Inspired by the classic Colt 1877 double action revolver, the Cimarron Lightning captures the elegance and historical appeal of the Old West while delivering modern reliability and durability. The original 1877 model, favored by legendary figures such as Billy the Kid, John Wesley Hardin, Calamity Jane and Pearl Hart, was known for its distinctive birdshead grip and compact frame. However, Colt's early double action design was notorious for its delicate and complex internal mechanisms. Cimarron has reimagined this iconic firearm as a single action revolver, preserving its graceful aesthetics while enhancing its strength and dependability for today's shooter. Designed by Cimarron's founder and president, Mike B. Harvey and manufactured with exceptional attention to detail, the Lightning retains the unmistakable look and feel of the 19th-century original while offering the simplicity of a single action system and the reliability of 21st-century craftsmanship. This revolver is offered in multiple barrel lengths, including 3-1/2 inches, 4-3/4 inches, 5-1/2 inches and 6-1/2 inches, with a choice of Standard Blue or color case-hardened finishes. Chambered in .41 Colt, .38 Special and a 10-shot .22LR variant depending on barrel length, the Lightning provides versatility for a range of shooting applications. Cimarron also offers Dueling Lightnings in.32-20 Winchester and .32 H&R Magnum, featuring dual cylinders in the shorter-barreled models, making this a timeless revolver that blends historical charm with modern performance.
