I had a chance to handle a Plinkerton today. Had never heard of it, but saw it at a local shop. Very Rodeo like... hard (teflon?) black finish, but the machining seemed very well done. For those that are not Single Six fans and want a true SAA clone in .22 LR, it might be worth looking into. Only ran about $250. Of course I couldn't shoot it, but weight and balance were spot on. It even has the blurry sights, just like a real Colt!  |

Buddy got one in his shop that a customer returned with a barrel sleeve that came loose while shooting and stuck an inch out of the barrel. He called Cimarron and the rep immediately asked if his barrel sleeve shot loose. Seems they have a reputation for doing this. I'll keep my money for used Single Sixes.

Boy, I did not think a safety could look any worse than a Winchester cross bolt safety  |

I picked up a used single six at cabelas for $200 two weeks ago.
I handled the plinkerton and was sorely unimpressed.

I saw one a while back, but I'm more happy with this ;D That's why I have about 20 Single-Sixes, and don't own a Plinkerton. When we saw our first Plinkerton, we were making fun of it pretty heartily - until we started shooting it! |

I wouldn't touch one, not even to look it over, if it had that key lock on it. That is just STUPID.
I'd buy a NM Ruger over that in a heart beat.

Mercy. That must be the worst iteration of a key lock ever devised. Ugly is a kind word for it. It would have to be a very good gun to overcome that...

Wow, that IS pretty bad.   I'd be surprised if it's completely kid-proof, too. My two boys were able to get this trigger lock apart when they were about 13, by using a couple nails & some pliers.  Too bad they didn't know where the ammo was. ;D |

What gets me is the work involved. If you can do that wouldnt you be smart enough to make a different lock?  |

Handled several this weekend. Seems that its a relabeled Heritage with the same liabilities and virtues. Save up for a used Single Six.

I don't know anything about the Cimarron, but what liabilities would you be reffering to with the Heritage, I've owned several and never had a problem with one.
