Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Cimarron Model P suitable for Cowboy Action Shooting competitions?
Absolutely. The Cimarron Model P is one of the most popular revolvers in Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) sanctioned by the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS). Its faithful reproduction of the 1873 SAA design, combined with its .45 Long Colt chambering and 5.5" cavalry-length barrel, meets the requirements of most CAS categories. The smooth single-action trigger and authentic mechanics make it both competitive and enjoyable on the range.
What ammunition is compatible with the .45 Long Colt chambering?
The Cimarron Model P chambers standard .45 Long Colt (also written .45 LC or .45 Colt) ammunition, which is widely available in both cowboy-action lead loads and standard defensive loadings. For Cowboy Action Shooting, lighter lead bullet loads are recommended to reduce wear and recoil. Avoid using .45 ACP or .454 Casull — these are not compatible with this revolver.
How does the Cimarron Model P compare to other 1873 SAA reproductions on the market?
Cimarron is widely regarded as producing some of the most authentic and highest-quality 1873 Single Action Army reproductions available. Unlike many competitors who work from technical drawings, Cimarron reproduced the Model P directly from an original 1873 Colt in their antique collection, resulting in superior dimensional accuracy and period-correct detailing. The case hardened frame, blued finish, and walnut grips all reflect genuine craftsmanship that sets it apart from budget-tier reproductions.
