About the Cimarron Model P
The Cimarron Model P is a single-action revolver that faithfully reproduces the 1873 Colt Single Action Army. Chambered most commonly in .45 Colt, it uses a solid steel frame with a case-hardened finish, a six-round revolving cylinder loaded through a side gate, and one-piece walnut grips. Widely regarded as one of the most authentic reproductions of the original Peacemaker, it is popular with Cowboy Action Shooters, collectors and Old West reenactors.
The Model P revives the classic 'Peacemaker' silhouette that defined the American West, with Cimarron working to Colt's original 1873 dimensions to satisfy Cowboy Action shooters demanding period-correct authenticity.
