Cimarron 1873 U.S. Marshal Carbine Lever Action Rifle 44 Special +P 18" Barrel
In 2017, Cimarron received a request from an active U.S. Marshal in the Marshal service to make a firearm that he could carry in the line of duty. We took this challenge seriously and have worked tirelessly over the last year to develop, design, and release our U.S Marshal Carbine. It is an accurate copy of an 1873 carbine presented by Judge Isaac Parker to one of his serving Marshal’s in 1880, with the stock shortened slightly and a barrel shortened by two inches from the original. Perfect for the active Marshal to keep in the cab of his truck for fast handling if it is needed. The U.S. Marshal 1873 Model is made exclusively for Cimarron by the fine gun-makers at A. Uberti of Italy. It is available in .44 Special +P with an 18” barrel, and U.S. Marshal markings.

The 44 Remington Magnum (44 Magnum) was introduced by Remington and Smith & Wesson in 1955 in S&W's large-frame Model 29 revolver. Much credit much be given to gunwriter Elmer Keith, who wanted a more powerful revolver cartridge for handgun hunting. Keith had been experimenting with heavy 44 Special handloads, using that cartridge because its brass was heavier than older blackpowder revolver cartridges. The 44 Magnum is essentially a 44 Special case lengthened to 1.285 inches, using the same .429-inch bullet diameter. For many years the world's most powerful handgun cartridge, the 44 Magnum has been proven adequate for all North American big game. Although now surpassed by several big revolver cartridges the 44 Magnum remains a fine hunting cartridge with recoil levels at the limit that many handgunners can deal with. The most common bullet weight is 240 grains, but 44 Magnum loads are available up to 340 grains. The 44 Magnum is widely chambered to handguns and carbines. — Craig Boddington
