OK, I'm looking into my next purchase and I have several options. For those that are very different, or for types of guns, it is easy (well, easier) to decide between them. However, some get so close that it is very tough.
Anyway, there are three types of Cimarrons that I am considering. Which would you suggest and why?
I was looking at the 1872 Open Top. Absolutely beautiful gun, and different, but with just a very narrow sight notch. I could get it in .44 Russian (.44Colt), .45 Schofield, 44-40 (I think) or .44Spl.
I'm also considering the Artillery Model or a used Model P in .45 Colt or (if new) I might also consider .357mag (I have a few .357s and it could share ammo with them). The Artillery Model, while basically a standard SAA clone like what everyone has, is at least a little different. The Model P is, well, a pretty standard SAA clone, but since I'm considering a used one it is fairly cheap. These are pretty nice and they are pretty guns.
I'm also considering a Remington 1875 clone. I can't find it on the website, I don't know if they just don't have it up, if it is brand new to them so it isn't up yet or if it is discontinued. Anyway, this still has the classic "old west" look to it, while it is also a little different. Being an owner of a blackpowder 1858 New Army clone I am a fan of the Remington look and this one looks great. It is also in .45LC.
Any favorites? Are any of these really any better or worse than the others?
Also, if it is significantly better or worse I am considering a EMF clone instead. Any feedback on them?
If I make this purchase it will likely be in the next few days (I need to set up the transfer of the M57 I bought online earlier this month).
