Cimarron Firearms known for their authentic Old Western Firearm Replicas has decided to combine a classic design with modern features, for a rather unique single action suitable for every single action collection. The first released was the Biggest Badboy of them all, the 44Magnum.

Then I noticed Cimarron had recently made a new announcement, the release of its newest revolver to the BadBoy family chambered in 10mm.

THEREFORE I HAVE GIVEN BIRTH TO TWINS:

I haven't had much interest in the 10mm, but dang! I'm liking the looks of those! That would be so neat if they would mark one 1cm for me instead of 10mm!
 
Having been a 10MM fan since it's inception, I think that SA chambered in 10MM is pretty neat. I had one of the Ruger 38-40/10MM Blackhawks years ago, and seriously considered one of the current production Blackhawk .40/10MM guns. The 10 seems to be generating more interest among shooters and manufacturers lately. I'm all for it.

PS, I always enjoy your videos.
 
Mr.RG, No, sold it ages ago. Had no use for 38-40 at all, and didn't care for the long 6 1/2" barrel. Had no idea that those "Buckeye" guns would become collectors items one day. Of course, I am also the guy that sold his Bren Ten for $375.00. That's why I don't give investment advice;)
 
Cimarron is a good company with very nice firearms. Uberti is in the same camp. I love the look of the Badboy, but have no need for one. I do, however, have my own pair of "twins" .., 45 Colt peacemaker clones from Uberti, both tuned by one of the best cowboy action gunsmiths in the country. They both run like Swisss watches and are a HOOT to shoot!

These look nice, but can you call them Old Army replicas if they handle Super Blackhawk loads? The Colt old Army may still be in production.These won't handle the magnum pressure levels. Also the Peacemaker was never produced in 44mag or 10mm.

Very nice looking pistols with impressive performance.

I have a question about the Ford Blue bullets. What is the blue coating on them? It reminds me of the Barnes bullets with friction reducing coating.

Were they called TKW? The "Cop Killer" bullets from the 70's. They were teflon coated brass bullets that could penetrate kevlar body armor and then a dozen LA telephone books from the 70's.

If these were coated with a low friction polymer that would explain the excellent penetration and minimal expansion in the media.

Nice looking pieces, but I'm just not a fan of the 10mm. Bought my first Smith 41 Mag in the 80s and have had several. Currently using a 657 4" and a 5.5 Bisley. Biggest drawback, for me, is the lack of SWC hard lead hunting bullets for the 10.

They were KTW with bronze cores/ teflon coating. They were only available to law enforcement.
 
Lucky Gunner testing has 380 unexpanded hollow points going 30 inches (HST). Magtech 9mm hollow point went 31".

All FMJ from 380 through 45 goes within the same penetration as each other. 10mm should be no different. Or any handgun ammo for that matter.

KTW, very sharply pointed bullets made from tungsten alloy. The teflon coating was to protect the gun bore. Press thought the teflon was so they could "slip" easily through a vest, but as usual, they were wrong.

They were sold only to law enforcement, and there is no record anywhere of any cop ever being killed (or even shot) by one.



Nice looking revolvers, but do they do anything my New Model Ruger Blackhawks don't??

Can they be safely carried with 6? or are they 5 and empty chamber under the hammer guns like the original Colts?
 
I would personally carry them with 5 when out and about on the trail etc. On the range 6 I am I have no issues with due to the floating firing pin. I have tried an empty case with just a primer and striking the hammer with a mallet and nothing happened. But I do not want to just beating away on the hammer not mine to abuse :)
 
I own 2 Buckeye specials in .38-40/10mm. Can't imagine what the problem was with the 6-1/2 barrel; I love it. It's like owning two different guns in one....the .38-40 is a nice "push" and the 10mm is a sharp "snap"
