Inspired by the very rare and extremely sought-after 1st Generation Colt pistols inspected by US Ordnance Department Principle Sub-Inspector in Charge, Henry Nettleton, Cimarron Firearms recreated the Colt Single-Action Cavalry Model with his unique inspection initials. The Cimarron replica of the US Cavalry 1873 model a 45LC single-action, six-shooter with a standard blue finish barrel with walnut grips; Nettleton placed his inspection stamp on the left side of the hammer and trigger guard, unlike any other inspector.

The 45 Colt (45 Long Colt) was introduced in 1873 in Colt's Single Action Army. Adopted by the U.S. military in 1875, it served until 1892 when it was replaced by the less powerful (and unsatisfactory) 38 Long Colt. Originally loaded with 40 grains of blackpowder and a 255-grain bullet the 45 Colt produced about 900 feet per second for more than 400 foot-pounds of energy, a powerful handgun cartridge for its day--and any day. Using a .454-inch bullet, today's standard load retains the 255-grain bullet at 860 fps. Lighter bullets at somewhat higher velocities are available. 45 Colt was the most common chambering in Colt's single action. Today it is chambered in virtually all centerfire single-action revolvers and has been chambered in numerous large-frame double-action revolvers. 45 Colt is the most popular revolver cartridge in cowboy action shooting, and remains a powerful and effective personal defense cartridge, its only drawback being the necessity for a large revolver to house it. — Craig Boddington
