The Cimarron PPP357N Pistolero delivers classic single-action performance with modern reliability for competitive shooters and collectors. This nickel-plated revolver chambers both .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges, providing versatility for target practice and hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic cowboy-style revolvers, the Pistolero features a precision-machined 4.75-inch barrel with enhanced rifling for improved accuracy. The nickel-plated finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued steel, while the wide front sight offers faster target acquisition than traditional narrow blade sights. The dual-caliber capability allows shooters to practice with affordable .38 Special rounds and hunt with powerful .357 Magnum loads.
Key Features
- Dual-caliber compatibility: .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges

The 4.75-inch barrel length provides an optimal balance between accuracy and portability for cowboy action shooting competitions.
