The Cimarron CA916 1872 Open Top Army .45 Colt (LC) is a collector-grade reproduction that blends historical accuracy with modern materials, offering shooters and reenactors a faithful take on the rare 1872 Open Top series; chambered in .45 LC with a 6-round cylinder and a 7.5" blued barrel and cylinder, this single-action revolver delivers the ballistics and heft expected from a frontier arm while remaining manageable at the range or in period competition. The color case hardened steel frame and standard blue finish mirror the look of the originals while providing durable service life, and the wide front fixed sight aids rapid sight acquisition for target work and Cowboy Action events. The 1860 Army-sized walnut grip gives a traditional hold that suits both vintage staging and practical shooting, and the overall 2.5 lb balance makes it comfortable for extended carry in living history displays or timed matches. Cimarron Firearms built the Open Top Army to capture caplock-era lines in a metallic cartridge platform, making this CA916 an appealing choice for historical collectors, shooters, and enthusiasts seeking authentic form with reliable function.
