They all need action work to be fit to use? What's so bad with every single make and model that they can not be used for their intended purpose out of the box? I ask as an honest question, as I have limited SA experience. I have an old model Blackhawk that I bought used. It does just fine, but it is 40+ years old and I have no idea if anything has been done to it. I also have a new model single six I bought new and it seems to be acceptable as is, but maybe I am missing something.
The issue here is that the Colt design, which dates back to the 1840's, is not really compatible with modern mass production. Coupled with the fact that Uberti is a mid-level manufacturer with very little hand-fitting, known to run their CNC machines too fast for smoothly finished parts and you have a revolver that needs a little professional help to keep from eating itself alive. The heavy factory springs exacerbate the problem. The difference being that Bill Ruger designed his guns FOR mass production. By contrast, USFA also used mostly CNC machinery to produce their guns but they ran them slow, changed their cutters often and the result is a finely crafted revolver that does not need an action job to survive.
...I can tell you that the Colt SAA's of the last 10yrs are the best they've ever made. I ought to know, I'm the one that does the action work. I can also tell you there's no difference between the guns marketed by Cimarron, Taylor's, EMF, Dixie Gun Works or Stoeger (Uberti house brand). Up to this point, the ONLY folks I've ever heard say that Cimarrons were better, were those who didn't know any better and were just repeating what they'd heard...
The problem with your posts is not your knowledge or accuracy, but that you intentionally set up an adversarial relationship, regardless of the topic (or posters) from the beginning of your first post on a subject to all your posts that follow. It seems your goal is not to spread knowledge but rather to fight and piss everyone off.
Go back and read my first post in this thread. There is nothing confrontational about it, even though EE and I already had an adversarial relationship. Unlike you guys, I'm here to talk about guns and debate the message, not attack the messenger. If I am automatically defensive, you guys made me that way.
If I'm such an A-hole, why did you and 4ager join my forum???
