The Cimarron Preacher is a single-action revolver based on the 1858 New Army design, chambered in .45 Colt with an 8-inch barrel and a 6-round cylinder. The barrel and cylinder are blued steel, the frame is steel, and the grips are walnut. At 2.8 lbs., it has some heft to it, which suits the long barrel well at the range.

Detailed Features 

The 8-inch barrel gives this revolver a longer sight radius than shorter-barreled SAA variants, which helps with accuracy at target distances. Fixed sights keep it simple. The single-action mechanism requires cocking the hammer before each shot, which naturally encourages a slower, more deliberate pace. Walnut grips fill the hand without adding bulk.

The Cimarron Preacher draws a consistent crowd of cowboy action shooters and single-action revolver fans, and the reception is broadly positive.

The blued finish and walnut grips get regular praise for fit and appearance. Most owners describe the fit and finish as solid for the price range, with the 1858-style lines looking the part in competition or on the bench.

The 8-inch barrel gets mixed comments. Target shooters like the longer sight radius for accuracy; others find the weight and length awkward for anything requiring quick handling. At 2.8 lbs. it isn't light.

Single-action handling and the deliberate pace it imposes is welcomed by the target and cowboy-action crowd but noted as a limitation by anyone expecting faster work.

Parts availability comes up occasionally as a concern for long-term ownership, which is typical for import revolvers in this category. Customer service experiences vary.
