The Cimarron El Malo Pre-War 1896-1940 38 Special 6-shot revolver fuses authentic period styling with modern manufacturing, featuring a 5.50" blued octagon steel barrel and blued cylinder matched to a color case hardened steel frame and a classic walnut grip for a historically accurate feel and reliable handling; built on Cimarron Firearms PP401MALO lineage, this single-action (SAO) piece with exposed hammer delivers the tactile cycling collectors expect while offering practical accuracy for target shooting, cowboy action competition, and heritage-themed range work. The octagon barrel profile provides a sighting plane and balance that many shooters prefer for precision at typical revolver ranges, while the wide front sight and 6-round capacity keep follow-up shots quick and manageable. At approximately 2.50 lbs with a standard frame, the El Malo balances carryability and recoil control with the aesthetics of a pre-war era firearm, making it suitable for display in a historical collection or for serious use on the line.
