Agree, definately a personal preference based on usage. Rossi is a double action where as the cattleman is a single action. Probably go with the rossi for a self defense/carry weapon where as the cattleman seems like it would be the better target/plinking weapon. Of course, you could probably get a black hawk for close to the same price. Bas Pro in Nashville had an Uberti 1875 Outlaw which reminds me of the old spagetti westerns. If I was going to get a western style revolver, thats what I'd get.
