Key Features
- Authentic 1873 Peacemaker Design — Why it matters: You get the classic profile and handling that built the legend, while the case-hardened frame ensures durability for repeat use.
- 4.75-Inch Barrel — Why it matters: This length provides a longer sight radius for accurate shot placement without making the revolver unwieldy for belt carry or holster draw.
- Six-Round Cylinder — Why it matters: You have six rounds of .45 LC on tap, giving you adequate firepower for defensive scenarios while maintaining the traditional single-action manual of arms.
- Pre-War Frame Geometry — Why it matters: The frame is shaped to the earlier, stronger profile, which reduces the risk of stress cracks under heavy use compared to later production designs.
- One-Piece Walnut Grip — Why it matters: The grip fills the hand naturally and provides a solid purchase for recoil control, keeping the revolver on target for follow-up shots.
Who It’s For
This revolver fits the concealed carrier who wants a historically accurate piece that still functions reliably for personal protection. It also appeals to home defense buyers who prefer the simplicity and proven track record of a single-action .45 LC. If you value craftsmanship and want a firearm that doubles as a conversation piece without sacrificing defensive capability, this is your wheelhouse.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Period-correct aesthetics, robust case-hardened frame, smooth action out of the box, manageable recoil with standard .45 LC loads, and a price point under $700.
- Cons: The fixed sights are basic and may require adjustment for windage at longer ranges. Also, the single-action trigger requires manual cocking for each shot, which demands more training for defensive use.

FAQ
Is the Cimarron Model P .45 LC safe for modern +P ammunition?
Per Cimarron specs, this revolver is rated for standard-pressure .45 Long Colt loads only. Do not use +P or high-pressure ammunition, as it can damage the frame or cause premature wear.

What holsters fit the 4.75-inch barrel version?
Most holsters designed for the Colt Peacemaker with a 4.75-inch barrel will fit. Look for leather or Kydex options from brands like Simply Rugged or Galco that specify the barrel length.
Can I mount optics on this revolver?
No. The Cimarron Model P has fixed iron sights and no rail system. It is intended for traditional shooting with the factory sights.
