Cimarron Arms?

[Mike Pierce]

Is there a differance between Cimarron Arms & Uberti or is Cimarron just the importer for Uberti? Looking at a 1858 Remington, blued, finding one from both.

Mike in the past ,Cimmarron had a better external finish.They use to claim that they selected all there products from Uberti.I have worked on numerous single actions over the years,found no difference internally.I would save some money and just buy the Remmy from a good uberti distributor.Hope this helps..Respectfully Montanadan

I suspect that Uberti quality across the board is about the same especially since they went under the same ownership as Beretta. Cimarron does do a few extra things. On the sAA "model P", the cimarron logo is on the barrel address line and the case color treatment is extra special. they also inspect the guns to see if they actually work before sending them out.

I've had excellent with plain Uberti percussion revolvers. Many of them come in Taylor and Company boxes.

MEC-that is refreshing,someone actually checks to see if the pistol is going to work.Remember the old CB pistols?Those days it was a manure shoot at best!respectfully Montanadan

very true. Now you can just about count on perfect timing and good barrel and cylinder dimensions. Parts/springs last longer too. The guns feel a bit rough right out of the box but you get this even with new smith and wessons. everything settles in after just a bit of shooting.
