The Cimarron Uberti Open Top Army in .45 Colt (MPN CA916) reproduces the graceful lines of the original 1872 Open Top design, an early cartridge revolver that predates the more familiar 1873 single-action. Cimarron Firearms finishes the 7.5-inch barrel in standard blue over a color case-hardened frame, and fits a one-piece walnut grip for a classic period-correct feel. The 6-round cylinder chambers the classic .45 Colt cartridge, and the revolver weighs approximately 2.5 pounds. Among Old West reproductions in the revolvers category, the Open Top Army favors collectors and history-minded shooters drawn to this early cartridge-revolver design.
