He was a stickler for correctness though and this gun looks and has all the features of it's black powder brother, but shoots .38 special. Clint Eastwood carried the gun in all 3 movies. Uberti still makes the gun and it's sold under the name " The man with no name" as Eastwood never had a name in those movies. This is one of my favorite guns to shoot in my collection. It's just a fun gun to shoot and is really accurate.
thanks for the info. this is what i am getting when i buy another pistola. i found the uberti web page and checked it out. .38 special is exactly the caliber i was looking at and this piece would satisfy my desire to have something a little bit different.

again, thanks.
