Cimarron Evil Roy Revolver Color Case Hardened, Blue, Walnut – Classic 1873‑Style Single‑Action Cowboy Revolver

The Cimarron Evil Roy Revolver Color Case Hardened, Blue, Walnut is a single‑action, 6‑round cowboy revolver styled after the legendary 1873 Colt Single Action Army, but tuned for modern Cowboy Action and practical use. Chambered in .357 Magnum and .45 Colt (Long Colt), it runs from a 6‑round cylinder, features a color‑case‑hardened frame, blue steel barrel and other metal parts, and hand‑checkered European walnut grips, giving you a revolver that looks like a museum‑grade Western‑movie piece but behaves like a solid, shootable competition gun.

Classic 1873‑Style Looks and Finish

Visually, the Evil Roy is a direct homage to the 1873 Colt, with a pre‑war‑frame single‑action layout and a 4‑click Colt‑style action that many shooters prefer for a more traditional feel. The frame is color‑case‑hardened, which creates a unique, mottled rainbow‑like pattern that never repeats between guns, while the barrel, cylinder, and other key metal parts are finished in rich blue steel, so the overall look is clean, classy, and instantly recognizable on the range.

The walnut grips are hand‑checkered, giving you a refined, old‑school grip texture that is pleasant in the hand and easy to dry‑fire with or without gloves. The combination of case‑hardened steel, blue steel, and dark walnut makes the Evil Roy a standout on the gun‑show table or in your collection, while still being rugged enough for regular shooting, Cowboy Action matches, and reenactments.

Action, Trigger, and Handling

The Evil Roy runs a single‑action revolver action, which means you must cock the hammer by hand before each shot. This style is deeply familiar to fans of 1873‑style Colts and Cowboy‑era sidearms, and it plays perfectly into Cowboy Action competition rules and stage construction. The trigger is no‑creep, crisp, and light, tuned so that the hammer doesn’t feel overly heavy to pull back, yet the release is clean and predictable, which helps you stay on target during fast strings of fire.

Because it is a pre‑war‑frame Colt‑styler, the Evil Roy retains the 4‑click action instead of the later 3‑click model with a retracting firing pin. This gives many shooters a more nostalgic, purist‑style experience when cocking and firing. The 6‑round cylinder is easy to load and rotate, and the revolver is built with improved internals that help keep it running smoothly and cleanly even after long strings of dry‑fire and live‑fire practice.

Size, Cartridge, and Practical Use

The Evil Roy is built around a Cowboy‑Action‑style frame and grip, so it is not a tiny pocket revolver, but it also doesn’t feel bulky or unwieldy. The 6‑round capacity keeps each cylinder simple to manage, and the .357 Magnum and .45 Colt (Long Colt) chamberings give you two classic cartridges well‑suited to revolver‑only stages.

• .357 Magnum brings higher velocity and good stopping power, making it a solid choice for those who want a bit more punch from their cowboy‑style sidearm.

• .45 Colt (Long Colt) leans into the Old‑West vibe, giving you a heavy, thumping, traditional‑style cartridge that many Cowboy‑Action competitors and historical shooters love.

In practical terms, the Evil Roy is ideal for Cowboy Action shooting, SASS‑style matches, historical reenactments, and Old‑West‑themed plinking. It’s also a wonderful showpiece or display revolver for collectors who want a modern‑made, shootable 1873‑style gun with genuine case‑hardened steel instead of a simple polished frame.

Why It Stands Out Among Cowboy Revolvers

Compared with many other 1873‑style clones, the Cimarron Evil Roy with color‑case‑hardened steel, blue finish, and walnut grips offers a closer‑to‑the‑original, visually rich experience while still being built with carefully tuned internals and a smooth, competition‑ready trigger. The case‑hardened frame is not just cosmetic; it adds a layer of historical authenticity that many shooters and collectors find hard to resist.

If you want a revolver that looks like a museum‑grade 1873 Colt, shoots like a tuned Cowboy Action racer, and fits neatly into both competition and display roles, the Cimarron Evil Roy Revolver Color Case Hardened, Blue, Walnut is a strong, visually striking choice that will feel at home among the most serious single‑action revolver shooters and collectors.
