Folks, I'm considering buying a single action replica 1873 revolver and am down to 2 models. I am looking at the Uberti El Patron model and the Taylor's & Co. Runnin' Iron model.
I am wanting one for collection purposes (to have while I watch old westerns) and to do some occasional plinking. I know that these are basically upgraded Uberti's, but in terms of quality, which one would you recommend and why?
Again, I won't be doing any cowboy action shooting, but would like a nice looking, quality revolver that I can keep and pass down when the time comes. I like the lowered hammer on the Runnin' Irons, but also like the Wolf springs on the El patrons. Any feedback would be helpful. Also, is there any issue with the Taylor's & Co. Runnin' Iron that I need to be aware of regarding "blanks"? I heard that you have to specify what you will be shooting from it. Thanks in advance!
