Stainless steel is the practical way to do a Western revolver, and Cimarron's Frontier makes the case. It is a single-action in .45 Colt with a 7.5 inch barrel, a six-round cylinder and a stainless finish that shrugs off sweat, rain and gunpowder residue.

A 7.5 inch barrel is the classic cavalry length. It offers a long sight radius for accurate shots and the best velocity this barrel type can give the .45 Colt. That helps for handgun hunting at moderate range and for matches where precision counts. Wipe it down after each outing and keep a light coat of oil on the steel, and it will look good for the next owner too.

Stainless wipes clean after a day of shooting and does not demand much care in humid weather. For a man who works outside and wants a revolver that can live in a truck or barn without constant attention, it is a smart choice.

The .45 Colt offers wide loading options. Run light cowboy loads for fun, or heavier ones if the revolver is rated for them. Check the manual. The revolver ships to your FFL dealer, and the background check takes place at pickup.
