The Cimarron 1873 Model P revolver stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the frontier's most iconic firearm. Originally conceived for the U.S. Cavalry, this sixgun quickly earned its place in history under various names—Peacemaker, Hogleg, Smokewagon, and Equalizer—all symbols of rugged reliability and raw power.
Cimarron's dedication to authenticity is unmatched; their replica is crafted not from mere blueprints but meticulously reproduced from an original 1873 single action housed within their antique collection. This attention to detail ensures that each piece mirrors the craftsmanship and spirit of its historical predecessor while incorporating modern enhancements for improved performance.
Chambered in .45 Long Colt, this revolver features a 4.75-inch barrel—a length favored by many for its balance between accuracy and ease of carry. The case-hardened Pre-War frame adds an element of classic elegance along with structural integrity reminiscent of post-1896 designs where the cylinder base pin retaining screw resides on the side before the cylinder.
The grip is a one-piece walnut design that offers both comfort and control during handling, complemented by a standard blue finish true to its period roots yet robust enough for today's needs. With Cimarron's Cowboy Comp action upgrade, users benefit from enhanced reliability over traditional models without compromising on historical fidelity.
This Model P revolver exemplifies what it means to hold history in your hands—a perfect blend of past artistry with present-day advancements designed for enthusiasts who appreciate both form and function.
