I have four of the Cimmaron Ubertis'. 2 .44 Colts, a .44special, and a .38.
They are '72 Opentops, not the conversion replica you post. They shoot great, are easy to disassemble to clean, and the actions are at least as smooth as my second generation Colt Navy. I haven't done it yet, but these revolvers just beg for BP (Pyrodex) cartridge loads with cast boolits. The LGS has the one your looking at, a Rogers&Mason conversion in .45Colt. Tempting.
