The Cimarron Model P revolver is a faithful reproduction of the iconic 1873 Peacemaker-style single action, a design originally commissioned for U.S. Cavalry service and integral to frontier history. Recognized as the definitive sixgun of its era, its robust design earned monikers like ‘hogleg’ and ‘smokewagon.’ Cimarron’s rendition is distinguished by its meticulous replication, derived directly from an original 1873 single action revolver in their antique collection, ensuring an unparalleled level of historical accuracy beyond typical drawing-based reproductions.
Key Features
Authentic Replication
The Model P embodies an exacting commitment to historical detail. Unlike reproductions based solely on archival drawings, Cimarron’s manufacturing process involved a direct study of an original 1873 Colt Single Action Army, ensuring that critical dimensions, lines, and operational characteristics align with the period-correct firearm. This provides a genuine period-appropriate handling and operational experience for the discerning enthusiast.
Precision Construction & Finish
Constructed to maintain the robust reliability of the original design, the Model P features a classic color case hardened frame, delivering both an aesthetic representative of the era and enhanced surface hardness. The 7.5-inch barrel is precision-fitted, contributing to consistent bore alignment and bullet stabilization, a critical factor for accuracy in revolvers of this type. The cylinder and barrel are typically blued, providing a traditional contrast to the frame.
Operational Reliability
Engineered for reliable function, the Model P’s single action mechanism is designed for precise timing and consistent lock-up. The six-round cylinder is machined for reliable cartridge presentation and extraction, accommodating the .45 Long Colt cartridge, a period-correct and potent chambering known for its terminal ballistics. The hammer and trigger mechanisms are calibrated for a clean break and positive reset, enhancing shooter control and target acquisition.
