Owners of the Cimarron El Malo 2 typically come from the single-action and cowboy-action shooting community and find the 4.75-inch octagon barrel a distinctive departure from the standard round-barrel SAA profile. The case color hardening on the Pre-War frame draws consistent appreciation for its traditional appearance.

The .45 Long Colt chambering is well-regarded for this platform. Most owners report smooth function out of the box, though single-action trigger feel varies from example to example and some shooters do a light action job after purchase.

Cimarron's El Malo 2 is positioned as an authentic-looking western revolver at a price below custom or vintage options. Buyers who prioritize the octagon barrel and Pre-War frame details tend to be satisfied; those focused purely on match performance sometimes prefer higher-tuned competitors.
