Cimarron Firearms US Cavalry Scout Features The Cimarron US Cavalry Scout is reproduced directly from an original 1870s revolver in Cimarron s antique collection giving this reproduction a level of historical accuracy that goes beyond typical replica firearms. The full nickel plating replicates the finish issued to Indian scouts serving alongside the frontier army a finish chosen originally for its resistance to the corrosive effects of black powder residue. The 7.5 barrel matches the length carried by 7th Cavalry troopers offering a long sight radius that aids accuracy at range. Chambered in .45 Colt with a 6-round cylinder the revolver channels the same cartridge and capacity as the historical originals it reproduces. The one-piece walnut grip bears the OWA cartouche of 1870s military inspector Orville W. Ainsworth along with other period-correct government proof and inspection markings stamped in their proper locations. Blued screws and a blued cylinder base pin provide a subtle contrast against the nickel finish mirroring details found on original cavalry-issue revolvers. This attention to historical detail makes the US Cavalry Scout as much a piece of American history as a functional firearm. Cimarron s dedication to faithful reproduction makes this revolver a strong addition for collectors and cowboy action shooters who value authenticity.
