Well, I couldn't turn down the little Cimarron Lightening! It was just too cute! It looks like its been carried a lot and shot a little. All blueing is a nice brown patina and most of the cases parts are a mottled dark gray/silver. I'm not sure what the grips are, I'm assuming some kind of polymer with grain swirled into them. Barrel is 5 1/2" but if it turns out to be a keeper, I'll probably have it lopped off even with the ejector rod housing (3 1/2") and make a back pocket holster for it. It ought to be a dandy for carrying in a pocket of my hunting vest come bird season! One nice thing is the cylinder is long enough to fit Keith's hollow points in there!

I'm really looking forward to playing with this one! I think I've found a good replacement for the chopped down 1851 Naby conversion I got years ago from OD!
