Key Features

• Nickel-Plated Finish – Why it matters: The nickel plating resists corrosion from sweat and humidity better than blued steel, so your revolver stays looking sharp even if you carry it in a holster during summer months.
• One-Piece Walnut Grip – Why it matters: A smooth, solid grip fills your hand naturally and transfers recoil evenly. No seams or backstraps to snag on clothing during a draw.
• Fixed Wide Front Sight – Why it matters: No adjustable sights to snag or break. The wide blade gives you a clear sight picture in low light, and the fixed rear notch keeps your point of impact consistent with standard loads.
• 4.75-Inch Barrel – Why it matters: Balances barrel length for manageable recoil and enough velocity to get the most out of .357 Magnum defensive loads. Short enough to clear a holster quickly, long enough to be accurate at 25 yards.
• Six-Round Capacity – Why it matters: Six shots of .357 Magnum give you a solid defensive load. Reloads are slower than a semi-auto, but each round hits hard enough to end a fight with one or two shots.

Who It’s For

This revolver is built for the urban shooter who wants a simple, reliable firearm for home defense and range practice. If you live in an apartment and want a gun that won’t overpenetrate with .38 Special target loads, this is your piece. It also fits the Cowboy Action crowd, but the .357 chambering makes it more versatile than a .45 Colt for self-defense.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Dual-caliber capability – shoot cheap .38 Special for practice, load .357 Magnum for serious work.
• Pro: Nickel finish is tough and easy to clean – a quick wipe with a silicone cloth keeps it looking new.
• Con: The fixed sights are zeroed for typical .357 Magnum loads. If you shoot mostly .38 Special, expect point of impact to be slightly higher at close range.
• Con: Single-action only – you must manually cock the hammer for each shot. Slower than a double-action revolver for follow-up shots in a defensive scenario.

FAQ

Is the Cimarron Pistolero safe to carry with all six chambers loaded?

Yes. The Pistolero features a hammer block safety that prevents the firing pin from contacting the primer unless the trigger is pulled. You can safely carry with all six rounds loaded, but always follow standard revolver safety practices: rest the hammer on an empty chamber if you prefer an extra margin.

Can I shoot .38 Special +P ammunition in this revolver?

According to Cimarron Firearms specs, the Pistolero is built on a modern steel frame that can handle +P pressures. However, +P ammunition accelerates wear on any revolver. For defensive use, +P is fine in limited quantities. For regular range practice, stick to standard-pressure .38 Special loads.

Does the nickel finish require special maintenance?

Nickel is more corrosion-resistant than blued steel, but it can chip if dropped on hard surfaces. Clean with a mild solvent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. A light coat of silicone gun oil after cleaning keeps the shine.

What holsters fit a 4.75-inch barrel Cimarron Pistolero?

Most holsters designed for the Colt Single Action Army with a 4.75-inch barrel will fit. Look for leather or kydex holsters specifically cut for a 4.75-inch barrel length. Avoid 5.5-inch holsters – they leave the muzzle unsupported.
