Cimarron firearms are literally a blast from the past. They provide the user with a great firearm for reenactments, cowboy-style shooting, or collectors looking for a piece of historic nostalgia. The best part of the Cimarron product line is the detail to historic accuracy, making the majority of parts at the Uberti factory in Italy, which is known for producing a wide range of Beretta old west style parts. While the parts come from high-quality European manufacturers, the Cimarron firearms are all assembled in the USA to ensure the same quality of the original designs.

 Since their start in 1984, Cimarron guns have been a staple in the industry for those who want to own a piece of history without breaking the bank. Maintaining the level of accuracy is done by having a wide variety of 19th century Colt revolvers to compare and ensure that all firearms leaving production lines are built to these same painstaking standards. Unlike many other firearms companies reaching for the same niche market, Cimarron is one of the first official sponsors of cowboy action shooting sports and they even help to organize similar activities.

 Besides a handful of revolvers, Cimarron side-by-side shotguns are among some of the most popular firearms in the Cimarron product line. They use the very effective century-old design that customers depend on. Many Cimarron firearms owners, such as myself, are not really cowboy action shooters, and instead rely on the Cimarron as a dependable shotgun for when in the woods or just hiking around rural America. The Cimarron side by side gives the user the ability to keep a slug and bird shot ready at a moment’s notice; keeping the predators at bay is what sold me.

Despite my personal feelings, I still believe the Cimarron lever action is also a must have; today, they are almost unmatched for reliability. They are operated by the user, unlike dirty gas systems or piston systems which add felt recoil. These rifles are the perfect example of the old adage, “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” Cimarron not only makes the time-tested designs, but makes them fit the same specifications that made them so great in the first place.

 No matter what type of shooter you are, Cimarron firearms have a place in the hearts and hands of most Americans. These firearms come with a flawless American Walnut grip and superb finishing to ensure that they will never disappoint even the most particular of collectors. So when you’re looking for a new firearm that has to be quality, or looking for the right gift for somebody special, the Cimarron firearms are sure to deliver the solid design that companies like Colt and Henry depended on to make their name. Throughout my years in the firearms industry, the Cimarron name is still the best for the money when looking for a piece of old west history. Don’t get caught with a cheap knockoff; when it has to be reliable, it has to be Cimarron.
