Nice - really like the stocks.

"spit" ding.

:? Looks mighty fine partner. Makes me want to pull out my Ruger Single Six and the holster and give it a whirl.

 

[Texas Armadillo]

Thanx for the compliments. She is purdy. I couldn't put it down last night. It "clicks so perfect" I felt like Tuco when he was in the store changing out parts until he got it to sound just right. :lol:

I've never handled one of these before last night. It took me a minute to discover the second hammer position that allows the cylinder to rotate for loading/unloading.

The stock is just the right color. It matches the other wood grips on my SIGs. I really wanted to get this gun in Charcoal Blue,

but the "matching" rifle (1873 18.5" Texas Brush Popper) I ordered doesn't come in Charcoal Blue. Cimarron said the would send the rifle off and have the dark blue removed and the Charcoal put on... for a price and long wait... nah.

After I ordered this one I saw where they make a matched set of revolvers with the same serial number except one has an R and one has an L after the number. If I would have ordered those I would have had to get 45 Colt though. I have nothing against 45 Colt, I just don't want to add another caliber to my inventory. I already have some 38spl's and I can shoot that in this one.

 

[venison-hunter]

That's Great T A! I love those old west. civil war guns!
I know it will be fun to shoot!

 

[vulcan15]

Looks sweet TA. You know how much I like western guns. That charcoal blue really stands out nice. Good job pard.

What's the word on dry firing a SA revolver from Uberti?

 

[vulcan15]

"TA"What's the word on dry firing a SA revolver from Uberti?

Well I have 2 Uberti's and have'nt seen any problem with dry firing yet. Does yours have the firing pin in the hammer? Thats the main place to keep a look at.

 

[Zhurdan]

If you have a floating firing pin, it is inadviseable to dry fire. Floating firing pins are the kind that look a little loose and usually have a spring loaded piece under the pin, lower on the hammer.

Zhur

 

[Texas Armadillo]

My firing pin is part of the hammer. Thanx for the comments.

Have ya'll heard of the "Evil Earl" trigger job? (sounds pretty corney huh?) Evidentally it is a job done by Cimarron. The triiger feels great to me the way it is, and I don't plan on cowboy shooting for a while so I think I'm good the way it is now.

 

[vulcan15]

Cimarron does make a "Evil Roy" single action pistol

I guess Evil Earl is his cousin.

 

[Texas Armadillo]

Ah! I'll bet that is what he meant. Kinda funny.

I would like to try one...

 

[Texas Armadillo]

Wow. I was surfing around looking for info on the Evil Roy trigger job...

I just found out that THSS meets less than 30 minutes from my house! And in Fredricksburg (where Cimarron is located).

I had never heard of Gunsmoke Texas! My wife and I have been to Columbus (just a mile from Gunsmoke) tons of times. We had no idea it was there.
