Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Cimarron Model P .357 Magnum also fire .38 Special ammunition?
Yes. Because .38 Special is the parent cartridge of .357 Magnum, the Cimarron Model P can safely chamber and fire both calibers. Many shooters use .38 Special loads for lighter recoil and lower-cost practice, then switch to .357 Magnum for hunting, self-defense, or maximum performance at the range.
Is the Cimarron Model P suitable for Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) competitions?
Absolutely. The Cimarron Model P is one of the most popular revolvers in Cowboy Action Shooting events sanctioned by SASS (Single Action Shooting Society). Its authentic 1873 Single Action Army design, correct pre-war frame styling, and reliable single-action mechanism make it fully competition-legal and a favorite among serious CAS competitors.
How does the Cimarron Model P differ from other 1873 SAA reproductions on the market?
Unlike many reproductions that were designed from technical drawings alone, Cimarron's Model P was reverse-engineered from an actual antique 1873 Colt Single Action Army from their own collection. This results in a higher level of dimensional accuracy, superior fit and finish, and a more faithful recreation of the original — making it widely regarded as the gold standard among SAA reproductions.
