Cimarron Firearms imported Uberti cowboy action shooting version of the 1872 Open Top Navy Grip Frame revolver. The 1871-72 Open Top was the forerunner of the famous and ever popular 1873 Colt "Model P" or Peacemaker. Open Top revolvers were manufactured during the same time period that gave us the percussion conversion models of Richards and Richards-Mason types, but Open Tops were manufactured as an entirely new model and did not use percussion revolver parts. Original 1872 Open Top revolvers were produced in rim fire only due to the ready availablity of 44 rim fire ammunition used in Henry and Winchester rifles throughout the American West. Also, the Open Top was engineered to eliminate some of the weaknesses inherent to the conversion revolvers available steels and, as a result, much stronger than the originals.
