Cimarron 1851 Navy Oval Tg - 36 Caliber 7.5" Fs Walnut

The Cimarron 1851 Navy Oval Tg in .36 caliber is a faithful reproduction of the iconic percussion cap revolver that shaped the American frontier. This 7.5-inch barrel blackpowder sixgun combines historical authenticity with the balanced handling that made the original 1851 Navy a favorite among cavalry soldiers, lawmen, and frontier scouts. Whether you're a blackpowder competition shooter, living history enthusiast, or collector drawn to classic American firearms, this revolver delivers the look, feel, and mechanical reliability of a gun that defined an era.

What sets Cimarron's version apart is the oval trigger guard—a detail that catches the hand just right and distinguishes this model from its squared-guard cousin. The 7.5-inch octagon barrel is topped with a traditional bead front sight and notched hammer rear sight, allowing you to shoot it the way it was meant to be shot. The one-piece walnut grip is finished with a period-correct varnish, and the case-hardened steel frame, paired with brass backstrap and brass trigger guard, gives the gun its distinctive Victorian-era color palette. You'll find a roll-engraved naval battle scene running down the unfluted cylinder—a nod to the gun's namesake and its service aboard naval vessels.

At 2.72 pounds, the 1851 Navy handles like a dream, balanced enough for extended shooting sessions without fatigue. Cimarron offers your choice of finishes: the standard charcoal blue, or their unique Original Finish for a more aged, period appearance. This is a working blackpowder revolver, not a safe queen—it's built to be loaded, fired, cleaned, and shot again, just like the originals that crossed the frontier 170 years ago.
