Product Overview

The Cimarron Thunderer .45 Long Colt single action revolver puts classic Old West handling into a compact, carry-friendly package. This Model CA346 brings the authenticity and reliability of traditional single-action design to hunters, sport shooters, and Cowboy Action competitors who want a proven .45 Colt revolver without the bulk of a full-size frame. With a 3.5" barrel and weighing just 2.37 lbs, the Thunderer balances shootability and portability—it's at home on the range, in a holster during a match, or as a historically accurate sixgun for collectors who appreciate genuine craftsmanship over modern polymer.

Cimarron builds the Thunderer on proven single-action mechanics: a six-round cylinder, fixed front sight, and a straightforward manual action that rewards trigger control and sight picture. The case-hardened frame and standard blue finish on the cylinder and barrel give it the look and durability of a gun that could have lived in a frontier saddle bag. The one-piece walnut grip fits naturally in the hand and ages beautifully with use—no plastic furniture here.

Whether you reload .45 Colt for precision target work, shoot factory loads at the range, or compete in Cowboy Action Shooting, the Thunderer's compact size and traditional ergonomics make it a practical choice. Single-action revolvers reward consistency and technique; this one's built to last and deliver reliable service across decades of shooting.
