'66 Trapper

[Outrider #72622]

What's up guys?  I'm new around these parts but I have been reading the loads of info in the special interest sections.  Seems like a lot of well informed cowboys.  I do have some questions that I can't find in a previous thread.  If some of you guys would help me, it would be greatly appreciated.  I am thinking of getting a '66 Trapper in .38, actually it's a Cimarron.  My questions are to anyone that has one or shot one of the Cimarron Yellow Boy Trappers.  1)  Does it REALLY hold 10 rounds (125-158 gr)?  2)  Is the barrel 16" or 16.5"?  & 3)  How do they shoot as far as accuracy on the farther targets?
Thanks ahead of time boys!

First you won't go wrong with a Cimarron .... good choice

from their website:
Caliber:
 45 LC, 44/40, .357 Mag.
Magazine Capacity:
10 Rounds
Barrel Length:
16" Round

I had the SRC in 38 in the early eighties, great little shooter , no issues.

as far as accuracy on the farther targets.... what's farther ? 100 yards ? 200 ?  it's a light bullet after all, subject to cross wind etc.
and will be effected muzzle velocity.

The new manufacture (the last 18 months) '66 Trapper holds 10 rounds.  Barrel length will vary about 1/4 inch, but nominal dimension is 16 inches.  In other words, it may be as long as 16 1/4.
I have hit a standard "man" silhouette at 200 meters with a 16" barrel Trapper with boring regularity..

Was the man silhouette the same size as the buffalo hunter in Lonesome Dove?
