Cimarron 1860 Army Civilian .44 cal., 8″, Blue Steel Frame

The 1860 Army, a .44 caliber cap and ball revolver, combined ease of handling with power and streamlined looks. Out of the more than 200,000 ’60 Army models produced from 1860-1873, over 73,300 civilian versions of this popular revolver were produced. A favorite with many westerners, the ’60 model was known to have been used by the notorious James-Younger gang, John Wesley Hardin, Mormon “Avenging Angel” Porter Rockwell, Wells Fargo detective James Hume, the Texas Rangers and Sam Bass, to name a few. Despite his reputation with the 1851 Navy model, there is a circa 1864 photo of “Wild Bill” Hickok packing a pair of 1860 Army revolvers in his holsters–butt forward!
 
Cimarron’s 1860 Army Civilian model duplicates those sixguns made for the public market, and like the pricey originals, this .44-bore revolver is offered in the 3-screw civilian-style color case hardened frame, loading lever and hammer, with an 8-inch round barrel in Standard Blue and Charcoal Blue. It’s also available in their Original Finish. The ’60 civilian sports a brass trigger guard and back strap, fitted to handsome one-piece walnut stocks. Cimarron’s detail perfect replica represents one of the true classic six-shooters of the Wild West of the 1860s and early 1870s!
