\u201cI\u2019m your Huckleberry!\u201d The\nphrase conjures up scenes of Doc Holliday facing down bad guys, eyes gleaming and\nfingers gently toying with the curvaceous grips of an unusual-looking revolver.\nAnd yup! This is the gun. Close enough anyway, that you can thumb in some\ncartridges, buckle on the handsome piece, and say, \u201cWyatt Earp is mah Frayend!\u201d\nOr you can just take your unusual new sixgun to the range and have an unusually\ngood time perforating evil targets or ringing sinister steel silhouettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cimarron<\/a>
Blued steel, color casehardening, and walnut stocks are a pleasing combination on Cimarron\u2019s little Lightning revolver. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DESIGN<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Patterned to look like Colt\u2019s classic 1877 double-action revolver, the Cimarron Lightning<\/a>\u2019s most eye-popping feature is its distinctive \u201cBird\u2019s Head\u201d grip. It\u2019s a curvaceous handle that eliminates the heel present on most 19th<\/sup> century revolvers while adding a small saw-handle type spur atop the grip. The grip was likely ahead of its time; if you pay attention you\u2019ll notice many similarities to modern, small-frame revolver grips. The handle felt good in my hand and very comfortable while shooting, though I felt like muzzle jump was a bit higher than with a classic peacemaker grip. I believe that was because, sans the standard heel, which I usually keep my pinky finger locked under to help with recoil management, the barrel was freer to rise during recoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cimarron<\/a>
The handle silhouette of the Lightning is sleek and curvaceous and would lend to comfortable carry. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ACTION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Cimarron Lightning\u2019s design\ndoes feature one radical departure from Colt\u2019s classic \u201977 revolver, having abandoned\nthe original (and very problematic) double action in favor of a significantly\nmore reliable single-action design. This also renders the revolver kosher for\nCowboy Action Shooting. Crisp, tight, and smooth, the action cycles and feels\njust like a nice single-action peacemaker. And just like a classic peacemaker,\nthe action does not feature a transfer bar mechanism \u2013 meaning that you should\nonly carry five rounds in the cylinder, leaving one chamber empty for the\nhammer to rest over. (Theoretically, should the hammer rest over a live\ncartridge and be dealt a hard blow from aft-ward, it could detonate the\ncartridge, resulting in an accidental discharge.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cimarron<\/a>
In classic single-action style; to load the Lightning revolver you simple place the hammer on half cock, open the loading gate, and feed the cartridges in one-by-one. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

FIT, FINISH, AND FUNCTION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fit and finish on the little Lightning revolver were very good. One-piece walnut grips grace the handle, contrasting nicely with Cimarron\u2019s deep, richly-blued metalwork and beautiful pre-war-type color casehardening, making the sixgun \u201cpop\u201d with pleasing visual authority. The only \u201cthing\u201d I found during my testing (I call it a thing because it doesn\u2019t qualify as an issue) is that ejector rod function was a bit rough. That\u2019s not to say that it didn\u2019t work \u2013 it did \u2013 but it didn\u2019t work as smoothly as I would have liked. Otherwise, everything worked flawlessly. The loading gate was tight and crisp, the action cycled perfectly, and the trigger broke crisp and clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cimarron<\/a>
The trigger on my Cimarron six-shooter averaged a crisp two pounds three ounces. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

SIGHTS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Lightning\u2019s sights are fixed, and very traditional. A nicely machined groove atop the frame forms the rear sight, and the front sight is a simple round-profile blade. During testing, I found that most ammo impacted about two inches low and one inch left at 10 yards – pretty standard deviation for a traditional fixed-sight revolver. The elevation is easy to adjust with a file, just remember there is no going back once you\u2019ve removed metal. Take your time, file the front sight down (to bring your impact up) very carefully and cleanly, and once you\u2019ve reached your desired adjustment, polish and touch up with a bit of cold blue. Windage is a bit trickier, and might best be left to a qualified gunsmith. If you opt to attempt it yourself, you can use a crescent wrench tightly fit to the front blade, and bend the blade ever so slightly opposite<\/em> the direction you want your impact to go. In other words, if you need your impact to move right, bend the front blade left. But proceed with caution, or you can bugger up your beautiful revolver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAuthors note: Cimarron advises against bending\nthe front sight, and will correct the problem for a reasonable fee if you send\nthe revolver to them.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cimarron<\/a>
Traditional fixed sights atop a revolver can be hard to adjust, but once sighted in they stay zeroed forever. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

SAFETY<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Per standard sixgun design there is no safety, per se, on the Lightning revolver. However, the handgun does feature a unique hammer stop mechanism, created by over-seating the cylinder pin. Once activated, the hammer will contact the cylinder pin instead of the primer, rendering the revolver incapable of firing. To engage this safety mechanism simply depress the cylinder pin retainer, and push the cylinder pin rearward until the cylinder pin retainer engages the second groove in the pin. To deactivate, reverse the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BARREL LENGTHS AND CHAMBERINGS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My Lightning revolver is chambered in .38 Special and features a 4 \u00be-inch barrel. The sixgun is available in 3 \u00bd\u201d, 4 \u00be\u201d, 5 \u00bd\u201d, and 6 \u00bd\u201d iterations, and chambered in .38 Special, .41 Colt, and .22 Long Rifle (10-round cylinder). \u201cDueling\u201d Lightning models are also available with dual interchangeable cylinders chambered in .32-20 and .32H&R. Overall weight on my model is 1.83 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cimarron<\/a>
I like the .38 Special for the myriad projectile weights and ammunitions available anywhere ammo is sold. It\u2019s a versatile, capable round that\u2019s friendly to shoot. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

CONCLUSION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Cimarron Lightning revolver is a well-made, fairly accurate six-shooter well suited to Cowboy Action Shooting, plinking, and daily use. Its striking appearance will be a conversation starter, and with its light(ish) weight and rounded grip, it would be comfortable for everyday carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cimarron<\/a>
A good-guy sixgun and a good-guy hat. Gotta get you some. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ACCURACY TEST RESULTS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Note: Testing was performed\nfrom a rested position at 10 yards, with a Shooting Chrony chronograph set 10\nfeet in front of the muzzle. Three, 5-shot groups were fired with each\nammunition, the results added together and averaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He prefers the company of his horses, dogs, and rifles to that of his fellow humans, with the notable exception of his lovely wife and children, whom he thoroughly enjoys. He writes for various hunting and shooting publications on the subjects of backcountry hunting, fine shooting implements, and survival. This is for the purpose of putting food on the table and shoes on those lovely children's feet, and because it is a way to pay forward the knowledge he has gleaned from years of living and hunting in wild places.","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/author\/aram-von-benedikt\/"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/aramrevol-6-1-150x100.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113772"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113772\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":185581,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113772\/revisions\/185581"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113772"},{"taxonomy":"featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured?post=113772"},{"taxonomy":"hunt365","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hunt365?post=113772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
