The Thunderer was Colt's double action revolver of the 1870s, and Cimarron's Old Model is a single action version of the same style. This revolver is chambered in .45 Colt with a blued and case hardened finish.

The Old Model tag means it has the older style frame and the screw retained cylinder pin. Collectors tend to prefer it for the traditional look. It is a smooth looking revolver with sweeping lines.

In use, it handles like a standard single action. The hammer is easy to reach, the grip fits the hand and the revolver points naturally. Cowboy action shooters will find it fits into a rig well.

The blue and case colors give it an elegant appearance. It's a good choice for those who want a classic look with a slightly different profile than a Peacemaker. Wipe it down and keep it oiled. 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 price is mid range for an imported single action. The listing is new. It ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
