I noticed a Cimarron (Uberti) Thunderer 4.75" .45 Colt under the counter at a somewhat local gun store the other day. I picked it up and checked it out and it felt pretty good. I like that 4 clicks while cocking the hammer. I put it down after checking things over and did some other shopping. As fate would have it, I came back the next day and the Thunderer followed me home. That story has played out time and time again. It's like feeding a puppy and you got a friend for life.
I have been checking around for reloading dies and .45 Colt ammo but have been shot down at 5 local shops. My ammo stash has 2 boxes of Ultramax and 2 boxes of Winchester Cowboy loads. There is another 2 boxes of Remington 225 grain but they will be used for the two older model Vaqueros. I'm not sure offhand if they are two hot for the Thunderer. Those two guns were bought used and I never thought I was a good shot with them. Hopefully the Cimarron will bring things back on target.
I'm still looking for a traditional 1873 SAA clone with probably a 5.5" barrel but will wait a month or two. It will involve a 180 mile trip but I'm sure something will be following me home again.
