Press release:
Fredericksburg, Texas (January 2018) – Cimarron Firearms, recognized as the leader in quality and authenticity in Old West replica firearms, reveal their exclusive US Marshal 1873 Model carbine at the 2018 SHOT Show, in celebration of “The Gun that Won the West.”
Early in 2017, Cimarron received a request from an active US Marshal. He wanted a duty carbine that honored the US Marshal’s illustrious past but was also functional for today’s lawman. Over the past year, Cimarron worked tirelessly to develop a historic design on the Model 1873 carbine that was ready to serve in the name of law and order again.
Cimarron Firearms based the new 1873 US Marshal on an original 1873 Winchester presented to an active US Marshal in 1880 by his boss, Judge Isaac Parker of the Indian Territory. The Cimarron is an accurate copy of the original Winchester 1873 carbine, with stock slightly shortened and the barrel cropped by two inches, making it easier for Marshals to carry in their vehicles.
Built for the 44 Mag cartridge, the US Marshal 1873 carbine lever-action features the traditional saddle ring, ladder rear sight, sliding dust cover and the iconic semi-crescent steel carbine buttplate all on a blue steel frame and barrel with US Marshal markings. The US Marshal 1873 has an MSRP of $1,402.70 and will be available end of the first quarter of 2018.
“The 1873 carbine was a very popular firearm used by those men deputized to preserve law and order in what was truly the Wild, Wild West.” Jamie Wayt, vice president of media for Cimarron Firearms, remarked. “To receive this request from an active US Marshall for a firearm that represents their history and service and to make it to be fully functional for today’s Marshals, was not only a challenge, but truly an honor.”
The US Marshals and their deputies have been instrumental as a civil authority in most of America’s major historical episodes over the past 200 years. The US Marshals, created by the first Congress in the Judiciary Act of 1789, fulfilled the function of authority under the Federal Government, and brought law and justice to an ever expanding western wilderness. As each territory was established, US Marshals were appointed as the voice of the law. Besides acting as lawmen, Marshals and their Deputies were also administrators, setting up courts, documenting cases and serving the communities in a civil capacity.
Judge Isaac Charles Parker, known as the “Hanging Judge” for trying more than 13,490 cases, and sentencing 160 people to death, of which 79 were eventually executed, respected the Marshal’s ability to track down fugitives and bring the lawless to justice. Between 1875 and 1889, Parker’s court held sway over the Indian Territory. Cimarron’s new 1873 US Marshal Model pays tribute to Parker’s action of ceremoniously giving a Model 1873 to a US Marshal for his service.

The original 1873 carbine was designed by Winchester® Repeating Arms Company and first offered in the powerful .44-40 cartridge. The gun became every deputy’s favorite side arm for its accuracy and its lever-action repeating assembly performance. Over 720,000 were produced, thus it became the most popular lever-action, long gun in America and was marketed by Winchester as “The Gun that Won the West.”

Damnit, I’m moving to VA this summer. It’s only for 2-3 years, but if VA goes full retard, I’ll have to store the fun stuff in another state. Just like when I had to move to Massachusetts.
Shitholes are places not people.
Shitheads are people not places.
Assholes bring Shitheads to America from shitholes to vote for assholes.
Between this and the FK-BRNO from a few days ago, it seems like the upcoming trend is firearms that look like mocked-up guns from a scifi movie.
Both are bulkier than they probably need to be, but I’m not about the claim they don’t look pretty badass, ’cause they do.
just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. just when you think nothing can be uglier than TTAG’s last new gun article, there’s another.
Ok, these are starting to get rediculous.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my guns… but I kind of get the feeling that all the ones who carry tons of gear lean a bit in the unrealistic direction.
Every time I hear someone say “I carry 3 guns on me, have 5 in the car, and every room in my house has at least 6 easily accessible weapons at all times”
Well, my first thought is, move out of Chicago.
My next thought is, these guys can’t be legit.
Maybe its time to reconsider your life choices that have led you to the point of needing a small artillery team in order to move about your every day life.
Realistically, if you were in THAT kind of danger on a daily basis, you’d be dead by now, or at least be decked out in full body armor every day. I know if I KNOW for sure that I’m gonna get into a gunfight, I’m putting armor on before I pack that 3rd pistol.
Looks very cool. I especially like the built in bubble levels.

Strange life
An airsoft gun…
I don’t see a solution to this. While I may hate having to clean up that aisle on my store and they are one of the most frequently shoplifted items we carry, I can’t see any benefit to making any changes to the legal availability of them or mandates regarding their manufactured appearance.
Maybe keeping them readily available will mean more idiots getting shot by armed civilians and police. It’s cynical but that’s the best philosophy I can come up with here.

I’m liking it. Seems like it could be a very capable home defense weapon. Can’t wait to read the reviews. It looks like something out of an XCOM game.
Just bought one and will be returning it unfired to the dealer, both magazines will not feed properly and jams when manually trying to feed the gun. In my opinion it is a POS.
“Sponsored shooter”? Do you have more information than what’s found in that Glamour article, Nick, or is this what the president would call “fake news”?
