I have an original Winchester 1873 in 32 WCF, a Colt Lightening pump rifle, Savage Sporter and Colt Police Positive, all in 32-20. I was looking for an original Colt SAA in 32-20 for many years, but tough to find a nice one for less than $2000. So I finally ordered a Cimarron Model P in 32 WCF. Bought it on GB, a little over $500 with fees, shipping and $30 to my FFL.
Cimarron’s SAA’s are made by Uberti. Cimarron works closely with Uberti to make sure the QC is better than average. The last two Cimarron’s I’ve bought were both excellent in every way. This one is beautiful, great blue, nice fake case colors and attractive wood. I like long barrels for Cowboy action shooting and maybe taking afield.
The target in the picture was my first five shots, at 15 yards, with Winchester 100 grain lead bullet factory loads. POI was 1 inch below POA (6 o’clock hold) 3 shots clustered, one about 1/4 inch from those, then the fifth opening it up to a one inch group. Moving back to 25 yards made the POI a smidge lower and a 2 1/2 inch group. Certainly no problem hitting steel pistol target in CAS, as they run about 7 to 10 yards out. And no doubt minute of bunny or coyote out to 50 yards.
Action is super smooth, feels like it’s had an action job from the factory. Trigger is no creep, -3 lb break. No transfer bar, hammer mounted firing pin. I have Colt and other Uberti’s worked over by an excellent cowboy gunsmith and this pistol is their equal. I couldn’t be more pleased.
I have an original Winchester bullet mold and reload 32-20 with that slug and 3F real black powder. It will be fun to shoot them through this mini boomer. I may experiment with some jacketed bullets and smokeless, with the modern steel I should be able to equal 327 Federal velocities.
