The Cimarron 1872 Open Top Navy .38 Special revolver from Cimarron Firearms carries the look and handling of the Old West into modern use, with a 5.5-inch barrel that gives a balanced sight radius for target work and a controllable weight of 37.2 ounces for range sessions or mounted shooting demonstrations. Its 6-round cylinder, fixed sights and standard trigger mirror the period-correct 1872 Open Top series while offering dependable function for cowboy action competition, historical reenactments, and casual plinking, and the walnut grips provide a secure, comfortable hold that aids follow-up shots and pointability. The blued, case-colored/hardened frame finish resists corrosion while maintaining the vintage aesthetic collectors seek, and the .38 Special chambering delivers manageable recoil for shooters building confidence with single-action revolvers. If you want a historically faithful piece that shoots like a modern production revolver, the Cimarron 1872 Open Top Navy blends authentic styling, straightforward mechanics and practical handling for collectors, competitors and range enthusiasts who value classic form with reliable performance.
