A. Uberti, Srl. is an Italian manufacturer of replica American firearms.
Uberti produces high quality replicas of American percussion revolvers, cartridge revolvers, single-shot, and lever-action rifles.
Aldo Uberti founded his company in the foothills of the Italian Alps during in 1959 to recreate the famous firearms of the past. He first made the Colt designed black powder revolvers and later moved on to Remington and Winchester designs. It was during this era that Colt ceased production of their famous Single Action Army or "Peacemaker" revolvers. In 1960 Italian movie director, Sergio Leone, came to consult Aldo Uberti to find the Old West guns he needed for what would become known as “spaghetti westerns”. These movies would also promote worldwide interest in the guns of the American West.
Today Uberti targets collectors, cowboy action shooters, and civil war skirmishers. Uberti also produce frames, cylinders, and barrels for several other companies like Beretta (their parent company), Cimarron Arms, Taurus, Charles Daly, and Navy Arms.
