Engaging the Cylinder Base Pin Safety on New Model or Pre-War Frame:
To engage the cylinder base pin on this type of single action revolver, follow these
steps:
1. Move the hammer into the quarter cock (safe) position. You will hear a click and
see the top front edge of the hammer come to rest approx. 1/4” from the frame.
2. Depress the spring-loaded base pin screw (Fig. C-C/1) into the frame as far as it
will go. This will allow the cylinder base pin to move.
3. Push the cylinder base pin into the frame toward the hammer as far as it will go.
The stop ring on the cylinder base pin will be against the front of the frame and the
rear tip of the cylinder base pin will rest against the front surface of the hammer.
4. Release the spring-loaded base pin screw.
THE CYLINDER BASE PIN SAFETY IS A MANUAL SAFETY.
The cylinder base pin safety device will only work if the user
properly engages it by carefully following these instructions.
This revolver does not have an “automatic” safety; therefore,
the safety is not always on and must be engaged by the user.
By failing to properly engage this safety device, and failing to
follow safe loading practices, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
could result.
Hammer Safety Bar Safety: Some models of Uberti single action revolvers are
equipped with a hammer safety bar feature. This feature consists of a bar (see Parts
Diagram, P/N 91) that rests in a slot machined into the front surface of the hammer
below the ring pin. (Note: If your model revolver is equipped with this feature, you
can see the hammer safety bar resting in its slot when the hammer is in the half cock
(loading) position or full cock (re) position. When the hammer is moved into the
quarter cock (safe) position, a tooth on the trigger engages a slot in the bottom surface
of the hammer which causes the hammer safety bar to rotate out of its slot and away
from the hammer into a position between the hammer and the frame. When engaged,
the hammer safety bar provides a mechanical block to the forward movement of the
hammer and maintains a safe distance between the tip of ring pin and the primer of
a chambered cartridge.
THE HAMMER SAFETY BAR SAFETY IS A MANUAL
SAFETY. If your model revolver is equipped with this
feature, the hammer safety bar is engaged simply by moving
the hammer rearward into the quarter cock (safe) position.
However, this feature IS NOT engaged unless and until the
hammer is moved into the quarter cock (safe) position; it IS
NOT engaged when the hammer is in the fully forward (at rest)
position. This revolver does not have an “automatic” safety;
therefore, the safety is not always on and must be engaged by
the user or SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH could result.
