Uberti 1873 Cattleman AND Cimarron Model P

[Southern Shooter]

The Cimarron website states that their Model P "has long been the most authentic and highest quality reproduction of the 1873 Colt®."

I have a low-end Uberti 1873 Cattleman Millennium which has a brass grip/trigger guard and matte finish. Other than those two features and, in the case of the above image, the round button style on the ejector of the Old Model P, I have a difficult time seeing any differences between this gun and the Cimarron Model P claiming to be the most authentic replica.

What differences are there between the Uberti 1873 Cattleman and the Cimarron Model P ?

I have two Uberti's and a Beretta Stampede. All are great well made revolvers. I have not handled the Cimarron but would assume it is made with the same attention to detail as the Ubertis. To me they represent vary good value and I doubt you can go wrong with either.

I am currently looking to buy another El Patron. This Uberti model has wider front sights making it much easier for me to see with my seasoned eyes. LOL

Take Care

I have both and to me there isn't much difference aside from finish

I own the Cattleman (great gun) and have fiddled with the other models and, other than finishes (AND price!!) I cannot really feel the difference in action. But I have not shot the other ones. I would figure since they are built from the the same set of drawings, functionality would be identical.

It all in the "glitz and glamour" you are after!
