The Cimarron Lightning is a single action revolver chambered in .32-20, with a 5.5-inch barrel and a birdshead grip. It ships with an additional .32 H&R Magnum cylinder, and the 6-round capacity and walnut grips give it classic single action lines.

Owners of the Cimarron Lightning in .32-20 tend to appreciate the dual-cylinder setup. Being able to swap between .32-20 and .32 H&R Magnum without any gunsmithing is the most-cited selling point, and the birdshead grip gets favorable comments for how it fills the hand on a small-frame revolver.

The Lightning's single action trigger is generally well-regarded, though a few owners note that the factory action benefits from a light smoothing job before the timing feels truly consistent. Fit and finish on these Cimarron imports runs from good to excellent depending on the production run, which causes some variation in first-impression quality.

Value is the common theme in longer-term owner feedback. The .32-20 chambering keeps recoil mild, and having a companion cylinder extends the revolver's utility at the range. Some buyers wish the walnut grips were checkered rather than smooth.
