I see this seller also has a Cimarron Holy Smoker for only $145 than the same gun at Midway. Oh yeah, and free shipping from Midway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallaby Damned Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 And midway usually delivers in a few days too. Love doing business with them. That CCH and blue looks really nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cholla Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 The Cavalry comes in Original, Charcoal, and Standard. I took photos of both the charcoal blue and the standard blue this weekend. I have to say the charcoal blue is stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokedawg SASS#60968 Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 Thanks guys....I will talk to my FFL in the AM about ordering one from Miday. I had on years ago and it got away from me. IIRC it was a 4 click....definitely no transfer bar safety. The new ones still have no transfer bar safety, correct?

Eyesa Horg Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Even in a picture on a phone, that charcoal blue is sweet. I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Smokedawg, yes the Cavalry, and all Old Model (BP frame) Cimarron Model P's are still 4-click. Here's mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's mine Make sure it is Cimarron for the 4 click. I purchased a Dixie Gun Works imported old model and it was the 3 click new-fangled Uberti firing pin safety gadget. (Nice looking Cavalry model, and good photo setup.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Just for reference here is the official 1875 Rules For The Inspection of Colt’s Army Revolver Inspection of Cylinders Stamp with inspector's letter on surface in the centre line of groove, two-tenths of an inch from rear end of cylinder. Prove and stamp with proof letter “P” on surface in the centre line of groove, two-tenths of an inch from rear end of cylinder. Inspection of Barrels Prove, and stamp with proof letter “P” on the under side, just forward of base pin. Stamp with Inspector’s letter just forward of proof stamp. Inspection of Guards Stamp with Inspector’s letter on front end, just in rear of the No. of Revolver Inspection of Back Straps Stamp with Inspector’s letter one-tenth of an inch from hammer slot, in line of centre. Inspection of Stocks Stamp with Inspector’s letter in the centre of the right hand side of butt. Final Inspection Sub-Inspector’s full initials as a receiving stamp should be placed on the left hand side of stock, one-tenth of an inch from butt. The US on the frame was applied by Colt, not by the military inspector. The Cimarron "Custer" Cavalry has all of these marks. Not all of them are in the exact locations and the Ainsworth "A" looks more like an inverted V but it as close as one can get to the real thing from what I have seen. I suspect this was done to make it harder for fakers to pass them off as real Ainsworth Colts. While this seems implausible, there are many people that show up on the Coltforum showing off the "Colt" they just bought only to find out it is a fake made overseas.
