Key Features
- Pre-War Flat-Top Frame – Why it matters: This classic frame design gives you a lower profile and better balance for off-hand shooting, especially when you’re running heavy .44 Mag loads through a 49-ounce revolver.
- 6″ Octagon Barrel – Why it matters: The octagon profile adds rigidity and weight forward, which tames muzzle rise and helps you stay on target for follow-up shots. Plus, it looks right on a single-action.
- Adjustable Target Sights – Why it matters: You can dial in elevation and windage for different loads, whether you’re punching paper at 25 yards or ringing steel at 50. No more guessing with fixed sights.
- Exposed Hammer – Why it matters: You can thumb-cock for precision single-action shots or safely lower the hammer on a live round. It’s the control you want in a hunting revolver.
- Walnut Grips & Blued Steel – Why it matters: The walnut fills your hand naturally, and the blued finish resists corrosion while giving you that old-school revolver look that still turns heads at the range.
Who It’s For
This revolver is built for the everyday carrier who wants a single-action that can do it all: hunt deer in the fall, punch holes in targets on the weekend, and earn a spot in your range bag as a conversation starter. If you’re into cowboy action shooting, woods carry, or just appreciate a well-made six-gun, the Bad Boy fits your lifestyle.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: The adjustable target sights are a huge upgrade over fixed sights – you can actually zero for your specific ammo.
- Pro: The 49-ounce weight soaks up .44 Mag recoil better than lighter revolvers, making it more shootable for extended sessions.
- Pro: Pre-war flat-top frame gives you a lower bore axis and faster follow-up shots compared to traditional Colt-style frames.
- Con: The 6″ barrel makes it less concealable for daily carry – this is a range/hunting gun, not a pocket revolver. If you need something smaller, look at a 4″ model.

FAQ
Can I shoot .44 Special through the Cimarron CA362 Bad Boy?
Yes. According to Cimarron specs, the cylinder is chambered for .44 Remington Magnum but will safely fire .44 Special rounds. This gives you a lighter-recoiling option for practice or plinking.
Is this revolver safe for hot handloads?
The pre-war flat-top frame is strong, but it’s not a Ruger Super Blackhawk. Stick to factory .44 Mag loads or standard-pressure handloads. Per Cimarron, the Bad Boy is built for hunting and target work, not maximum-pressure test rounds.
Does the Cimarron CA362 come with a transfer bar safety?
No. It uses a traditional single-action safety: load five, lower the hammer on an empty chamber, and carry with the hammer down. This is standard for pre-war-style revolvers and is safe with proper handling.
What’s the best use for this revolver?
Hunting and target shooting. The 6″ barrel gives you good velocity for .44 Mag hunting loads, and the adjustable sights let you dial in for steel or paper. It’s also a great choice for cowboy action side matches.
What holster fits the Cimarron Bad Boy with a 6″ octagon barrel?
Look for holsters designed for Ruger Blackhawk or Colt SAA with 5.5″ to 6″ barrels. The octagon profile fits most standard leather and kydex holsters without issue.
