Cimarron AR401 Arizona Ranger 357 Mag 6 5.50″ Blue w/Engraved “Arizona Ranger” Steel Barrel, Blued Cylinder Color Case Hardened Steel Frame, Checkered Walnut Grip, Exposed Hammer

The Cimarron AR401 Arizona Ranger .357 Mag 6 5.50″ Blue w/Engraved “Arizona Ranger” Steel Barrel is a competition-ready single-action revolver that blends Old West style with modern shooting precision. It ships with a tuned action from Cimarron’s U.S. gunsmiths, featuring a lighter hammer and trigger/bolt springs for a crisp, no-creep pull. The wide square-notch rear sight and constant-width front sight give you a clear sight picture for fast target acquisition. Checkered walnut grips and an exposed hammer complete the package, making this a practical choice for cowboy action shooters and EDC enthusiasts who appreciate a tuned sixgun.

Key Features

• Wide Square-Notch Rear Sight & Constant-Width Front Sight – WHY IT MATTERS: You get a fast, repeatable sight picture with zero guesswork, crucial for competition stages or defensive drills.
• Slim Checkered Walnut Grips – WHY IT MATTERS: The thinner profile fills your hand better than standard grips, reducing fatigue and improving control during rapid strings.
• U.S.-Tuned Action with Competition Springs – WHY IT MATTERS: Cimarron’s made-in-USA hammer and trigger/bolt springs deliver a lighter, smoother pull with no creep, so every shot breaks clean.
• Engraved “Arizona Ranger” Steel Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: That classic rollmark adds heritage appeal while the 5.50″ barrel balances velocity and handling for everyday carry or range use.
• Exposed Hammer for Single-Action Operation – WHY IT MATTERS: Thumb-cocking gives you a deliberate, crisp trigger pull every time, exactly what single-action shooters want.

Who It’s For

This revolver is built for cowboy action shooters who demand a tuned gun straight from the box, EDC enthusiasts who appreciate a classic sixgun with modern sight geometry, and collectors who want a historically-inspired piece with genuine competition upgrades.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Factory-tuned trigger (no aftermarket work needed), wide sights for fast alignment, slim grips for better hand fit, color case hardened frame resists wear, and it shoots both .357 Mag and .38 Special.

Cons: The exposed hammer and single-action design require manual cocking between shots, which is slower than a double-action for defensive use. Also, the 5.50″ barrel is slightly longer than some EDC revolvers, so holster selection is more limited.
