Description
The Model 1892 has a reputation as the smoothest lever action John Browning ever designed, and Cimarron's take on it keeps that spirit alive while chambering it for a cartridge the originals never saw: the .44 Magnum. That pairing makes a lot of sense. The 1892 action was built strong from day one, borrowing its twin locking bolts from the big Model 1886, so it handles magnum pressures with room to spare. Out of the 20 inch barrel, .44 Mag steps up considerably over revolver velocities, giving you real authority on deer and hogs inside a hundred yards or so.
Classic Looks on the Cimarron 1892 Carbine
This is a good looking rifle in the traditional sense. The frame wears a color case hardened finish with those swirling blues and straw tones, set against a standard blue barrel and a one piece walnut stock with matching walnut forearm. A solid saddle ring rides on the left side of the receiver, just like the carbines that got hauled around in scabbards a century ago, and a steel butt plate caps off the stock. Sights are period correct too, with a blade up front and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear that is quick to pick up on close targets.
Handling and Capacity in .44 Magnum
At roughly six pounds and around 37.5 inches overall, this carbine carries easy and comes to the shoulder fast, which is exactly what you want in a truck gun or a brush rifle. The full length magazine tube holds 10 rounds of .44 Mag, and the 1:20 twist barrel stabilizes the heavy bullets that cartridge is known for. It also feeds .44 Special for lighter practice sessions that are easy on the shoulder and the wallet.
Why the 1892 Carbine Still Earns Its Keep
Whether you shoot cowboy action, want a lever gun that shares ammo with your revolver, or just appreciate a well built classic, this Cimarron delivers the goods. Fit and finish on these consistently draws praise, with tight wood to metal fit and an action that cycles smooth right out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Cimarron 1892 Carbine shoot .44 Special as well as .44 Magnum?
Yes. Like most rifles chambered in .44 Magnum, this carbine will also run .44 Special, which makes for softer shooting, budget friendly range sessions. Just cycle the action deliberately with the shorter cartridge, as some lever guns can be a touch pickier feeding .44 Special. For hunting or serious use, full power .44 Mag loads are where this rifle shines.
Is the Cimarron 1892 strong enough for full power .44 Magnum loads?
Absolutely. The 1892 action uses the same twin vertical locking bolt design John Browning put in the larger Model 1886, so it is well suited to magnum pressures. This is one of the reasons the 1892 pattern remains a popular platform for magnum revolver cartridges today.
Is this a good hunting rifle for deer and hogs?
Within its effective range, yes. A .44 Magnum from a 20 inch barrel picks up meaningful velocity over a revolver and delivers plenty of energy for whitetail and hogs at woods distances, generally out to around 100 yards. The light weight and fast handling also make it a natural fit for stand hunting and thick cover.
Who makes the Cimarron 1892 Carbine and what finish does it have?
Cimarron imports this carbine from Chiappa in Italy, built to Cimarron's specs on the original 1892 pattern. It features a color case hardened frame, a standard blue 20 inch round barrel, and walnut stock and forearm with a steel butt plate. A solid saddle ring on the receiver completes the traditional carbine look.
