HOWDY PARDNERS ,HOPE EVERYONES ENJOYIN THEMSELFS ON THIS GREAT DAY.WELL I HAVE THE OPT.TO GET A CIMMERRON 357 STAINLESS STEEL 4 3/4 BARREL, THE GUN SEEMS TO BE AS TIGHT AS MY BRAND NEW CIMMERRON THE CYCLINDER HAS NO SCRAPES OR WEAR MARKS, THE GRIPS ARE LIKE WALNUT OR OAK AND THE FIT  SEEMS TO BE GOOD TOO. EVERYTHING WORKS ON THE DRY RUN BUT WOULD LIKE ANY HELP FOR THINGS TO LOOK FOR, BECAUSE IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT,IT'S USED FOR $390.....HE ALSO HAS A TAURUS NEW 375cal FOR ALITTLE MORE $425, IT LOOKED PRETTY NICE TO ME IT HAD A 5.5 BARREL NICKEL OR SS DONT KNOW WHICH,BUT LOOKED REAL GOOD.RUGER BLACKHAWK 5.5 USED WHICH I HATE THERE SITES SO BLA.THE PHOTO IS LIKE THE USED CIMMERRON FOR $390 ARE THE TAURUS THAT BAD OR WERE PARTS HARD TO COME BY NOW.ANY HELP APP.

That picture looks like a nickled Model P.  The stainless guns are more of a satin finish.  That price on the used stainless gun is good.  They list new for $609 (dealer $469).  The stainless Model P's do not have a removeable cylinder bushing, but I don't think they have a problem with fouling with BP.  Lots of mounted shooters use them. 

I haven't owned a Taurus; you read about a few horror stories but also some folks like theirs very much.  However, Taurus has discontinued that gun so I'm not sure what that will mean for parts availability in the future.

The Blackhawk is a fine gun.  The adjustable sights of course put you in Modern class if you shoot it in SASS.

I'm sure someone will add "buy them all"

I doubt they're going to drop the .357 caliber anytime soon. It just may be there are more of them out there. As far as Taurus goes, yes there were problems with them. I've been to two gun shows in the last couple weeks and the Gaucho's there were up on reduced prices, one guy had them marked at  $50 off ticketed price. Blued guns were ticketed at $325...............Buck

   Now I could be wrong,Ive been wrong before and will be again.If that is a picture of the actual pistol,It looks to me to be a nickled Bretta,not a mod.p. You might want to check to be sure.     Adios  Sgt. Jake

The pic could be a Cimarron (nickle), because they recently added the gold emblem on the grip to the pre-war models.

Close, and just as an FYI, Beretta bought Uberti.
