Cimmaron Old Model P

[medic15al]

Hi! I just obtained a Cimmaron Old Model P 5 1/2 in Bbl. In Charcoal blue and wanted to Post an observation.

I have a Pietta 4 3/4 in copy (Heritage) In the later frame format also, and was surprised when cleaning my Cimmaron that the cylinder bushing is a two piece affair compared to he later frame's one piece unit. I guess the Old Model P really is a copy of the SAA 1st gen!

BTW both are 45 Colt and fired with blackpowder loads! THOMP!

They compare closely to the first generation colts but their chambers and bores are much more precise than the older colts'
