Howdy

Cimarron is an importer, they do not make anything. Most of their revolvers are made by Uberti, but I think they may have started importing some Piettas recently too.

I have had two Cimarron Cattlemen, both chambered for 45 Colt, both bought used.

The first one was a dog. Worst trigger pull of any revolver I ever felt, and the barrel was not screwed in properly, the front sight leaned to one side, causing all the shots to go to one side. I got rid of it and used the money towards a Ruger.

I took a chance on another one a couple of years later and it was OK. Not a Colt, but not too bad. I still have it. I only shoot it with Black Powder.

As stated, Fast Draw is very hard on guns. Most of the guns in Fast Draw have been heavily modified for the sport. Cowboy Fast Draw not so much. You should look into it more before you spend your money on a gun for Fast Draw.
