Just wondering as I see 4 or 5 dealers selling Cimarron's American Model on auction sights, all in 45 Colt, from $998 to $1178 and dealer price is $921 and I am on the list for a 44 S&W or Spl. and find it strange that Cimarron is known for saying their firearms are like the originals, and they are, and the first caliber they come with is the 45 Colt instead of a 44 caliber as the originals. I have dealt with Cimarron for many years, and now find it hard to find a Conversion straight from them in 44 Colt. It's just I have never seen and we all know that there never was an S&W American, 73, or 66 Winchester in 45 Colt caliber. , and none of the rifles were in 44 S&W for that matter, only 44 Rimfire and 44/40 WCF. I have seen in the past years everyone is going to the 45 cal. and understand why. Just wondering why we in CAS are not staying closer to the original calibers and I know they are a little harder to reload and I hope I did not unset any 45 cal. shooters just my thoughts. I shoot many 45 SAAs myself.
Thanks
