Cimarron El Malo 45 Colt 4.75" 6rd Revolver

Cimarron calls the El Malo its no frills single action, and that is the appeal: a 4.75" octagon barrel in standard blue, a color case hardened Pre-War frame and a smooth walnut grip, with nothing added that does not need to be there. It is chambered in 45 Colt with a six round cylinder.

The octagon barrel puts a little more weight up front than a round barrel of the same length, which helps the gun settle between shots and gives it a look you will not find on a standard 1873 pattern revolver. Sights are fixed, with a wide front blade that is easy to pick up quickly. The steel frame uses the Pre-War layout with the cylinder pin screw on the side. At about 40 oz the El Malo carries well and handles 45 Colt recoil without fuss. The 4.75" length draws fast from a Cowboy Action holster and points naturally. It works as a main match gun, a ranch or trail revolver, or a range gun for shooters who want an honest single action without a fancy finish.
