The Cimarron Model P Revolver .357/.38 4.75″ 6rd Case Hardened is a single-action 1873 Peacemaker-style revolver built for the city dweller who demands reliability and classic firepower. It’s chambered in .357 Magnum (also accepts .38 Special) with a 4.75-inch barrel and a six-shot cylinder, combining period-correct looks with modern durability. Per Cimarron specs, this revolver uses their Cowboy Comp action to fix old design flaws—so you get a smoother trigger and stronger lockup. If you want a wheelgun that works for range defense or home protection, this is it.

Key Features

• Case-Hardened Frame: This pre-war style steel frame resists wear and looks authentic—why it matters: you get a revolver that holds up to heavy use without losing its classic finish.
• Cowboy Comp Action: Cimarron beefed up the hand and bolt spring—why it matters: fewer timing issues and a more reliable trigger pull than original 1873s, making it safer for modern self-defense.
• 4.75-Inch Barrel: Balances quick draw with accuracy—why it matters: you can carry it concealed or use it for home defense without the bulk of a longer barrel.
• .357 / .38 Dual Chambering: Fires both calibers—why it matters: practice with cheaper .38 Special, then load .357 Magnum for serious stopping power when you need it.
• Six-Shot Cylinder: Traditional capacity with reliable indexing—why it matters: six rounds on tap for urban encounters, and the cylinder locks up tight for consistent accuracy.

Who It’s For

Urban CCW holders who want a revolver that stands out at the range and works for apartment defense. Apartment dwellers who need a compact, reliable firearm that won’t overpenetrate with .38 Special loads. Collectors who appreciate period details but demand modern reliability in a single-action wheelgun.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Authentic 1873 look with upgraded internals—feels like a piece of history but shoots like a modern revolver.
• Pro: .357 Magnum power in a 4.75-inch barrel gives you solid velocity without being too heavy to carry.
• Con: Single-action only—requires manual cocking for each shot, which is slower than double-action revolvers in defensive scenarios.

FAQ

Can I carry this revolver for daily self-defense?

Yes, but with caveats. Single-action means you must manually cock the hammer before each shot—slower than double-action. For urban CCW, practice your draw and cocking motion. Load with .38 Special +P for manageable recoil.

Does this revolver shoot .38 Special safely?

Absolutely. Per Cimarron specs, it’s rated for .38 Special and .38 Special +P. The cylinder is machined to handle both calibers, so you can shoot cheaper .38 for practice and .357 for defense.

Is the case-hardened finish durable?

Case-hardening is a surface treatment that resists wear and corrosion, but it can fade with holster use. It’s more durable than bluing but less than stainless steel. Keep it oiled and it’ll look good for years.

What holsters fit the 4.75-inch barrel?

Look for holsters designed for 4.75-inch Colt Peacemaker replicas. Brands like Simply Rugged and Galco make leather options that work. Avoid kydex unless specified for single-action revolvers.
