The Cimarron Pistoleer .45 Long Colt 4.75 in Blued 6-Shot is a single-action revolver that channels the spirit of the Old West with a two-tone finish that catches sunlight and conversation at any show. Chambered in the legendary .45 Long Colt, this six-shooter pairs a charcoal blue barrel and frame with a nickel-plated backstrap and trigger guard, giving it a look that stands out in a rack of all-blues. The 4.75-inch barrel keeps it balanced for one-hand shooting, while the two-piece walnut grip sports an embedded Cimarron coin—a subtle nod to the brand’s dedication to authenticity. Per Cimarron spec sheets, the fixed sights and exposed hammer preserve the classic single-action interface that collectors and Cowboy Action shooters demand.

Key Features
- Two-tone charcoal blue and nickel finish — Why it matters: This isn’t a plain-Jane blue job. The contrast between the deep charcoal barrel and the bright nickel backstrap/trigger guard gives the Pistoleer a custom-shop look without the custom-shop price. It’s a conversation starter at the range or the gun show.
- 4.75-inch barrel — Why it matters: That extra quarter-inch over the standard 4.62-inch barrels common on Colt Peacemakers gives you a longer sight radius for better accuracy while keeping the revolver compact enough to holster comfortably. It splits the difference between a Sheriff’s model and a Cavalry model.
- Two-piece walnut grips with embedded Cimarron coin — Why it matters: The coin isn’t just decoration—it’s a collector’s detail that authenticates the gun’s lineage. The walnut fills your hand with a warm, classic feel that polymer just can’t match.
- Fixed sights and exposed hammer — Why it matters: No dovetails, no adjustable rear—just a blade and a notch. That means no snagging on a holster draw, and the hammer spur lets you thumb-cock for a smooth, deliberate trigger pull every time. Pure single-action simplicity.
- Chambered in .45 Long Colt — Why it matters: This cartridge has been putting meat on the table and lead downrange since 1873. It’s mild enough for plinking but potent enough for defensive use. Plus, cowboy loads make it a joy to shoot all afternoon.
Who It’s For
This revolver is for the collector who walks the aisles at the Tulsa Gun Show looking for something that’s not another generic clone. It’s for the Cowboy Action shooter who wants a gun that looks as good as it shoots, and for the history buff who appreciates the details—like that coin in the grip—that tell a story. If you’re the kind of person who owns a lever-action in .45 Colt and wants a matching six-shooter, this is your revolver.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Two-tone finish is eye-catching and unique in this price range.
- Pro: .45 Long Colt is versatile—cowboy loads, hunting loads, and defensive loads all work.
- Pro: Cimarron builds these with real attention to historical detail, including the coin inlay.
- Con: Fixed sights mean you can’t adjust for windage or elevation—you’ll need to learn your holdovers. That’s part of the single-action experience, but it’s worth knowing.

FAQ
Is this revolver safe to use with modern .45 Colt ammunition?
Yes. Cimarron builds these revolvers to handle standard-pressure .45 Colt loads. Per Cimarron’s own specs, the steel frame and cylinder are heat-treated for modern pressures. Avoid +P or proof loads, but any factory cowboy action or standard-pressure hunting ammo is fine.
Does the two-tone finish wear differently than a standard blue?
The charcoal blue on the barrel and frame will wear like any traditional blued finish—holster wear will show as silver edges over time. The nickel on the backstrap and trigger guard is tougher and resists corrosion better. Some collectors actually prefer the worn look on these two-tone guns because it adds character.
Can I use this revolver for Cowboy Action Shooting?
Absolutely. The 4.75-inch barrel is within the allowed length for most CAS categories, and the fixed sights are standard for the sport. The Cimarron coin in the grip is a nice touch that won’t interfere with your stage runs. Just make sure you use lead or coated bullets to match the rifling.
Does the Cimarron Pistoleer use the same grip frame as a Colt Peacemaker?
Yes. The grip frame dimensions are Colt-style, meaning aftermarket grip panels made for Colt Single Action Army revolvers will fit. That opens up a world of custom grips if you want to swap out the factory walnut later.
