A pre-war frame refers to the older style of single action frame, with the screw-retained cylinder pin that collectors prefer. Cimarron's Pistolero in .22 LR carries that look in stainless steel with a silver finish, so it gets classic styling and rimfire economy together.

Stainless steel resists rust, which matters for anyone who carries a revolver in humid weather or leaves a gun in a truck for a few days. The silver color also stands out in a holster. It is more of a fun gun than a work gun, so think of it as a way to enjoy cowboy style without the cost of centerfire ammo.

It suits a cowboy action fan who wants a rimfire for practice, a youngster learning to handle a single action, or someone who plinks at a ranch. Stainless guns show fingerprints, so a quick wipe after each outing keeps the silver bright. Ask your dealer to look over the fit and function at pickup, and run a few boxes of ammunition through it before you rely on it in the field.

It is listed new. The revolver ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
