Uberti Single Action Army Convertible 4¾-Inch Revolver, Nickel, .45 Colt/.45 ACP
This factory dual-cylinder Uberti Single Action Army stands out with its full nickel finish, 4¾-inch “Civilian” barrel, and the ability to fire both .45 Colt and .45 ACP without moon clips. Imported in the late 1980s–1990s by Mitchell Arms of Anaheim, California, it combines classic four-click Colt lock-work with modern Italian craftsmanship, offering collectors and shooters a versatile, period-correct repro of the famed frontier six-gun.

What’s Included
- A. Uberti Single Action Army Convertible Revolver
- Spare fluted cylinder marked “.45 Colt”
The revolver ships with two fitted six-shot cylinders: one chambered in .45 ACP and a second fluted cylinder marked for .45 Colt. Swapping cylinders requires no tools and lets you choose between inexpensive ACP ammunition or traditional Long Colt loads.
A full nickel plate covers the carbon-steel barrel, frame, and cylinder, giving the gun a bright, corrosion-resistant finish that is less common among Italian SAA reproductions. Matching nickel screws and a color-coordinated hammer complete the look.
Uberti retained the traditional four-click hammer and lack of a transfer-bar safety, preserving the exact trigger feel and lock-up timing of 19th-century Colts. Fixed blade front and top-strap notch rear sights follow the original service pattern.
Proof marks include the Italian CAT. 6205 code on the frame and the “MITCHELL ARMS INC ANAHEIM CALIF U.S.A.” import stamp, anchoring its production era and import history for collectors tracking specific runs.
