Cimarron Richards Transition 45 Colt 8 in 6 Rounds Blue Case Hardened Walnut Grip

The Cimarron Richards Transition Model .45 Colt with an 8-inch barrel and blue finish is an Uberti-made reproduction that brings the Richards-Mason conversion story to life for collectors, reenactors, and shooters who value period-authentic handguns; the single-action, six-shot .45 LC revolver features a case hardened frame, round 8" barrel, fixed sights and a one-piece walnut grip that match the look and feel of the late 19th century Colt conversions conceived by Charles B. Richards, so you get both historical accuracy and contemporary reliability for cowboy action shooting, living history displays, and range work. The Richards Transition series recreates the method that converted percussion front-loaders to breech-loading metallic cartridge systems, and this model's conversion ring gate, period-style hammer and robust steel construction make it suitable for safe, practical shooting with modern .45 Colt ammunition while remaining an attractive museum-quality piece for display. Weighing about 2.65 lbs and finished in classic blue with color case hardened accents, this Richards Transition revolver delivers the handling and balance shooters expect from a longer-barrel single-action, providing sight radius for deliberate accuracy and the tactile feedback enthusiasts seek when tracing the evolution of American handgun design.
