I'm looking to buy my first single action revolver and need a bit of help. I'm quite familiar with semi auto models and manufacturers, but know very little about single action. My experience shooting single action is limited to a few hundred rounds through my father-in-law's Ruger single six.
I'm willing to spend up to about $1000.
What I'd like to buy is an 8" 1858 New Model Army conversion mostly because I think it looks really great. It probably doesn't balance or shoot as well as some others, but that's OK. What is not OK is a gun that has quality issues.
I've read that both Uberti and Cimarron have reliability issues. Is this true? Is it true that Cimarrons are made by Uberti on dedicated equipment to higher standards?
Are there any options beyond Uberti and Cimarron for an 1858 style revolver?
Thanks in advance.
