Cimarron Model P owners frequently describe the fit and finish as well above what the price would suggest for a production revolver. The case hardened color case on the frame is the detail most mentioned in positive reviews, with buyers noting it looks as good in person as in photographs. Trigger pull on single action is clean, though opinions differ on whether the action needs a light polish out of the box.

The .38-40 Winchester chambering is a niche choice that draws dedicated fans of the cartridge. Owners appreciate the authenticity, but sourcing ammunition is a regular topic, and many note that factory loads can be difficult to find compared to .45 Colt. Handloaders tend to be the most satisfied long-term owners.

At the range, the 5.5-inch barrel gives good leverage for slow-fire accuracy work, and the Model P is a common choice for Cowboy Action Shooting competition. The most common criticism is that the front sight is narrow for aging eyes, and a few owners mention the cylinder timing needed adjustment after purchase.
