There is nothing else quite like this one in the case. The Cimarron 1862 Pocket Navy Conversion takes the graceful lines of Colt's little .36 caliber pocket revolver and pairs them with a cartridge you can grab off any ammo shelf: .380 ACP. Colt converted plenty of its cap and ball revolvers to fire metallic cartridges back in the 1870s, and Cimarron built this piece in that same spirit, giving old west fans a slim five-shooter that feeds on modern ammunition instead of caps, balls, and powder.
Cimarron has this revolver made by Uberti in Italy, and the fit and finish show it. The frame wears rich case hardened colors, the 6 inch round barrel and unfluted cylinder are blued deep, and the cylinder carries a roll-engraved stagecoach scene just like the originals. A brass trigger guard and backstrap warm up the whole package, and the one-piece varnished walnut grip fills the hand better than you would expect from a pocket-sized frame. Sights are period correct too: a brass bead up front and a notch in the hammer for the rear.
This is a single action, so it is hammer back for every shot, and the light-recoiling .380 makes it a genuinely pleasant range gun. The 6 inch barrel gives it a nice muzzle-forward balance that points naturally, and the whole revolver comes in around 1.78 pounds, so it carries easy and swings quick. As an ejectorless model it keeps the clean, uncluttered barrel profile of the early conversions, which is a big part of the charm.
Collectors of cartridge conversions, cowboy action fans looking for something different, and anyone who appreciates 19th century steel with 21st century ammo availability will find a lot to like here. It is the kind of revolver that gets passed around the firing line, and it earns its keep every time someone asks what it is.
Yes, it is chambered for standard factory .380 ACP, the same rimless cartridge used in modern semi-auto pocket pistols. That was a deliberate choice by Cimarron so owners could feed it with ammo found on just about any store shelf instead of hunting down obscure black powder cartridges. Stick with standard pressure loads and it makes for a soft-shooting, fun range revolver.
It is built by Uberti in Italy and imported by Cimarron Firearms of Fredericksburg, Texas. Uberti is widely regarded as one of the best makers of Old West replica revolvers, and Cimarron is known for holding its production runs to a high standard of historical detail. The result is a well-fitted revolver with authentic case colors, brass furniture, and a roll-engraved cylinder scene.
The 1862 Pocket Conversion is a traditional single action, so the hammer must be cocked manually before each shot. It is also an ejectorless design, true to the early pocket conversions, so spent cases are removed with a small rod or by pulling the cylinder rather than with an ejector housing on the barrel. It is a slower, more deliberate way to shoot, and that is exactly the appeal for fans of these classics.
The original Colt 1862 Pocket Navy was a .36 caliber cap and ball revolver, and Colt converted many of its percussion designs to metallic cartridges from roughly 1873 to 1880. The Pocket Navy itself was not part of that historical conversion wave, which gave Cimarron room to chamber this tribute in a practical modern round. So you get period-correct looks with far more convenient ammunition.
