Have dealt with both a LOT. Cimarron guns are a bit better than others. Uberti makes guns for MANY distributers and they have many different grades. Cimarron sells the top of Uberti's line and once they get them in their hands they go through them and fix any kinks or smooth out the actions. I have a Cimarron 1873 open top 38spl and it has an action as smooth as butter. The only one smoother is Navy Arms IMHO. Dixie is a great company however they are not in the "hand" select business and sell what uberti ships them as shipped. Dixie does not go through them to smooth out any kinks so to speak. IF buying parts, Dixie is the place I would go, if buying guns, I would look at some other distributers who hand select their goods. Just my 2 cents.
