Hey Hells Comin, Was that 8.39 with or without a loaded rifle. -
"Are the Old Model frames from old stock? Will they eventually go to the Hammer safety firing pin thingy on those too?" Yes and Uberti says they will but I'm not in the war room with them and Cimarron. :-) Guess they can make any deal they want. I'm like you Doc, never shot so slow I could count the clicks after the buzzer went off. Guess I need to slow down and enjoy the guns more. :-)

For what's it's worth since our business is brought up here, I never said stay away from Pietta's. I said Uberti's have better quality control so we made a business decision to only sell and work on them through the website. We do sell Pietta's in the store. Mostly their black powder guns. As stated by others, I'll respectively ignore any further comments about me or my business. As far as the Old Model frames still having the magical 4 clicks, Rye Miles is correct.

Cimarron 1873 with or without pistol grip?

There's zero difference installing a short stroke in a straight stock or pistol grip. It can vary a little from rifle to rifle regardless of the stock configuration. Never noticed any difference in how the sights set between the two. Have notice the sights can vary a lot depending on how I mount the rifle after the buzzer goes off. :-) -

Widder, I'm not surprised either. There are guns I call campfire guns and then there are guns I call competition guns. Campfire guns = hey, look how smooth this one feels while showing it off around the campfire and not competing. The problem is a slow hammer hammer fall sets a speed limit. Competition gun = hey, look how this one functions when it counts. 'IMO, no one will every compete competitively with a campfire gun." Seems like a lot of the newer shooters are convinced they need a campfire gun when a competition gun that goes bang every time with a quick hammer fall is what's really needed. Been there done that myself. :-) -

"I credit Lead Dispenser for starting a new way to shoot CAS, I credit Badlands Bud for carrying it forward and I credit Matt Black for taking it to perfect perfection." Way to go young man!! Long Hunter -
Colt,
Dylan is perfection at it's finest. As you know, I don't post on the wire very often but I would like post if you guys are okay with it is:
"I credit Lead Dispenser for starting a new way to shoot CAS, I credit Badlands Bud for carrying it forward and I credit Matt Black for taking it to perfect perfection."
Please tell him congrats for me. He's special!! It's way past talent, it's determination coupled with a lot of hard work. He can be the new Jerry Miculek if he works with some other guns. Hope he is. Stay confident but humble. The manufactures will come knocking.
Hope we get to posse together at WR or EOT. You couldn't knock the smile off my face with a baseball bat. :-)

Those are very kind words Jim thank you very much. You are welcome to post that. We hope to posse with you as well. Dylan is shooting other sports now so there is no telling what will happen. He is extremely humble and I’m quite proud of the man he is.
thank you once again and we look forward to seeing you!
Colt and Dylan -

SS, I had a lot fun 10-15 years ago with our banter back and forth about Colt's and USFA's. Glad to hear you're doing okay. You've been a great educator for the Colt's over the years and I really appreciate it. FYI, I collect Colts now. Haha Take care, Long Hunter
