Hopalong Strong-
Everybody has their preference... I have chosen Uberti. I have two 7.5" barrels; one is a Cattleman and the second one is a Cimmaron Custer Model. Both are Old Frame Models. The Cattleman came OOB with those silly safeties on the hammer and that ridiculious ASM Cylinder Pin. The Custer Model did not have. Both Models as they came ROB were VERY STIFF. I did my own action work. I removed those silly safeties on the Cattleman's hammer and replaced the ASM Cylinder Pin, replaced the Trigger/Bolt Spring with Wollf Wire Springs and replaced the Hammer Springs with Wollf. The hammer Springs I highly polished. Both revolvers had Coil Spring Hands retained by a small screw in the frame. I removed the screws and threw them away, the coil springs are now held in place by the Backstrap. By doing away with those screws the cylinder moves much easier now. I did have a PROBLEM with the Cattleman after firing it alot. The hammer pin over time caused the frame where the firing pin hole is... to "pucker out" and this would cause the revolver to jam when you tried to cock it. The "PUCKER" was not that visable with naked eye, but when you moved a flat diamond file over the pin hole, you could see how the metal around the hole had pushed out. If you buy Uberti's you might want to remember this. Other than that one incident, they have both done well in CAS. Also be advised that the Wollf Trigger/Bolt Springs are fairly weak, and the trigger is really a hair trigger. I am pleased with both.
