About this product
What is the Cimarron Man With No Name .38 Special 7.5in Revolver? It's a faithful single-action reproduction of the 1851 conversion revolver chambered in .38 Special with a 7.5-inch barrel and six-round cylinder. This firearm replicates the exact specifications seen in mid-20th century Western films, built with period-correct materials including a case-hardened frame, blued barrel, and one-piece walnut grip. Designed for historical authenticity, it meets the needs of collectors and cowboy-action shooters who prioritize mechanical accuracy and visual detail.
What is the Cimarron Man With No Name .38 Special 7.5in Revolver used for?
This revolver is used for historical shooting, collecting, and cowboy-action competition. Its single-action mechanism and fixed sights require deliberate firing, making it ideal for reenactments or matches where authenticity matters. The 7.5-inch barrel provides improved sight radius over shorter alternatives, aiding accuracy in timed events.
How does the Cimarron Man With No Name .38 Special 7.5in Revolver compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Cimarron revolver excels in historical authenticity and single-action mechanics, while the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win offers modern bolt-action reliability and higher practical accuracy. The Stevens 334 is better for hunting or precision shooting at ranges beyond 100 yards, whereas the Cimarron is superior for period-correct collections or cowboy-action scenarios under 50 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This revolver weighs 2.8 pounds (44.8 ounces) and measures 13.5 inches in overall length. The 7.5-inch barrel contributes to its balance, and the cylinder diameter is 1.75 inches, making it manageable for extended shooting sessions compared to heavier modern revolvers.
Who is this NOT for?
This revolver is not for tactical or self-defense use due to its single-action-only operation and fixed sights. It requires cocking before each shot, which slows firing compared to double-action revolvers like the Ruger GP100. Those needing rapid follow-up shots or night sights should consider alternatives.
What's in the box?
The box includes the revolver, one 6-round cylinder, and a basic owner's manual. Unlike modern firearms, it does not come with a cleaning kit or spare parts; expect to purchase those separately for maintenance after approximately 500 rounds.
Is the Cimarron Man With No Name .38 Special 7.5in Revolver worth it at $705.99?
At $705.99, it's worth it for collectors and historical shooters who value authenticity. The price reflects the hand-fitted components and period-correct finishes, though it's $200 more than utilitarian revolvers like the Heritage Rough Rider. For dedicated cowboy-action competitors or display purposes, the investment justifies the detail.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with +P .38 Special ammunition?
- No, it is not rated for +P ammunition due to its historical design and case-hardened frame. Stick to standard pressure .38 Special loads with a maximum pressure of 17,000 PSI to avoid accelerated wear or potential damage. Always verify with Cimarron's ammunition guidelines before firing.
- Does it fit standard holsters?
- It fits most holsters designed for 7.5-inch barrel single-action revolvers, but may not accommodate modern double-action models. The overall length of 13.5 inches requires a specific holster; we recommend models from Triple K or El Paso Saddlery for proper retention.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-7 business days for in-stock items, depending on your location and FFL availability. All firearms require shipment to a licensed dealer for transfer, adding 1-2 days for processing. Contact Ironclad Armory for expedited options.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused items in original packaging, but firearms must undergo a safety inspection before approval. A 15% restocking fee applies, and return shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. Refer to our return policy for details.
- Does this work with common speed loaders?
- No, it does not work with standard speed loaders due to its single-action design and loading gate. Reloading requires individual cartridge insertion, which takes approximately 10-15 seconds per round compared to 2-3 seconds with a double-action revolver and speed loader.
