Man. They were just as nice as everyone says.
I saw a Rodeo, a Cowboy (actually, Rodeo II -- see below) and a full-boat Single Action. Calibers .38 Special and .45 Colt.
All very well fitted. Smooth precise action feel. The true Single Action had beautiful Turnbull color case.
The entry-level Rodeo seemed just as nice mechanically as the more expensive models -- simply with a matte finish and no color case.
I want an authentic, evocative single action for general shooting and owning (not competition). I know what brand I'm saving for now.
EDIT TO ADD: Sorry, my mistake. The second gun I saw, USFA's new mid-priced sixgun with nickel finish and wood grips, is the Rodeo II, not the Cowboy.
The Cowboy is another new mid-priced USFA model. It's like a Rodeo but with a glossy blued (rather than matte) finish.
