The Cimarron Pistolero, a modern take on the 1873 Colt single-action revolver, is reviewed in .357 Magnum and .38 Special. The reviewer notes the nickel finish aids front sight visibility in low light but could be too reflective in bright sun. While .38 Special is described as very soft-shooting, .357 Magnum delivers a significant recoil, leading to trigger jerking and anticipation for some shooters. Ammunition performance was also discussed, with a specific batch of Remington ammunition not performing as expected.
