Just got this one delivered yesterday after a three month back order wait. It is a Cimarron/Uberti with charcoal blue finish.
I have been wanting an 1860 for sometime without the cut out frame for a shoulder stock, so I finally just gave in to my desire and orderd one :grin:
Having owned several Uberti revolvers for quite a few years, I have to say this pistol is the cleanest one so far. All of the milling is crisp with very few burs left behind. The internal parts are well finished and the trigger pull is very good and crisp. Was also pleased with the external fit and finish.
Tore it down last night and cleaned up all the metal debri that the manufactures leave behind and then spent some time doing a bit of extra finish work to the internals. Yet this is the first Italian copy that I have not done any work to the sear or hammer notch. Trigger pull really is pretty nice for off the shelf.
Prior to getting at the work around the property today, I snapped a few virgin pics and then just had to fire a few rounds out of it. Shoots good for windage but hits with the typical high with aimed fire. As with several of my other Colt copies, this one will be an easy fix by deepening and opening up the hammer notch.
Shot the following two groups in the below photos off hand at 20 yards. I also fired six rounds at one of my 8x8 inch metal gongs from 35 yards with great success.
I am well pleased with the overall condition of this piece. It is a well put together pistol and as I have said before, the 1860 is my favorite revolver of them all.
