I have a 73 from Cimarron, a Henry from EMF, and a 66 from Taylors, all in 45 Colt and all are 24 1/4" barrels. The 24 1/4" barrel is probably the most common. All are identical in finish, fit & function. My 73 is 9 years old and in that time the only problem I've had is a broken elevator spring. I now keep extra springs in my gun cart. The 66 is my newest aquisition, just a few months ago. I believe that Taylors has the lowest prices. I was able to get it for about $50 to $75 less than the same one through other distributors. And yes Uberti USA is out of business as of Dec. 31, 2002, due to the sell out to Berettta. They are now VTI Parts and do not sell completed guns, just parts and they usually have the best prices on parts compared to Brownells & a few other places.
