Texas-based Cimarron Firearms has released some beautiful new pistols for 2018.
The Wild Bill 1851 Conversion above comes in .38 Special, while the Buffalo Bill Conversion is chambered in the traditional .44-40. Both revolvers evoke Fats Domino’s My Blue Heaven, bedecked in a surfeit of machined engraving.
In the neat but why column: Cimarron’s Pocket Navy Conversion Revolver in .380ACP. Answering my own question, if you’re going to convert the legendary wheelgun from percussion to center fire, why not just go ahead and use a round you can actually find? Not a bad idea after all.
I like the engraving.
Common sense starts with the observable fact of self-ownership. Acknowledging that means first that I alone am ultimately responsible for my own safety, and thus no one else can tell me how or with what means I may defend myself.
A corollary is that any law someone wants passed to make me jump through hoops to make them feel better should be paid for in full by that someone.
From their website: “It is non-electrically conductive and does not throw a metal signature should the unexpected Garret wand comes out.”
I’m not sure about the wisdom of a company openly advertising that their knives are meant to get past security. On that topic though I wonder how it does with backscatter tech like TSA uses. I’ve been through that quite a bit recently and it seems to be extremely hit or miss and have gaps in what it sees.
“…the gun removal task force”
Has anyone scheduled the next revolution yet? Because with the exception of a dentist appointment next week my calendar is pretty flexible.
I too have been waiting for a colt pocket cartridge gun. But 380 ? The only logical cal. is 38 LC . It is the same as the original 38 rimfire. and many shooters already load it. I may buy one and ream the chambers or build my own.
