Well at long last I have my cimarron model P 7th cavalry! What a beauty she is! Cell phone pictures don't do it justice of course, excellent fit and finish. The wood to metal and metal to metal fit is 120% better than my stoger import uberti. Shoots great too, action is slicker than a greased hog. The Gent who go it for me (great guy and a Cowboy action shooter) said it has the best fit and action hes seen in a long time. Said something about this one already has the series two spring upgrades in it "wouldn't do a dern thing to it" and "it's perfect right out of the box."
With 200gr american cowboy loads it shoots a hair low at 15 yards, but windage is dead on. One handed every string was the size of a baseball or a tad smaller. I'm sure that will tighten up with a little more shooting and some good home brew ammo. It's about as correct as I think you can get to an old model P. Pinched sights, bullseye ejector, old style checkering on the hammer, no hammer block safety like my other ubertis (still has the 2nd slot extended cylinder pin as per the stupid import laws.) historically correct markings. I love it, couldn't be happier.
the fine pinched sights I prefer over the later style wide square notch
the tasteful colt style roll mark and fine hammer checkering
Company marking, inspectors stamp and period style SN. I had my fingers crossed for an I Company marked pistol, but one from the command of Capt. Yates will do just fine
