Open Top® Revolvers

Before the Colt Single Action Army ever left the drawing board, there was the 1872 Open Top — the revolver that proved cartridge ammunition was the future of the American sidearm. Cimarron's Open Top Revolvers recreate this crucial missing link in Colt history with the 1872 Open Top Navy and 1872 Open Top Army models, chambered in period-correct rounds like .38 Colt/Special and .44 Special/Colt/Russian. Built by Uberti to Cimarron's demanding standards, each Open Top features the distinctive top-strap-free frame and elegant lines that made the original a favorite among Old West shooters before the SAA took its place. Finish options and Custom Shop upgrades let you tailor this rare reproduction to your taste, whether it's destined for a display case or a leather holster. This is a must-have for serious revolver historians, transitional-era collectors, and anyone building a complete timeline of Colt's cartridge revolvers.
