Cimmaron (Uberti) 1875 Outlaw

[jgh4445]

I'm looking really hard at them. 5.5 inch or 7.5 in 45 Colt. Dunno. Does anyone here have any experience with one in either length? If so,do they shoot POA or, are they like most Ubertis and shoot high? Haven't seen one in person yet, Are they balanced? Heavy? ( As compared to a Model P or Cattleman)

I have the nickel in 45 I have only shot it in one range trip at least at ten yards it was accurate

Mine is an Uberti but very old, 80s I think and has the old "pinched tube" front sight which made it very easy to sight in. A finely made fire arm !

Thanks for the replies. I like the front "pinched tube sight". Wish they still had something like that. Good looking handgun!

I just sold a 7.5" 2015 Uberti 1875. I had bought it for CAS and shortly after doing so was able to match a pair of Uberti Schofield replicas, so it was surplus to need. Nevertheless, it was hard to let it go. First, it's a very good looking revolver. Maintaining the loading lever rib gives it the same elegance as the 1858. It points very well and handles recoil very well. I am unfamiliar withteh Cattleman, but the 1875 is heavier than my Uberti 1858 yet feels equally lively and easy to handle. As with all Remingtons, if you have gigantic hands, the grip will be short.

Mine shot slightly high and just a touch left at 25 feet vs POA with light load 200 grs bullets over 26grs of OE 3F. As I recall, the sights are regulated for 50 ft. I would say it was a bit more regulated to point of aim at that distance than my Schofields.

Not quite sure what you mean by that. In order to define Point of Impact in relation to Point of Aim, one must define the distance one is talking about. Without stating distance, any discussion of POA vs POI is meaningless. For what it's worth, the couple of Ubertis I own do not shoot high at regular CAS distances.

Regarding the Remington 1875 revolver, I have always wanted one, but circumstances have prevented me from owning one. I have shot one a couple of times. The grip is different than the grip on a Colt. There is more space between the trigger guard and the grip than on a Colt.

Compare the grip on the photo above to the grips on this pair of 2nd Gen Colts.






Different than this Uberti Cattleman too.

Thanks Driftwood. Your responses are as usual, super relevant and correct. I normally shoot off a bench at 25 yds to simulate what I might encounter in a hunting scenario in one of my shooting houses. 25 yd shots and 50 yarders are common. Wouldn't want to stretch it any further due to my lack od skill. I usually use a 250 - 260 gr cast RNFP or Keith style bullet on top of about 7 gr of 231, Herco or Unique. I like for the bullet to impact where the top of the front sight blade sits on the target with front and rear sights level.

We got one for Dad for Christmas several years ago and it's a good one. It is very accurate, shoots right to point of aim and only took a little stone work and new springs to be slick.

It simple terms the grips are as different as peas and carrots.

I have shot the Outlaw and own a Pietta Remmie 1858 BP revolver that has the same grip. My Remmie has a 8" barrel so it is much heavier that a Colt SAA clone gun. I think the 5.5" barrel Remmie is more balanced but since I like shooting guns that are close copies of what was made in the 19th Century 8" barrel it is.

My favorite revolver is a EMF SA 7 1/2" barrel is 32-20 so I guess I prefer the grip frame of the SAA.

The Remington has more room behind the triggerguard and to me it's not as comfortable as the Colt Navy/Army.

 

[Gordon]

the increased space seems to make barrel hang heavier feeling, it's all where the center of grip is, hence was the Bisley grip invented on Colt SAA. the Rem grip is better if wearing gloves tho.
