I recently bought a new Cimarron 7th Cavalry .45lc revolver and this baby is smooth. I had purchased Cimarron in the past and didn't think the difference between a Cimarron and plain Uberti was worth the money. However, this revolver is smooth out of the box with only mimimal stoning on the hammer. I was highly pleased with the near absence of machine marks in the frame. My other 3 Uberti revolvers had a few sharp burrs in the frame, and the internal parts needed stoned and polished.
I came close to purchasing a U.S.F.A. 7th Cavalry, but would have had less money for ammo. I opted for the cheaper cimarron, and glad I did. I still have hopes of purchasing a U.S.F.A revolver in the future. I would like to find a local dealer who stocks them, so I can handle one firsthand, instead of looking at photos.
