Also known as: Arizona Ranger Big Iron, Cimarron ARBI400
Overview
The Cimarron Arizona Ranger Big Iron is a single-action revolver built as a faithful reproduction of the Colt Single Action Army. Chambered in .45 Colt, it uses a pre-war frame with a standard hammer and a six-round revolving cylinder. The 4.75-inch barrel is roll-engraved 'Arizona Ranger,' and the sixgun pairs a wide square-notch rear sight with a wide constant-width front sight over slim checkered walnut grips, evoking the frontier lawman revolvers of the Old West.
