    Dang it, My Bad....I thought I proof read it ok but missed that one....Now it's fixed.... To answer your question, the Cimarron coyboy edition comes with rainbow multi color case hardening, pink stocks and a genuine Dietrich autograph on the extra long 10 inch bull barrel.....My Cimarron COWBOY .45 pistol is the extra macho delux Clint Eastwood edition, came with a bull whip and a plug of chaw in a mahogany coffin shaped box engraved with Go Ahead, Make My Day on the lid.....Just between you and me, I do use the red nail polish on my toenails but don't tell anybody ok...

      I would like to cast a vote for a reloading forum on Kahrtalk...I don't know anyone personally that reloads so everything I know by now is from reading and or trial/error...I trust you guys and many of you have a great deal of experience in the hobby...I'll share one thing I learned the hard way, I have a .44 mag that I load for as well as a Cimarron cowboy peacemaker clone .45 colt that I also load for and I was always concerned that a mag load might somehow end up in the peacemaker and Ka-boom it so i borrowed some red nail polish from the wife and would paint a red stripe across the bottom of the case and primer on all .44 mag or .44 Special cases both new and reloads...When ever we would shoot both guns the rule is no red rounds go into the peacmaker and none allowed out of the box while the peacemaker was out of the bag...Now this worked very well at preventing a Ka-boom but while I thought the nail polish would if anything seal the primers on the .44 cases, it ruined most of them...I later found out that most of the several boxes of painted cases were duds due to dead primers...Had to spend way too much time pulling bullets and repriming/re assembling rounds due to my mistake...I now size and deprime the .44 shells and use a red sharpie to color the bottom of the cases then prime the cases without anything getting on the new primers...So far has worked just fine....Oh well, live and learn and when reloading always play it safe and triple check everything you do....
      Yup a reloading section would be cool. I do the sharpie thing as well but more to identify my cases on guns that fling em on the ground. I still pick up every piece of brass that I can find but I know the history on the ones with marks and scrutinize the unknowns.
      I usually just keep ammo boxes well marked and keep what I'm shooting away from the ones in the holding pattern. I think you'd notice if you dropped a 44 in the 45Colt.
      We had a citizens academy where people get to do alot of stuff the officers do. One of the days is range day. They let them shoot my pet HK Supressed MP5 which always jazzes folks shooting full auto. Moron instructors took up a box of trash ammo, mixed hodge podge and let the citizens load the mags themselves. Not pretty. Twice they loaded a 38S&W (38 short), 1 40 got into the mix. Then they shot it a ton without cleaning the suppressor?:31::31: Took me all day to finally get it off. I sometimes question the judgement of grown men who should know better. I could have easily supplied a couple cases of practice ammo........oh well!

          It is easier than you might think as there's not much difference between a .44 mag case and a .45 LC....I put an empty .44 mag case in the Cimarron and I could see it happening if the shooter wasn't paying attention....I did have this happen one time, I took my older son and some of his friends shooting one day...They all had either no experience or very little....One guy wanted to shoot the Cimarron and so I showed him how to load 5 and hammer down on an empty chamber...He shot those 5 and wanted to go again so I said ok load her up which he did BUT with .45 ACP rounds...The first two fired then the recoil got the other 3 down the chamber far enough to miss the firing pin...It didnt hurt the gun that I can tell but I sure am glad those were not hot +p rounds or the result would have been real bad....I learned that day to only have one gun out at a time with the correct ammo on the bench with no other caliber within reach....So far, So good using that method....
