When this revolver is at rest, there is, as there should be, some amount of cylinder end shake and play.
There is a minor bit of backlacklash as the hammer falls, but nothing to take you off target. The trigger shoe itself is small, thin, and curved, in the traditional form.
Measured on a Lyman digital trigger scale, the average of five trigger pulls was 1 lb 9.2 oz. It breaks clean, with no take-up and little movement. Uberti didn’t skimp on the trigger of the Pistoleer. On this particular gun, the wood is flush on the left side of the gun where it meets the frame, but slightly proud on the right, maybe by half a millimeter. The wood-to-metal fit is adequate, but nothing spectacular. The walnut is stained in the slightly reddish hue we often see from Uberti. Image courtesy JWT for The grip on the Pistoleer is two pieces of walnut that include Cimarron’s medallion logo. The early originals had longer barrels than this, but we find people all over the West cutting these barrels to this length almost immediately after the old Colts were released. It’s long enough for a good sight radius, fast out of the holster, and is also simply aesthetically pleasing since it ends along with the ejector housing. Unless it’s a revolver specifically for hunting, this is very much my preferred barrel length. You’ll need sunlight or bright indoor light to bring out the colors.Īccording to Cimarron’s press release and my email conversation with them, the Pistoleer is currently scheduled to be in two finishes and two calibers, but so far only this one 4 3/4″ barrel length. They are not bright blued nitre, but the more traditional blue found on the early guns. That’s a nice touch, and it’s carried on to all of the exterior screws. Image courtesy JWT for Continuing in that same style, you’ll find a charcoal blued base pin latch. Image courtesy JWT for The ejector nut is the new model half moon style as opposed to the larger full circle on the Old Model guns, which were more similar to the early Colt black powder cartridge frames. It’s well done and even throughout the firearm. The black blued metal throughout the gun is polished to a shine, but not a mirror finish. With this all-blued model, the finish is subdued, with nothing particularly flashy. Even on this fairly inexpensive model, Cimarron hasn’t forgotten to pay attention to the finish. I received the more traditional version, with everything blued, including the frame and backstrap. One model will include a polished hammer and trigger guard as well as a nickel plated backstrap for a two-tone effect. Image courtesy JWT for The Pistoleer line will eventually have two different finish types and come in both.
