Description
There are plenty of single action revolvers that look the part, and plenty of .44 Magnums that get the job done. The Cimarron Bad Boy is one of the rare guns that does both. Built by Uberti in Italy to Cimarron's specifications, it takes the graceful 1860 Army grip frame, adds a pre-war style flat top frame, and beefs everything up to handle full house .44 Magnum loads. The 8-inch octagon barrel gives it a profile you just don't see on modern wheelguns, and the deep blue finish over carbon steel with smooth walnut Army grips makes this one of those revolvers people stop and ask about at the range.
Why the Bad Boy Shoots as Good as It Looks
The flat top frame carries a fully adjustable rear sight paired with a dovetailed target front, so you can dial in your load instead of guessing with a fixed hog wallow notch. Reviewers and owners consistently report excellent accuracy, with groups around an inch at 25 yards being common with quality ammo. That long octagon barrel and roughly 41 ounce heft also work in your favor when the hammer drops. The longer 1860 style grip frame fills the hand and lets the gun roll back naturally under recoil, which makes magnum loads far more manageable than they'd be in a standard SAA sized grip. Feed it .44 Special and it turns into a downright pleasant afternoon plinker.
Putting the Cimarron Bad Boy to Work
This is a legitimate field revolver, not just a safe queen. Handgun hunters will appreciate the sight radius and adjustable sights for hogs and deer, and it makes a reassuring trail companion in big animal country. The non-fluted cylinder features recessed chambers that fully enclose the case rims, a classy touch the big factory makers dropped years ago. A full length ejector rod clears spent brass smoothly, and the traditional base pin setup makes cylinder removal for cleaning quick and simple. If you've been wanting a classic cowboy sixgun that hits like a modern magnum, this one earns its name.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Cimarron Bad Boy shoot .44 Special ammunition?
Yes. Like most .44 Magnum revolvers, the Bad Boy also chambers and fires .44 Special. It's a great way to practice on the cheap or enjoy relaxed range sessions, then step up to full magnum loads for hunting or the field.
Who makes the Cimarron Bad Boy?
The Bad Boy is manufactured by A. Uberti of Italy, built to Cimarron's specifications. Uberti has a long reputation for high quality Old West style firearms, and owners regularly praise the fit, finish, and bluing on this model.
Should I carry the Bad Boy with all six chambers loaded?
No. The Bad Boy uses a traditional single action lockwork without a transfer bar, so the safe practice is loading five rounds and letting the hammer rest on an empty chamber. That's the same protocol used with original style single actions for well over a century.
How bad is the recoil with full power .44 Magnum loads?
It's more manageable than you might expect. The revolver weighs around 41 ounces, and the long 1860 Army style grip frame lets the gun roll back in the hand rather than slap your palm. Full magnums are still stout, but standard 240 grain loads are comfortable for most people, and .44 Specials are downright mild.
