I have most of the S&W "N" frame smiths. I love them, then I picked up a comentive smith (model 544) in .44-40. ok, I had to reload for it. then I picked up a 1860 open top in .44 special. now that's a accurate shooter. then came a Henry in .45 LC(yes, I've got several "N" frame smiths in .45 LC and a schoefield in .45 LC. now i"m getting real interested in these olld type guns. then a few more .44's and .44-40's, I then brought a couple of guns from Cimarron Arms, so far I've got three or four model "P";s in .45 a couiple in .44-40 , now I'm into 38-40 and just picked up 32-20 pistols and rifles. all the uberti pjistols model "P" or open top. shoot to point of aim. you just raise the front sight a little more or less to hit what your aiming at. and the Uberti's all seem to "breakin" fairly quick. as in getting a smooth action and trigger. I"ve had five or six Ruger varquos and not one shot to point of aim. infact they where so bad that I couldn't wait to get rid of them. (most in .45 but one or two in .38/357.) my 38-40 and my newest 32-20 are sweet shooting accurate pistols(that both shoot to point of aim). then I found the pedersoli lighting, now they are really nice. the one I shoot is in .44-40. but I now have a few others. I did pick up 1866's in 32-20 and 38-40. the little shooting I had with them was nice. but I'm loading my 38-40's with a 40 cal SWC for a smith revolver. I think it just a little too long. I might have to get a "lever action bullet" for loading the lever action rifles. I did get two Spencers ordered should be here Thursday, after reading all the stuff I could find on spencers I got these two in .45 schoefield. (it ain't that far from the LC.) but so far Cimarron arims has treated me nice(I haven't paid any freight yet) I haven't had to think about any warranaty work, (I do a lot of tinkering with guns myself) I had(SAA Colts many years ago, I wasn't inpressed with them at all. but smiths and wessons "N" frames are inpressive, but so far I can't see a problem with the guns from Cimarron. I picked up a trashed Bretta stamped in .45 LC. I put a Uberti barrel and cylinder on it in .44-40. and it still shoots to point of aim(ok, I only worked on lineing up the barrel for about 2.5 hours. and then I had to match the cylinder to the frame, it was an interesting project.
