Features 

The Model P is based on the 1873 Colt pattern but built with Cimarron's Cowboy Comp Action, which tightens up the mechanical tolerances that made some period guns finicky. The result is a smoother trigger and more consistent lockup than a straight reproduction would give you. 
 
The 4.75-inch barrel is the classic cavalry length — short enough to clear leather quickly, long enough for decent sight radius. The .357 Mag chambering also accepts .38 Special, so you can run lighter loads for practice without switching guns. 
 
Fit and finish on the Model P is tighter than most production single-actions at this price point. Cimarron sources their frames from Uberti and does their own action work, which is why the Cowboy Comp designation exists as a distinct product. 
 

Target Audience 

• Cowboy action shooters who need a reliable 1873-pattern gun that passes period inspection 
• Collectors focused on quality reproductions 
• Shooters looking for a capable .357/.38 revolver in a classic format 
   

Usage Scenarios 

• SASS and cowboy action competition 
• Range use with .38 Special or .357 Mag 
• Collection alongside other 1873-pattern firearms

The Cimarron Model P with the 4.75-inch barrel gets steady positive feedback, particularly from cowboy action shooters who care about period-correct appearance and mechanical reliability. The Cowboy Comp Action gets specific mention — users notice the trigger pull is noticeably smoother than stock Uberti reproductions, which translates directly to competitive shooting.

The .357/.38 dual compatibility is appreciated. A lot of owners run .38 Special for practice and reserve .357 Mag for more serious use, and the ability to do that without swapping guns is a real convenience.

A few users flag a break-in period before the action reaches its best feel, which is typical for single-action revolvers with tight tolerances. Weight and balance comparisons to modern revolvers come up occasionally — the Model P is heavier and sits differently than a K-frame, which isn't a surprise given the design, but it's worth knowing if you're new to the 1873 pattern.

Collectors tend to be satisfied with the craftsmanship. The consensus is that Cimarron's quality control justifies the price over buying a base Uberti import.
