Cimarron Firearms US Artillery Case Hardened .45LC 5.5 Barrel 6-Rounds

Overview

Cimarron Firearms USV Artillery Features The Cimarron Firearms USV Artillery is a faithful reproduction of the iconic Artillery Model revolvers that served the United States during the Spanish American War. These firearms were originally 1873 single-action revolvers that were returned to the Springfield Arsenal to be refurbished and shortened for easier handling. The barrels were cut from the original cavalry length down to a more manageable 5.5 making them a favorite among artillery batteries and eventually the famous Rough Riders. This reproduction captures that unique era of military transition with stunning historical accuracy and attention to detail. Every aspect of this revolver is designed to mirror the antique originals found in Cimarron s collection including the authentic martial markings and government inspector cartouches. The frame features the classic U.S. stamp while the metal is finished in a beautiful color case hardening that provides a period-correct look. With a wood grip and fixed sights the USV Artillery offers the same tactile experience as the sidearms carried up San Juan Hill by Teddy Roosevelt and his men. It serves as both a functional single-action revolver and a significant piece of American military history for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
