Owners of the Cimarron Frontier in .357 pick it up primarily for cowboy action shooting or as a working single-action revolver that doesn't require the investment of a Colt. The case-hardened and blued finish combination is widely praised for its traditional appearance, and the walnut grips are considered comfortable and well-fitted.

The Old Model configuration draws dedicated fans who prefer the original-style action, though it requires extra care during loading and unloading since there is no transfer bar. That safety consideration is something most owners note as part of the learning curve rather than a deal-breaker.

Value is generally seen as solid for the price segment. Some owners note that cylinder timing and action smoothness vary between units, and that a basic trigger job improves the feel noticeably. The dual caliber compatibility with .38 Special is a practical plus that makes range sessions more economical.
