Uberti vs taylors vs cimarron

Recommended Posts

I'm in the market for a single action 1873 cattleman style revolver. I like Uberti's El Parton which Taylor's calls the Smoke Wagon and Cimarron calls the Evil Roy. Which is the best. I like the color case hardened frame and blued cylinder, barrel, and lower frame. Taylors seems to be lacking in the color case hardening finish.

Everything comes from Italy.  Taylor's is an Importer, and so is Cimarron.  Each order thousands of units per year, so they each get some "special treatment", such as allowing the ordering of case-hardening, special finishes (like the Charcoal Blue of my Son's Colt 1860 Army with fluted cylinder) and the like.  It is widely known that Cimarron demands the highest quality control, and therefore their guns are sought-after, so the price is slightly higher than Taylor's.  All of my Cap-N-Ball Revolvers are Uberti's and were imported by Taylor's.  Fit and finish are excellent!

 

Here's how I look at the slight differences:  If Cimarron oders say 100 units of type X and Uberti knocks-out 150, Cimarron gets the best 100.  The other 50 go to places like Taylor's.  Are they all the same?  Maybe some days they ARE, and the boxes just get shipped to different Importers.  The quality control these days is exceptional, so it's awfully hard to buy a bad Uberti!

 

FWIW:  When Colt reintroduced some of their old Cap-N-Ball revolvers, they shipped all of the parts to Uberti in Italy for inspection and assembly!  So the third generation Colts are all made right along side the rest of the Uberti's.....

 

Friend of mine has a Cattleman in .45 LC and it's a SWEET shooter!

 

You can't go wrong with an Uberti!

Thanks Dave. Have you been to range 14 (fort dix)? I noticed you dont live far.

 

I've been to Dix Range 14 just twice.  Not "in love" with target changes every 20 minutes.  Takes too long and my rhythm gets interrupted.  Much prefer to go to Old Bridge!  If you ever want to go let me know...

      I have been asked to run a class to prepare people for carrying a defensive firearm by my home range, Phillipsburg Pistol club.
      It will be held on August 6th, from noon until approx. 4pm.
      We will cover safe use of a holster and a number of defensive shooting techniques.
      The class will finish with running each student through HQC1 and a certificate will be provided for those that achieve a passing score.
      It is open to all, but members of Phillipsburg Pistol Club will have spots reserved for them.

      I'm a new-new member whose been lurking around NJGF for at least a year.
       
      Optics planet.com is my new favorite destination for accessories. They fulfill via amazon.com, so if youre an Amazon Prime member 2-day shipping is free for everything they sell. Shop direct thru opticsplanet.com the choose checkout via Amazon and select value shipping (it's not the default option). The shipping zeros out and you're good to go. They don't seem to promote this at all on their own site but their products show up on amazon searches with Prime shipping but their site within amazon isn't easy to search. I used it last week to get a hard Plano rifle case and the $36 shipping zeroed out.
       
      Anyway their SERPA deal right now is awesome
