Dustin from Guns of the West discusses a firearm purchase he regrets: the Uberti reproduction of the Wells Fargo .31 caliber pocket model. While acknowledging Uberti's quality and the firearm's functionality, he expresses disappointment due to settling for it instead of holding out for the Colt 1849 Pocket Model with a loading lever. He details the less convenient loading process of the Wells Fargo model, which requires barrel and cylinder removal.
Dustin from Guns of the West discusses his top three 'worst' cap and ball revolvers, emphasizing that he still likes these firearms. He ranks the Lamat (9-shot, .44 caliber) third due to bulkiness and fragile parts, the Uberti Wells Fargo (.31 caliber) second for being underpowered and requiring cylinder removal for loading, and the Pietta 1851 Navy (.44 caliber, brass frame) first, citing the brass frame's inadequacy for the caliber and its deviation from the original 1851 Navy's specifications.
