I finally got my friend at the LGS to take something in trade towards this. He's had it sitting NiB in his counter for 2-3 months. After that amount of time, he gets more willing to make a deal.
I've been wanting a shorter barreled SA revolver for a while now. This one is 4.75". I've very much admired some of the ones y'all have been posting lately.
It's a Cimarron, so it was made by Uberti in Italy.
This particular one doesn't have any of the newer safety features, but I didn't want any of that, anyway.
This is my only SAA replica ATM. I gave my other one to my FiL, and the rest of my SA revolvers are Rugers.
Its intended purpose is just range toy, but I grew up with a Single Six and still shoot SA revolvers pretty often...
If anyone else has one or more of the Italian 357 replicas and knows what sorts of ammo they prefer, please let me know.
Anyone have a favorite belt and holster rig they'd like to suggest?
Also, does anyone out there still carry one? I don't necessarily plan on it, but I've been a SA revolver fan forever and could carry it while hiking with my teenaged daughter sometimes. If someone carries one concealed or semi-concealed, I'd be interested in hearing what kind of carry rig you use. (We always hike with our large pit bull mix rescue doggy, so whatever I carry is kinda like a BUG.)
The finish and trigger are very nice. I may put some prettier grips on it eventually.
Probably can't take it shooting until next weekend. I'll type up a range report after I do.
Thanks to everyone who inspired my latest purchase!
