Ok guys...I rely on your professional and learned knowledge as I'm fairly new to the cowboy action guns..I traded my 1873 7 1/2 inch 45LC cimarron model P for a stoeger uberti 1875 outlaw, and I learned from that mistake..I got rid of the outlaw and got another 1873 cimarron..but I noticed this one is identical to the one I had except it has a half moon ejector instead of the bulls eye one, and a side spring cylinder release pin..I was wondering...is this accurate from the 1870-1880 period?? and is the earlier model better??, and if any of you know..when did they do that upgrade ?..I was a bit dissapointed with the difference, but didnt notice it until I got it home.

Thanks
