The Cimarron CA980 Lightning combines classic single-action design with modern reliability for competitive shooting and recreational use. This authentic reproduction delivers consistent performance with its traditional double-action mechanism and precision-machined components.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard single-action revolvers, the Lightning features a unique double-action trigger system that allows both single and double-action operation. The color case hardened frame provides enhanced durability compared to standard blued finishes, while the birdshead grip configuration offers superior control during rapid fire sequences. The 3.5-inch barrel length strikes an optimal balance between accuracy and maneuverability.Key Features
