"Anyone know if Uberti made a Regulator .45 LC with the birdshead grip?
Was that the Cattleman? Both? "
The Cattleman is tradional SAA which has a plow handle grip.
No idea what a Regulator is.
I'm perty-sure that Cimarron and EMF both marketed a birdshead Uberti for a while, and Cimarron might still does...but I don't know what they called 'em.
......................................................................................................
"Local store has a "like new" Uberti .45LC, appears about a 4.5" barrel, blue, CCH. Idea on a value?"
It's probably a 4-3/4".
In a general sense....
Uberti's cheap models are matt-blued and/or use a brass grip frame.
Their older guns were a different breed than their newer guns....meaning that they weren't built as well, were known for soft parts which caused timing problems, and aint worth near what a late model Uberti is worth.
The problem with all that is......Both their older guns and their newer guns were/are offered in the exact finish you describe. So, unless you're very familiar with the differences in the older and newer Ubertis, it would be hard to distinguish which one you're looking at.
If you aint sure, your best bet would be to get the serial number and call Cimarron up in Fredricksberg, or get ahold of VTI gun parts. Someone at either of them two places will be able to give you a year model off the serial number. Both have a website with their contact info.
Different folks has their own idea about prices but here is what I think...
I personaly wouldn't give more than $125 for any of their older models....but wouldn't mind spending $300 or so for a clean newer model. And if it happened to be a Cimarron, I'd give ya $350 perty-quick. But that's for a Catleman SAA or Cimarron Model P.....I'm not familiar enough with the Birdshead to even guess.
Maybe this helped.
