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 among Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) competitors. It meets the single-action, period-correct criteria required by organizations like the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS), and its .45 Long Colt chambering is one of the most widely used calibers in the sport. The 7.5-inch barrel configuration is sometimes called the "Cavalry" length and is both legal and traditional for CAS events.
What makes the Cimarron Model P more authentic than other 1873 reproductions?
Unlike many reproductions that are engineered from technical drawings, Cimarron reproduced the Model P by directly referencing an original 1873 Colt Single Action Army from their antique collection. This approach captures subtle period-correct dimensions, frame geometry, and visual details that drawing-based reproductions often miss. The result is widely regarded by collectors and enthusiasts as the most faithful 1873 SAA replica on the market.
What ammunition is compatible with the Cimarron Model P in .45 Long Colt?
The Cimarron Model P is chambered for standard .45 Long Colt (also written .45 LC or .45 Colt) ammunition, which is widely available in both lead and jacketed bullet configurations. For Cowboy Action Shooting, lead round-nose or flat-nose loads are most common. It is important to use factory-standard pressure loads; high-pressure "+P" .45 Colt loads are not recommended for this revolver, as the 1873-style single-action design is not rated for elevated pressures.
