Bob I agree on the grips. Since I took that photo of my Cimarron, I have removed the polyurethane from the walnut grips and oiled them down. They now look like those from the 1800's. I always wondered "why make a replica of a peacemaker and put poly on the wood grips?" Come to think of it, all my wooden stocked firearms have an oil finish.
I see you have the same holster. Nice aren't they. Simply Rugged makes some nice cartridge pouches also. Their pancake holster, however, is not as fancy as the Mernickle. I have both brands of holster. SR's pancake does protect the gun more and I carry it in that when out in the pasture.
