Nothing else is QUITE the same. The Ruger's tougher by a mile, and the Cimmeron/ Uberti's feels fairly close. But they just don't quite FEEL the same as a Colt. If you are going to compete, get the new small frame Ruger. Friend of mine at work was an End Of Trail champion and his daughter is as well, although she's now part of Team Glock, I think, well, both highly recommend and use Rugers. (Sorry for the run-on, its been a really long day.)

Myself, a 44spl, 5 1/2" bbl. Colt can't be beat. But that's just for funsies.
