Hi all,
First real post on this board, though you may recognize the handle from other boards, where I've been for years. I'm hoping "The High Road" lives up to its name.
I'm in the market for a .45 Colt "plinker". Not going to do load development or hunting with it, just want to experience the platform. I already own a couple of SAs, this would just be icing on the cake.
I've been steered toward the Cimarron Model P as a good entry level Colt SAA style shootin' iron. After looking at these I actually prefer the finish on the lower priced "Pistolero" or "Badlands" models. My question is, are these models basically as strong as the "case hardened look" standard Model P? They both have brass grip frames, but again, I'm not planning on stressing this gun with hot loads.
Any experience with these models?
