The Cimarron 1873 Peacemaker-style revolver stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of what many regard as the quintessential firearm of the American frontier. Originally designed for the U.S. Cavalry, this sixgun quickly became synonymous with rugged individualism and reliable power, earning nicknames such as "hogleg," "smokewagon," and "equalizer."
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Cimarron's reproduction faithfully replicates every nuance of an original 1873 Colt single-action design. Unlike previous reproductions that relied solely on drawings, this masterpiece was recreated from an authentic antique in their collection, ensuring historical accuracy and quality.
This particular model is chambered in .357 Magnum—a caliber known for its formidable stopping power—making it suitable not only for collectors but also modern-day shooters who appreciate both heritage and performance.
The weapon's balance is enhanced by a carefully chosen barrel length of 5.5 inches, providing improved accuracy without sacrificing quick draw capabilities—a crucial feature during its heyday on the frontier.
Aesthetically pleasing yet functional enhancements include a cylinder base pin screw located at the front—a nod to authenticity that does not compromise function or form.
The Cimarron Model P remains revered among enthusiasts and collectors today due to its blend of historical significance and unwavering reliability in use. It offers more than just nostalgia; it delivers dependable performance rooted in tradition while appealing aesthetically with its case-hardened frame paired against standard blue finish steelwork.
