Cimarron Model P (old model) Knowledge--UPDATE: Got IT

[needsmostuff]

I'm going to town tomorrow and see if LGS still has the pistol.

Well,,, the title looks like you bought it but ,,,, where is the pictures.
Have you had a chance to shoot it and have you made peace with the grip shape?

Well, Taylor's has one with the Thunderer grip as well. They erroneously call it "flat-top".

Many aren't aware that Rugervolk reserve that expression for any single-action revolver that does not have an adjustable rear sight. We must be patient with them pending their further experience.

Well, there was the Colt SAA Flat-top Target which Uberti also produces a replica of, so it makes no sense whatsoever.

OLD thread
Ive figured out I like Cimarrons SA's the best. I have a couple non-safety gizmo, 4 clickers . They have the smoothest actions right out of the box. Also have a old AWA 4 click . My Taylor was a safety bar gizmo that I converter with new hammer, trigger and gunslinger spring kit.

The "Swiss safety" (or SS) is on a few of my single actions including Uberti's and an Interarms Virginian Dragoon in .45 Colt. If I remember correctly the SS was invented to comply with some import restrictions of a few countries and overall it's a feel good device that can (in the case of my Interarms) lock up the action tight as a drum.

It's not needed to use and it's hard to inadvertently engage so I ignore that it's there.

Yup. Absolutely true. It's hard enough trying to keep all the Ruger nomenclature accurate without complications from those Colt guys and others.

Particularly since the Colt version is actually a flat-top frame with tap-to-adjust-for-windage rear sight in a dovetail.
