    They are Italian made pistols and rifles, Cimarron is just an importer...the guns are made by Uberti in Italy....decent quality, I have a few Ubertis and have not had any problems with them.

    Cimmerons German gunsmiths in Fredricksberg, Texas; do the final fit and finish...outstanding quality, for the money...

    hidebuyer,

    Pretty good quality. Most are as I understand it 'finished out' by Cimarron. But, they do have some firearms built for them by other makers as well as Uberti.

    Well worth checking their site out:

    Not all are given final fit and finish here in USA.

    I have two cimarrons I use in cowboy Action shooting. They are the "Lightning" model in .38/.357. I have used them pretty heavily for the last 7 years and have had absolutely no problems with them. They were used when I bought them, showing signs of long use, but NO abuse. Well taken care of. I love them.

    Side by side with the surprising number of makers and remarketers for variations on the Colt 1873, I thought the Beretta Stampede had the best fit and finish and a barely used one cost me the same as a new Cimarron, Uberti, EMF, etc.. Beretta owns Uberti now but either these are made in separate factories or separate manufacturing cells as the Beretta quickly stands out. It functions quite well out of the box while I've heard a lot of the clones need some work from a gunsmith.

    If $1300 doesn't faze you, the Colt "1873 Colt" from their custom shop now looks and functions even better...it also looks superior to the previous Colt 1873's of the past 30 years. Handled one at the SHOT Show (along with just about everybody's Colt clones and there were dozens.) It's really nice and looks worth the money (very nice color-case hardening/blued combination.)

    Nothing separate. Uberti rollstamps are pulled from the machines, and replaced with Beretta rollstamps when they wish to do a run of Beretta's.

    The "worker bees" are then instructed to perform a higher grade of polishing..and the firing mechanism is more carefully inspected for tolerances. C/H and blueing is routine. It's all in the polish room prep. Best, Joe
