Cimarron’s Pistolero in .357 Magnum: 1873 Colt Single Action

We’ve been enjoying trying out some classic “cowboy guns“. The trigger pull on a 1873 Colt-style single-action is really something that any trigger puller should experience. It’s amazing.

We all know it IS possible to build a 450hp Honda Civic, but that takes time, money, and knowledge. Sometimes you don’t want to, don’t know how to, or aren’t patient enough to go through all of that.

I want to start by saying that I LOVE laser sights. I own several of them and use them on high powered rifles, .22s and airsoft rifles. I bought my first Crimson Trace laser for a Kimber 1911 12 or 13 years ago. I use them for night shooting with night vision, I’ve used them […]
