I have been following a couple of threads on the expensive Pedersolli hammer double from Cimarron and have had some owners tell me it is actually a better gun than the Pioneer was, any opinions on this. When the cash outlay for new AND used guns rise above a thousand dollars, I really slow down and proceed with caution!!! I am also thinking , after watching the Pioneer videos, that some of the few guns they produced were pre-cowboy and much stiffer than the last few?? Anyone heard any ideas on how long the military contract will keep them away from Pioneer project?
