Owners drawn to the 1872 Open Top Navy are typically after the open-top frame aesthetic, which predates the solid-frame design most single-action revolvers carry today. The blued finish and walnut grips get consistent compliments, fit and finish on Cimarron imports are generally described as better than expected at this price range.

The .44 Special chambering is a recurring positive. It is mild to shoot in a full-size revolver, and owners who reload particularly appreciate having a low-pressure cartridge in this platform. The 7.5-inch barrel makes it a range and display piece rather than a field carry gun for most, and buyers generally understand that going in.

The 1872 Open Top does have its critics. The open-top design means the cylinder is slightly less rigidly supported than a solid-frame revolver, and some owners report that accuracy at distance is ordinary rather than impressive. Trigger feel splits opinion, some find it crisp for the price, others describe it as needing smoothing work before it feels right.
