Cimarron Holy Smoker 357 Magnum 4.75 in. Nickel – Flawless Silver Cross Revolver

Description

The Cimarron Holy Smoker 357 Magnum (Cimarron model PP300WSCI01BG) is a 4.75-inch, six-shot single-action revolver with a bright nickel finish and black grips carrying an inlaid silver cross on the right panel, chambered for 357 Magnum and 38 Special.

Cimarron Holy Smoker 357 Magnum Overview

The Holy Smoker is one of Cimarron’s character guns, built by Pietta in Italy on the 1873 Single Action Army pattern with a Pre-War style frame. Where most Western replicas lean on walnut and color case colors, this one goes for contrast: polished nickel plating over the frame, cylinder and barrel, set against black grip panels with a silver cross. It is meant to be noticed on the firing line or in a display case, but underneath the styling it is a conventional, shootable single action.

The Look

The silver cross inlay sits on the right grip panel, so it faces out when the gun rides in a cross-draw rig or is displayed muzzle left. Factory and distributor photos show slightly different cross styles, so expect minor variation in the inlay design from batch to batch. The nickel is bright and mirror-like, which looks striking in sunlight but will show fingerprints, so a soft cloth belongs in your range bag.

357 Magnum and 38 Special

This revolver fires both 357 Magnum and the shorter 38 Special, which is a real advantage for a single action. Mild 38 Special cowboy loads are cheap, soft shooting and ideal for practice and matches, while full-power 357 Magnum gives you more energy for informal field use. Expect brisk muzzle blast and noticeable recoil with hot magnum loads in a gun of this size, and wear quality hearing protection.

Handling

Operation is classic single action: bring the hammer to half cock, open the loading gate, load one chamber at a time, then close the gate. Spent cases are pushed out with the ejector rod. Sights are fixed, a groove in the topstrap and a blade up front, so choose a load that hits close to point of aim. Traditional practice is to carry five rounds with the hammer resting on an empty chamber; follow the Cimarron manual for your revolver.

Caring for the Finish

Plated finishes are durable against rust but can be scratched by abrasive cleaners, steel brushes used carelessly near the muzzle, or rough holsters. Clean with a soft brush and solvent that is safe for plated guns, wipe dry and apply a light coat of oil. Lead fouling from cowboy loads cleans up easily with a bore brush. Store it in a lined case or sock to keep the high-polish surfaces looking fresh.

Honest Caveats

This is a style-forward revolver, and the price reflects the special grips and finish as much as the mechanics. The action and timing are standard Pietta quality, good but not custom-tuned. Fixed sights may not suit every load. Black grips and a religious motif are a matter of taste, and resale will depend on finding a buyer who loves the look. Holsters for a 4.75-inch single action are easy to find.

State Laws and Ownership

Handgun purchase rules vary by state. Some require a permit, purchase license or waiting period, and a few maintain approved handgun rosters, though many single-action revolvers qualify for exemptions. Pennsylvania buyers complete handgun transfers through a licensed dealer with a state background check. Confirm your local requirements before ordering.
