I picked up a Uberti Colt SAA replica. My first single action "cowboy" pistol. I liked it. A bunch.
So I'm thinking of another single action revolver. But need some guidance.
My current inclination is for a Cimarron 1858 New Army .38 Special. I like .38 special 'cause all my other revolvers are 38s (99% S&Ws); it's cheap and universally available, and it's easy to reload.
I don't want another SAA look-alike and the New Army has a distinctive look and a lot of history. Uberti has a decent reputation for quality and I believe parts are available.
So my question is....is this a good choice? I will not be action shooting, it's for the range and plinking. Prices seem affordable for me (under $500) and they seem to be around.
Anything special to look for, for this type of gun? Any other options I should look for? (Schofields aren't affordable at around $900.)
