Gun Descriptions

Cimarron Lightning

Incorporates the same size frame, barrel and grip as the original Colt model 1877 lightning double action. Angle of the grip and hammer style are slightly modified from the orig double action to provide better handling for medium to small hands. Smooth walnut grips. Forged Pre-War color case hardened frame. Standard blue finish.

Cimarron Thunderer

To paraphrase the famed film director John Ford, "If this isn't the way the Old West sixguns were, it's the way they should have been!" The Thunderer, a full-sized Model P, peacemaker-style single-action revolver that was designed by Cimarron founder and president Mike B. Harvey and made on the Old Model (pre-1896) frame and "bullseye" ejector head. However, as a departure from the traditional peacemaker-style arm, this six-shooter utilizes the natty birds head grip, and is much like that carried by Val Kilmer's "Doc" Holliday in the 1993 hit Western, Tombstone. Cimarron's Thunderer is available in the 4 3/4-inch barrel or the 5 1/2-inch barrel, as well as a 3 1/2-inch barreled version, that makes for a superb carry single action. This well-balanced smokewagon is offered in Standard Blue finish with the color case hardened frame and hammer, a .45 Colt, .45 Colt/.45 ACP dual cylinder, .44 Special, .44-40, .38 Special/.357 Magnum. This Cimarron Thunderer ‘is a daisy!’
