The Cimarron MP401 Model P delivers authentic single-action performance in dual .357 Magnum/.38 Special chambering. This traditional six-shooter combines period-correct aesthetics with modern manufacturing precision for shooters who demand both historical accuracy and reliable function.
What Makes This Different
Unlike modern double-action revolvers, the MP401 maintains the classic Colt Single Action Army profile with an exposed hammer and traditional loading gate. The 5.5-inch barrel length provides the optimal balance between accuracy and portability that made this configuration legendary among frontier lawmen and cowboys. Cimarron's attention to detail includes proper case-hardening colors and traditional bluing processes that replicate 19th-century finishes.
Key Features
- Dual caliber capability fires both .357 Magnum and .38 Special cartridges
- 5.5-inch blued steel barrel with traditional rifling for enhanced accuracy
- Six-shot cylinder with spring-loaded ejector rod for efficient reloading
- Genuine walnut grip panels with period-correct checkering pattern
- Exposed hammer with four-click action for precise trigger control
- Traditional loading gate design allows single cartridge loading
- Blued steel frame and cylinder resist corrosion and wear
The MP401 excels in cowboy action shooting competitions where authenticity matters as much as performance. The single-action trigger breaks cleanly for precise shot placement, while the .357 Magnum capability provides sufficient power for hunting medium game. Weather-resistant blued finish stands up to regular range use and outdoor conditions without compromising the classic appearance.
