Description
Some revolvers just feel right the moment they hit your hand, and the Cimarron Frontier Pre-War is one of them. This is Cimarron's take on the most recognizable sixgun of the Old West, built to the 1896 to 1940 pattern with the spring-loaded base pin catch that defined the pre-war frame. Chambered in .45 Colt with a 4.75 inch barrel, it balances the way a single action should: quick out of leather, steady on target, and easy to carry all day.
The Frontier Pre-War Gets the Details Right
Cimarron modeled this revolver on an original from their own collection, and it shows. The frame wears real color case hardening with those swirling blues and straw colors that no two guns share exactly alike, while the barrel and cylinder carry a deep standard blue over polished steel. The one-piece walnut grip fills the hand the old-fashioned way, no seams, no plastic, just wood shaped like it was in the cavalry days. At around 2.33 pounds, it has that solid all-steel heft collectors and shooters both appreciate.
A Working Sixgun, Not a Safe Queen
Built by Pietta in Italy and imported through Cimarron in Texas, the Frontier line comes with a factory tuned action, which means the hammer draws back with a clean, crisp feel and the cylinder locks up right where it should. That makes this a favorite in cowboy action matches, where a smooth single action saves real time on the clock. The wide front sight picks up fast, and the 4.75 inch gunfighter-length barrel is the classic pick for anyone who wants the authentic Peacemaker profile.
Why the PP410 Earns a Spot in the Collection
Whether you run it hard on match weekends, take it out for relaxed range sessions with cowboy loads, or set it in the case next to a good holster rig, this one delivers the look, feel, and history in equal measure. The .45 Colt chambering keeps it true to the original, and ammo is easy to find in everything from soft-shooting cowboy loads to full-power hunting fodder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who makes the Cimarron Frontier Pre-War revolver?
The Frontier Pre-War is manufactured by Pietta in Italy and imported by Cimarron Firearms out of Fredericksburg, Texas. Cimarron is known for holding its Italian makers to tight standards on fit, finish, and historical accuracy, and the Frontier line ships with a factory tuned action for a smoother hammer draw and trigger.
What does Pre-War mean on this Cimarron Frontier?
Pre-War refers to the frame style used on original Peacemaker-pattern revolvers made between 1896 and 1940. The most noticeable feature is the spring-loaded cross-pin base pin catch, which replaced the older screw-in retainer found on black powder era frames. It gives you the exact look and function of the sixguns from that period.
Is the Frontier Pre-War a good choice for cowboy action shooting?
It's one of the more popular picks for the sport. The factory tuned action gives you a crisp, smooth hammer pull right out of the box, and the 4.75 inch barrel is the classic gunfighter length that clears leather fast. The .45 Colt chambering pairs perfectly with soft-shooting cowboy loads.
What kind of .45 Colt ammo should I run through it?
Stick with standard pressure .45 Colt loads, which is what this traditional single action design is built around. Cowboy action loads are ideal for high-volume shooting and keep recoil light, while standard factory loads work fine for general range use. Skip the heavy +P style loads meant for large-frame modern revolvers.
