Ok, I'm getting two more lever guns, either today or Monday.

First one is an 1873 in 44-40. Maybe an Uberti, cimarron, emf, or Taylor. I heard they all are Ubertis with different specs I don't fully know. Pricewise I could care less. But I heard the fit and finish of Uberti and Cimarron is a bit better than the rest. Hmm.. I'll probably go with Uberti since Cimaroon and Taylor's website seems incomplete and I have to buy catalog to see details about their product?

Another one is 1892 in 357/38spl. Since Uberti doesn't make this model, I guess I'll go with either Cimarron, EMF or Taylor, whichever one in stock. EMF seems to be a lot cheaper. It's probably because it's made in Brazil(Rossi) instead of Italy (Armi sport -- and it's crazy Euro$)? Or quality? The stock on the Italian-made one seems more attractive. Again, I wish these company update their website to include more details and pictures. That'll definitely make research a bit easier. Now I have to rely on you guys

Please let me know if I'm making a bad decision here.

My friend told me to slow down. The problem is I slowed down already !
