P.S. About 40 years ago I had an Italian copy of the 1860 Army. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it. That was then, this is now.
Comments?
Not crazy at all. I hear the Cimarron are well fit and finished.
My first handgun was a (very) used "1960 New Model Army" Belgian made Colt replica. It was a hoot to shoot and there's always the 'romance' of shooting a Civil War arm, even if it's a replica. I traded that away years ago (they're quite collectible, now) but still have a Japanese made reproduction 1861 Springfield Rifled Musket that hasn't seen powder for a couple of decades.
Buy it, shoot it, enjoy it. One recommendation - get the steel framed version.
