looking at both in take down model in 45 colt with octagon barrel.

any info with the quality of both price difference of about 200 bucks.

i want to hit the gun shows and my local gun dealer to compare them.

thanks for your help.

Take a much closer look since Taylor and Cimarron import from many of the SAME manufacturers. As I understand it, ArmiSport is the only manufacturer of the takedown models and their track record on QC has been suspect for a number of years.
