Cimarron Firearms Model P .45 LC 7.5" Old Model Revolver

The Cimarron Firearms Model P .45 LC revolver with a 7.5-inch barrel is a faithful recreation of the 1873 Colt Peacemaker that defined the American frontier. Built with an old-model frame design—the pre-1896 style with the cylinder base pin screw located at the front of the frame—this single-action revolver balances historical authenticity with modern manufacturing standards. Whether you're a serious Cowboy Action shooter, a collector of Old West firearms, or someone who simply appreciates the legendary lines of a classic sixgun, this .45 Colt is built to handle both the shooting line and the trail.

Cimarron's reputation rests on delivering genuine reproductions that honor the original design while addressing the mechanical shortcomings of 19th-century production. The Model P's Cowboy Competition action is the proof—smoother, more reliable, and more shootable than the guns that won the West, but unmistakably period-correct in appearance and handling. The 7.5-inch barrel sits right in the sweet spot between ballistic performance and practical carry, and the case-hardened old-model frame gives you that authentic color case harden finish that looks like it rolled off a cavalry quartermaster's bench a century and a half ago.

This particular configuration ships with a one-piece walnut grip and comes finished in your choice of Standard Blue, Charcoal Blue, or Original Finish. At 2.69 pounds, it's right-weighted for a full-sized Peacemaker—substantial enough to handle .45 Colt's recoil without jumping around, light enough to live on the hip all day. If you're building a Cowboy Action setup, populating a collection, or simply want the most historically faithful .45 Colt single-action on the market, the Cimarron Model P old-model frame is the choice serious shooters reach for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between old-model and pre-war frames on a Cimarron Model P?

The old-model frame (pre-1896 style, as on this revolver) has the cylinder base pin retaining screw located in the front of the frame. The post-1896 pre-war frame moves that screw to the side of the frame in front of the cylinder. Both are historically accurate; the old-model represents the earlier 1873 Colt design.

Is the Cimarron Model P suitable for Cowboy Action Shooting?

Yes. The Model P is a popular choice for Cowboy Action competitors. This configuration, with its 7.5-inch barrel and .45 Colt chambering, is a classic setup for the sport. Cimarron's Cowboy Competition action provides the reliability and smoothness modern shooters expect while maintaining period-correct appearance.

What finishes are available on this revolver?

This model is offered in three finishes: Standard Blue, Charcoal Blue, or Original Finish. Each provides a different visual presentation while maintaining the same mechanical features and performance.

Does this old-model revolver come with both a .45 Colt and .45 ACP cylinder?

No. This specific revolver is chambered in .45 LC (Colt) only. Cimarron does offer some Model P configurations with dual cylinders in certain caliber combinations, but this particular model ships with a single .45 Colt cylinder.
