It’s been 45 years since the first magazine dedicated exclusively to handguns hit newsstands. Celebrating the milestone in the true spirit of its purpose, American Handgunner and FMG Publications teamed with industry experts and artists to create a one-of-a-kind revolver: A Cimarron Firearms Frontier .45 Colt. Not only is the stunning sixgun the centerpiece of the magazine’s Sept/Oct issue, it’s also the top prize in the Handgun of the Month giveaway.
“Apparently, the traditional 45th anniversary gift is sapphire, but we’ve found it doesn’t shoot worth a darn,” jests Editor Tom McHale. “Instead, we elected to commemorate the occasion with a .45 Colt sixgun. Working with our friends at Cimarron Firearms, DeSantis Leather and Baron Engraving, we spiffed up a custom revolver sure to be the envy of any handgunner. What better way to celebrate the longevity of the first magazine to focus exclusively on handguns?”
The five-round celebratory revolver features a 4 3/4″ barrel with decorative hand engraving — including the “American Handgunner” logo — in 24K gold plating. Custom polishing, finishing, bluing and finely figured Maple grips culminate in a visual celebration of handgun history and expert craftsmanship. Accompanying the unique revolver is a leather-tooled holster from the artisans at DeSantis Gunhide with full suede lining, border detailing and an “American Handgunner” logo stamp.
“[There’s] no better firearm to convey our proud American firearms history than a Frontier revolver,” said Mike Harvey, founder and CEO of Cimarron Firearms. “Congratulations to American Handgunner and their staff of dedicated writers and editors.”
“We were so proud to be invited to partner with Cimarron on this project,” remarked David Miles, president of Baron Engraving. “We couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate 45 years of American Handgunner magazine. We hope the winner of this revolver enjoys it as much as we enjoyed making it shine.”
