What's the Difference?

Well, since you asked:

 

The Cattleman from Uberti (Stoeger) and Taylors (and Dixie) should be identical. Comparing either to the Cimarron Model P has the following differences:

 

1. Model P has the Colt-style hammer. Cattleman has "hammer-block safety" hammer, with a wedge on hammer face below firing pin, a screw on top of hammer, slot on back of hammer, and rod through center of hammer to the safety notch. (note: the higher-end Taylors guns like the Smokewagon and Runnin' Iron have the Colt-style hammer).

 

(the rest are cosmetic)

 

2. Model P has charcoal blue screws. Cattleman has regular blued screws.

 

3. Model P has caliber markings as originals. Cattleman varies.

 

4. Model P has same font as originals on barrel address. Cattleman varies.

 

5. Model P has darker case colors on frame. (This is within the last few years)

 

6. Model P has extraneous proof marks (those not required by law to be visible) hidden under ejector housing and triggerguard. Cattleman varies.

 

Internally I would say they are the same. There were previous innovations (coil hand spring, better steel for cylinder and barrel, bevels on cylinder, case colored hammer, Colt-style checkering on hammer spur) that were originally only on Model P's but now are on all Cattlemen as far as I know.

A few years ago I had 1 from each CIMARRON

EMF

UBERTI

That is the only difference.

Color case was deeper on the Cim, null on the UBERTI

 

All .357 4 3/4

 

The EMF ended up needing a cylinder $ 100

 

 

Other than that the were fine guns until the GWIIs came along :lol:

Sorry I took so long to get back to the post. Thanks for your responses Pards.

 

Abilene, thanks for your detailed anaylisis of the Mod. 'P' vs the other two mfgrs. I think you have steered me towards the Cimmarron.
