After watching one of my favorite westerns I saw something I don't recall seeing before. An open top revolver. Yes I'm aware that they've been around for quite a while but I never really paid any attention to what the guys in the movie were holding. So the search began for my very own. I stumbled into the Uberti website and found a couple I like. Only problem is I was looking for something in .41 mag or .44 mag so's I could pick up a lever gun to match. All I've found are .45 colt and .38/.357. The pistols are .38 specials and the carbine is a .357 mag.
I'm really leaning towards the .38/.357 mag combo for an set of field and dear/hog guns but don't know anything about open top revolvers. I've read plenty about the .38 out of a rifle and how it does just fine at dropping deer/hogs at close range.
Any of you have an open top revolver that you have shot enough to give some insight? Fun to shoot? Accurate? Durable? Any real ballistic reason to get the 45's over the 38's?
Thank you in advance.
