Rimfire practice makes better centerfire shooters. The Cimarron Pistolero in .22 LR is a good way to train for cowboy action without spending on heavy ammunition.

The Pistolero name is used for Cimarron's smaller scale single action pistols. They look like the old Colt, but they are sized and chambered for fun shooting. The .22 LR has almost no recoil, so you can focus on your grip, your stance and your draw.

Fans of this pattern often pair it with a rimfire lever rifle, so they have a matched set for plinking and for training. A day at the range with a thousand rounds of .22 is more affordable than a single box of .45 Colt.

Beginners should take their time and practice safe handling. Cock the hammer, check your target and squeeze the trigger. Keep the muzzle pointed downrange at all times. Take a few minutes at the dealer counter to handle it, work the action and check how it fits your shoulder or hand before you leave.

The listing is for a new revolver. It ships to your FFL dealer, where the background check takes place.
