When it comes to nostalgic firearms and their historical significance, Cimarron Firearms makes some of the truest and best available. The Colt 1896 Special Target Model made such a name for its self at England’s iconic Bisley Common shooting range that they changed the name of this historic pistol. Thus the Bisley Model was born! This is a Peacemaker turned target pistol. Changes include an enlarged trigger guard and a radically curved grip to provide minimal shift and better control for more consistent shot placement. The frame is 3/16 of an inch longer and it has a low wide hammer. This reduces travel and minimizes disturbance of the hand placement. It quickly became the favorite sport shooting pistol of its time, but for the next two decades it was also a favorite of cowboys and adventures in the American southwest and northern Mexico. Revolutionary General Pancho Villa carried a Bisley as did the Canadian train robber Bill Miner. It features two piece walnut grips and a sturdy easy to use bladed front sight. The Cimarron Bisley is ready for Cowboy Action Shooting competitions or just some good ol’ target shooting fun. Regardless of why you need one or maybe you just want one, the Cimarron Firearms Bisley Model is an excellent addition to your collection. Get your cowboy action fix with Cimarron.
