent for an improvement to the Richards model. Conversion models remained popular with cowboys (many originals will be found with imprints of fence staples on the butt) even after the introduction of the 1873 Colt®. This was due to the low cost of conversion models.

as usual, good service from Buds, and the gun is absolutely perfect. It now sports MOP grips and is very accurate with 38 sp FMG ammo again from Buds. This is not my first, or my last from Buds. another happy customer. Uberti makes a supurb SAA, very tight action and perfect fit to everything.

Always been a big fan of the open tops. Slightly smaller framed than an 1873, so just fits your hand perfectly. The angles on the gun make them natural point and shoot guns. I bought a pair just to have some fun during SASS matches. They are a blast. Solid construction. The cylinders lock up tighter than the cylinder on any Ruger Blackhawk I have ever shot. Taking them apart for cleaning the first time took a little effort. I had to use two halves of a clothespin tapped in from either side to separate the barrel because the arbor fit was so tight. I then took a piece of 600 grit sandpaper and twisted it on the arbor two twists at a time until I could slip the barrel back on the arbor if I put some muscle into it. Really enjoy these guns! They are also tack drivers! Definitely recommend!

Richards Mason 39sp conversion is a quality firearm. Buds gun shop web site is easy to use and I received my gun in about 4 days. The gun has a good feel and balance. I shot 50 rounds though it with no issues. It shoots straight at 10-20 yards, I did not try anything further than that. Cleaning the gun is easy. I attached Cimarron's wedge adjustment video because you can get the wedge too tight when assembling. I love this gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU7EPtdm1uQ

Excellent firearm !! Spot on out of the box. I would recommend this pistol.

I just got this pistol the other day, I have not shot it yet. The fit and finish of this gun is astounding, this is a replica of the old cap and ball pistols of the mid 1800's that were converted over to use cartridges. I never knew that story until I bought this gun. It feels good in the hand and the detail that went into building this pistol and its history is amazing. This will be one of my prize possessions from now on.

An excellent reproduction of an incredibly important historical revolver. The fit and finish are very well done, the revolver is solid and incredibly well balanced. Nothing rattly or cheap about it. It fits great in the hand, and goes naturally to the point of aim. It used to be that the only way to find these was to have one custom made - at a very high price - but Uberti has done a remarkable job making an affordable repro that does not feel affordable. The only inauthentic characteristic is the hammer safety. If you're not familiar with it, it is a small cam screw on the side of the hammer that turns a flange. In one position the flange allows the firing pin to travel fully into battery, firing the revolver. When turned the opposite direction, however, the flange will prevent the hammer from traveling completely and thus keeps the firing pin from striking the primer. The only reason it is there is because US law requires any import firearm to have a safety mechanism of some kind. Uberti has consistently struggled with having to meet this requirement while still making reproductions of guns that generally had no safeties while maintaining authenticity. FYI, this hammer flange is a point of contention with most forum boomers who will complain about just about anything. However, I have yet to have any issues with the hammer flange whatsoever, but in any event it is an easy fix. Just tighten the screw with some loctite. This is now my favorite revolver.

This Richards Mason 39sp conversion is a masterpiece in my opinion. Beautiful craftmanship. Love the case hardened receiver, walnut grips. I've shot over 500 rounds using various loads and had zero issues. Takedown is a breeze and it shoots straight out of the box.

Well made revolver and fun to envision yourself as the avenging pistolero righting wrongs and saving the day. Fit and finish is excellent. Just a nice piece of historic reproduction.
