Cimarron's new American model!

[Black River Smith]

With Tuolumne's description, we now have 3 different styles/pattern for the 44 stampings.  It appears that all --- Will handle a 44Spec, Colt and Russian cartridges.

WOW!   Very interesting and wonder why.

I still want one.

4th monthly match and still no misses. Don't much care at this point how it has been stamped. 'Sweetie-pie' shoots straight on and I'm a very happy trigger squeezer.

Couldn’t think of a better place to put this. Last night I watched Conagher starring Sam Elliot made in 1991. At first I thought it was an American he was carrying and shooting as it had an American barrel. Later in closeups of it his holster I saw it had the Ordinetz frame. What really surprised me is that I have one just like it too.

I am hooked.  Trying to arrange an 8" to go with my 5" American.  Ordered more 44 Russian brass and Cheyenne Pioneer Cartridge 44 Russian boxes from Buffalo Arms, and 246 grain 44 Russian slugs from Bear Creek.  I have some brass, dies, powder, primers, and already have 5 of the vintage 44 Russian boxes. 

In the past, I have had an original No 3 Russian, and T&E a Uberti No. 3 Russian, but didn't care for the grips.  I love the American's (and Schofields) plow handle grip, but I think better sights than the Schofields sights.  I had a terrible time with the Schofield and sighting.

".... In the past, I have had an original No 3 Russian,..."

Being as how TL brought it up    Here is that very original No 3 Russian he mentioned that he passed on to me. He sent those boxes along too.
And its side kick my Uberti NM #3.

I was wondering what my American would be like with a shorter barrel. I took the barrel off of my Russian and put it on my American and there you go. I like the 8” barrel much better. Not to mention it looks cool. We all know cool looking guns shoot better don’t we.

So quick question to those of you that have the Cimarron American.

Do you have any play between the barrel and frame when the gun is locked closed?
I sent mine back with this problem and just got it back today with no change.

there is a couple thousandths of vertical movement. Ugh I'm so disappointed. If they are all like this I will live with it. This gun is still unfired and I'm preparing to make a call and send it back again. The only note with it was they "refit pivot screw". I wanna shoot this gun so bad but don't want it to beat itself even more loose.

Thoughts?

      Greetings, SpeedBallAlice:

   My Navy Arms Schofield, when acquired new in the early '90s, had a noticeable amount of play at the pivot, but lock-up was satisfactory. I sold it when I bought my Old Model American 5" / .45C; the OM has no discernible play.
