Owners of the Cimarron 1872 Open Top Army appreciate its connection to the original 1872 open-top cartridge revolver design. The 7.5-inch barrel and nickel finish draw consistent praise for visual authenticity, and most report smooth single-action timing out of the box.

The trigger and cylinder timing get good marks from cowboy-action shooters and collectors alike. Some owners note the open-top frame feels less rigid than later solid-frame designs, which a small number consider a trade-off for the period-correct look.

On value, the 1872 Open Top Army tends to land in a range that collectors find reasonable for an Italian-made reproduction. A few owners wish the walnut grips had finer checkering, but the general consensus is that the fit and finish hold up well for the price.
