Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Some revolvers just feel right the moment you pick them up, and the Cimarron Frontier Pre-War is one of them. Built by Pietta to Cimarron's specs, this is a faithful reproduction of the 1873 single action as it appeared between 1896 and 1940, which is why you get the Pre-War frame with the spring-loaded crosspin catch holding the base pin instead of the earlier blackpowder-style screw. The color case hardened frame and hammer show off those swirling blues and straw colors that no two guns wear quite the same way, and the 4.75 inch barrel and cylinder carry a deep traditional blue. A smooth one-piece walnut grip rounds out the period-correct look.
Chambered in .357 Magnum, this sixgun also runs .38 Special all day long, which is a big part of its appeal. Feed it light .38 cowboy loads for fast, soft-shooting match work, then step up to full-power .357 when you want more thump on steel or in the field. Sights are the classic fixed setup, a blade up front with a notch milled into the top strap, and at right around 40 ounces the gun soaks up recoil and settles naturally on target. Loading is done old-school through the right-side gate, one round at a time, with that familiar four-click song as you bring the hammer back to half cock.
Cimarron has built its reputation on getting the details right, and the Frontier line benefits from hand-fitted actions that come out of the box smoother than you might expect at this price point in the category. Cowboy action competitors, single action collectors, and anyone who grew up on westerns will find a lot to like here. The 4.75 inch barrel length is the classic gunfighter configuration, quick out of a holster and easy to carry, which makes this one of those revolvers that gets shot often instead of sitting in the safe.
Yes. Since .38 Special is simply a shorter cartridge with the same bullet diameter, it runs fine in any .357 Magnum chamber. Plenty of owners feed it soft .38 cowboy loads for matches and practice, then switch to .357 Magnum when they want more power. Just give the chambers a good scrub after a lot of .38s to clear any ring of fouling.
It refers to the frame style Colt used on single actions built between 1896 and 1940, before World War II. The most obvious tell is the spring-loaded crosspin catch that secures the cylinder base pin, replacing the screw used on earlier blackpowder frames. It makes removing the cylinder for cleaning quicker and keeps the gun period-correct for that era.
This model is manufactured by Pietta in Italy to Cimarron's specifications, then imported and inspected by Cimarron Firearms in Texas. Pietta has decades of experience building traditional single actions, and Cimarron is known for holding its makers to tight standards on fit and finish. The result is a smooth action and finishes that look right for the period.
It is one of the most popular lengths in the game. The shorter barrel clears leather faster than the 5.5 or 7.5 inch versions while still giving you a usable sight radius. Its roughly 40 ounce weight also helps steady the gun and tame recoil with .38 Special loads, so quick follow-up shots on steel come easy.
