Mr. Beliveau did an excellent video on Cimarrons model P a while back..

And subsequently a 7 &1/2" is at the top of my short list this year, as I do not have one. I really like some of features on the 1st generation pistols. Round end ejector in light of the crescent type, and the fine, tapered sights. Now, I'm buying one strictly to shoot the heck out of. But I'm not a purest on the pistol. Black powder frame or crosspin doesn't really matter. But even though I plan on doing quite a bit of black powder reloading this year, I still have a lot of smokeless to shoot up. I'm thinking I'd really like to add a 44-40 to the collection, as I don't have any. But a 44 special would work also, as I already have boat loads of brass and the dies.
The ejector I could change myself, so the sights are the most important I guess. All of mine so far are Stoger imported Ubertis, with the exception of one pietta that I sold time ago. I though about maybe trying Cimarron or Taylors for a nicer finish? I've also looked at a couple USFAs, but don't really want to spend the extra $700 + for one that I could spend on reloading supplies or factory ammo. Although I'm sure the quality would be worth it I kick myself every time I see one for passing over a mint condition Rodeo for $450 several years back.
