Looking for a pair of OT 72s...38spl if possible

[Dakota Widowmaker]

I like shooting 38spl. Its cheap, easy, and fast for me.

I like the looks of the 72 opentops...have for a long time.

I am considering converting a pair of 1851s to 38spl, but, I am more interested in getting a NEW pair of 72.

Who has the best prices and availability? sequentially numbered would be a "bonus" as well.

comments? suggestions? recommendations?

My FFL dealer checked with Cimarron and they advise that they are expecting in a shipment around the first of the year.  Through my FFL dealer, I have on "Pre-Order" a pair of M-72, Open Tops in 38 Special and they indicated that cosecutive S/N's could be had.  They advised that "Pre-Order" means that when they arrive my FFL dealer will be contacted and I can make a final decision at that time.  The only question in my mind is what barrel length to get.  Any thoughts on this?

I like the balance on the 5 1/2 length, I'm only 5'7" and the extra couple of inches means closer to that arm pit draw....

The longer the better.

I have been told several times that shorter barrels are "easier to see and get a bead on", but, this has never been my case.

I shoot 6 1/2" vs.  4 1/2" <cough>Rugers<cough>  much more consistently than I thought I would.

The extra weight makes a REAL difference. (until I discovered TrailBoss...but, the weight still helps with BP)
