This Cimarron 1873 Thunderer is an Italian-made Uberti single-action reproduction in .45 Colt from the 1990s. It has a 4.75-inch barrel, a six-round cylinder, a bladed front sight, a blue barrel, a case-color hardened frame and checkered wood birdshead grips. Serial number C08915. The bore is excellent; the finish and grips show light marks, and the overall condition is very good. The original box is included.

The Thunderer's birdshead grip and short barrel were made for cowboy action shooters who want a compact single-action in .45 Colt, and a used example in very good shape is a sensible way into that game. It also suits anyone who wants a traditional 1873-pattern revolver for the range, with the case-hardened frame and blue barrel that give the pattern its look. Because the single action must be cocked for every shot, it is a deliberate gun rather than a fast one. Handgun buyers must be 21 at the dealer, and permit and waiting-period rules vary by state.
