The Cimarron 1860 Richards-Mason Type 2 in .38 Special (brand part no. CA9063) is a single-action revolver styled after the historic cartridge-conversion revolvers that adapted percussion-era Colt 1860 frames to fire metallic cartridges, built with a shorter 5.5-inch barrel. Cimarron Firearms finishes the barrel in standard blue over a case-hardened frame and fits a one-piece walnut grip, with a fixed sight for the traditional profile. The 6-round cylinder is chambered in .38 Special. Among six-shooters in the revolvers category, this shorter-barreled Richards-Mason favors collectors and single-action shooters who want a more compact cartridge-conversion profile.
