"so tell me comrade punk, was it 5 or 6 bottles of wadka?" lol Just having some fun, I couldn't resist. Great video, as usual. The rest of utewb doesn't know what they're missing!
I think I'm the only person I know who has one of these. I took it to the gun range today. I don't think I've touched this revolver in three or more years. It's one of the more unique revolvers in my collection, but but the ammo is a pain in the ass to find. Thanks for the video!
Again you my friend are A master filmmaker . Love the revolver , I like the spur on the trigger guard , I will have to do some research on .44 Russian reloads . Looks like A very pleasant revolver to shoot .
Hello! You're much too kind! Your words boost my morale, but I'm really just a goofball with an iPhone! I've only shot the HMS Cowboy loads of 44 Russian and 44 Special out of this. Very similar in feel. Much closer that I'd have thought. Both are creampuffs tho, very mild and pleasant! Thank you again!
Hi! Yes, it adds a very nice touch. I’ve been so lucky to visit various places around the globe and there is indeed wondrous and beautiful places and people throughout. Thanks for the comment!
Damn, i must say that i'm genuinely impressed by this video. Now, about 90% of videos on YT about guns are all over the place with bad video and audio quality; but this video is engaging, the placement and angle of shooters AND placed revolvers are on point, the text is short and to the point but still relevant, and the choice of music is fitting without being "too much". GREAT work on this!
Hello and WOW!, what a great compliment! Thank you so much! I’ve never claimed to be a gun expert or even a gun reviewer. My start-up intent was just to offer some various views and looks of guns I enjoy owning and shooting. Sometimes when I’m considering a new gun, after all the “research”, I like to just look at different images to try and get the overall “vibe” of it. Plenty of experts and reviewers here on CZcams. Hopefully people can get some entertainment and maybe a little info from my versions. Thanks again!
Beautiful pistols, music, and scenery. Pops has the first model double action which I’m holding right now comparing to my Pietta 1863 Starr. The Number 3 Russian is a pistol I’ve had on my got to have list for a very long time. Just gorgeous!
Hi! It’s an incredibly cool pistol, no doubt. I wasn’t familiar with the Starr’s till I searched them. Wonder if a conversion cylinder can be had for one? Thanks for your kind words!
Hello! I personally can’t think of a reason to disagree with you. I really do like the feel of all my single actions, but there’s something special and cool about handling the #3’s. Thanks!
Trigger spur was used for middle finger support, to remove revolver's recoil shift. It sounds wierd, but it is in all russian historical documents. What can I say...
@@gunsmackamigos1159 No problem, you are welcome.Sure you haven't, because they are in russian))) More over, right yesterday I found information about fantasticly beautiful revolver Galand-Sommerville Sportsman. So, that beauty also had trigger spur, and it is explained as:" to handle revolver, when using skeleton buttstock." Google, if interested. So looks, like trigger spur was a sort of european firearm "fashion" and aesthetics of those times...exactly at 1870s!
I always had a couple of thoughts on the spur, but admit to not researching, yet. One, that it helped for carriers when they used winter gloves. Two, when intended for mounted personnel, this would be a stronger control grip on the piece while moving and loading.
Wow!!! Beautifully filmic as always! And, Brilliant re the idea of the spur as sash holder accessory!! I've never heard this theory before, but looks like it works well for this and makes sense. Does it sit steady in the sash as you walk around etc? This could be a major new insight! Also, great choice of music, as always... part of making you one of the top channels on youtube for this genre. Your two handed grip using the spur looked very comfortable and accurate. Do you prefer this over two-handing without the spur? Again, I have never heard this discussed before, so another amazing insight potentially. I've never been attracted to the Russian model because of the spur. It just looked like it would get in the way. Now I'm thinking of getting one. I have one of the S&W made Schofields made around 2000 ish. I share your thinking that the model 3 may be my favourite western '6 gun', especially for the quick unload/reload. Used by many famous gunslingers, likely for this reason. I guess it was not as popular as the Colt SAA as more expensive and more difficult to maintain, and keep running in the rugged rough and tumble life of a cowboy on the range. God's Love, Western Wilderness!
Hello. I’ve never found out the true reason for the spur. Just guesses, such as the sash or extra finger rest. Could it be a weapon/shield against sabers? I find it very elegant and intriguing looking and have even held it one handed with my middle finger on the spur, just for a different feel. Two handed tho, your off hand fingers do want to naturally fall across it. The only downside to it I could imagine is maybe being an obstacle during a “panic draw”. Thank you for your nice compliments!
@Ken Kaneki Hello. I cannot answer that for you. I’d ask Uberti. I shoot HSM Cowboy Action loads of 200 gr 44 Russian and 240 gr 44 Special in mine. I’d think these pistols can handle any standard factory load just fine or they’d probably include a warning. Thanks.
Man...you've got great taste in firearms. I'm pretty sure I've already told you that. That Russian is sweet. Bonus points for it being in .44 Russian, too. I've been thinking a little on a 5" No.3 New model American when Cimarron finally starts shipping them. I think that 5" would make a nice crossdraw companion to the Schofield. BUT...you've got me thinking Russian, now. I just A-L-M-O-S-T came home with a new Spencer carbine in .45 Colt the other day. My local dealer has one on the wall that's calling my name, but $1999+ is hard to swallow, right now. I brought home a new case hardened(color)/blued Cimarron (Pietta) 4-3/4" SAA clone in .45 Colt, instead. I sold my old Cherokee after just one day on Craigslist, but we've also bought a (relatively) low mile F250 Super Duty 4x4 7.3 Powerstroke yesterday. I broke down and ordered some hp and torque goodies for it today instead of buying a $2000 rifle.
Hey man! Where do I start? No joke- I recently got a 5" New Model 3 nickel plated from Taylor's! That'll probably be my next video.Id love to have a Spencer! Yes, vehicles can sometimes take precedence over certain "toys". Thanks!
I wasn't looking for that New Model 3, but my local just got it in and you know that feeling. They now have the 6.5" nickel version in stock. I don't think Taylor's even has them listed on their website, but man, they're pretty guns!
@@gunsmackamigos1159 Of that, i have no doubt. A nickel break top S&W would have to be beautiful. I knew my dealer had Cimarrons coming in, but he had a LOT of Cimarrons come in. I went down there to snag a 7.5" US Cavalry model, but I fell in love with this short Pietta built gun, instead.
I have an original 1874 S&W Russian Model 3, ( Russian contract) . I'm looking for an enthusiastic collector who can preserve and make use of this great piece of History. Please do let me know if anyone is interested in buying it.
Question. For someone who prefers modern grips (S&W TRR8) on revolvers as opposed to "cowboy" style grips (58 Remington and such), would you recommend the Russian style grip or the more American style when it comes to the Model 3 reproduction?
Hello! Here’s my longwinded, over-analytical response: The Grip profile is very similar on both, but the Russian is a bit longer. My pinkie finger rests on the edge of the American, but has room to spare on the Russian. The backstrap “hump” at the top has the same feel for each, altho the Russian’s is more pronounced. The American is a little wider in the middle of the palm, and it’s rear profile is VERY slightly more rounded. I prefer the (here we go again) slightly more thicker profile of the American for my tastes. But without having a thin Hogue finger grip to compare to, I’d think the Russian would be closer to that general feel. Thanks!
@@gunsmackamigos1159 With short, sausage-like fingers and a hand about as wide as a ham, sounds like the Russian would be more my speed. On my repro '58 and my so-called pepperbox, my pinky dangles in the wind. Thanks for the info, I think I'll put some feelers out for the comm-bloc version.
@@sofakingtactical5710 Altho I prefer the American for feel and shootability for my hands, the Russian’s “cool factor” is thru the roof. You’re gonna enjoy either one!

Hi. For overall feel, I’d say the Frontier is better. But for the all important Cool Factor, I’d have to flip a coin between them. I’d lean towards the Frontier tho, if I could only keep one. Thanks!
@Ken Kaneki Hello! My take would be double actions became the “wave of the future”. The Colt Thunderer was along this line of thinking too. Single actions though, have always retained their rightful place, even today! Thanks for commenting!
Hello. There’s various places where you can find different grips for it, but I do not know if actual mechanical parts are readily available. I’d think they would be from Uberti. And I’d bet the importers Cimarron or Taylor’s & Co would help you find any.
I think this one looks better than the American counterpart.
Hi! It certainly looks more “unique” than the other Model 3’s, but I wouldn’t want to have to pick just one. Thanks for commenting!
