- In this video, Mike tells us how he came by a very distinctive Colt Frontier Six Shooter. With it's yellowed, grooved grips it resembles a firearm that was used by John Wayne in many of his iconic films. Cimarron's Rooster Shooter was based on this classic revolver. This is the latest episode in a series where Mike Harvey, Owner and President of Cimarron, shows you some of the original firearms in his collection and talks about them.
On my buy list! What a story.
I doubt the Man himself would care if you called it Rooster. I own one. I love it. Keep on doin what you're doin.👍
Ya me too. For the ole RAT KILLER
True to this day and time, everybody wants a handout
Love your firearms. Hope to have some one day TY for sharing
A windy, or not, the tale told is swell said, and the history shared is even better. Thanks for sharing the "Rooster" with us, sir.- mkh
Great video Mike, I go by your store when I’m in Fredericksburg. Would like to meet you. My mother was a Harvey from San Augustine.
You aren’t infringing on anything. God bless.
Great story, keep tellin em. 4 more years!!!!!
I bought one ! Excellent quality !
Thanks Mike great stories.
A story befitting of the Brothers Grimm! Almost as good as when American Western Arms used to say they sent 'American Steel' to Angelo in Italy to make their revolvers!
love these videos...love the shirt and the world has way too many lawyers with not enough meaningful work I think.
Absolutely love it!
Wow such a cool story. I wonder if that guy ever found out he’s part of history of this pistol. I’m holding mine right now. Love John Wayne too. Such a cool firearm. And since it’s modern made I don’t feel bad shooting it all the time unlike an old original.
great tale education as well as informative. seems the news is a lot like the yellow journals of the 1800
Love your guns Keep doing what your doing
Love your shirt. Nice gun.
I love the story and the shirt.
Precioso revolver y bonita historia de cimarrón, adoro los saa 45 saludos desde España🤠
Yep, I’d say y’all have a good argument about the name of the pistol. I’ve never heard anyone call your pistols John or Wayne or Marion for that matter, since his legal name was Marion Morrison. And I think his foundation rakes in enough through his movies and memorabilia, without trying to harvest a little off of each of your guns. By the way, I sure like my Cimarron Frontier 45Colt. It’s made better than my 2nd Generation Colt that looks just like it. The only thing I changed on my Cimarron was the cylinder pin, and I used the Colt style pin.
Love the pistol, love the shirt
Love your company. Upsets me John Wayne's foundation would do that.
Great shirt, to start off story’s about Great Guns, gotta love some Great single actions, only thing better are some “pretty” levers, God Bless America and God Bless Texas. 👍🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠
Sounds like a true story to me, your guns are pretty badass as well
I could be wrong but remember hearing that the Colt SA John Wayne was fond of carrying in later movies was a 4 3/4" .38/40 with a well used finish. Hollywood used a universal blank cartridge at the time that was based on the .38/40 WCF that would work in .45's, 44/40's and the 38/40. The rough side out holster and belt he used was replicated and can still be found for sale by some leather makers.
I once heard someone say "Is that story true?" their reply was "Well yeah, it's true it's a story."
Either way, I like it. I own one of these and I like it, too!
There were 3 movies! 2 Hollywood and 1 TV movie! Warren Oates played Rooster in the TV movie!
Love your stories Mike & love that CNN shirt as well. Have purchased several pistols & a lever action from the store in Fredericksburg. Keep those great stories coming !!
Hey Mike, love these back stories on your guns. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this story. Just don't try to convince us that you bought a rusty knife from some bad dude named Corn Pop :))
Cimarron is #1
Like the tee shirt.
It would look nice in a custom wooden box with a US marshall badge on the lid. Inside with the gun i would have a pair of old west handcuffs and a box of ammo with period art work. I would give the box a rustic look. It would also add $100 to the selling price. If I can ever afford one of these I'll definitely put one together.
Love the shirt.
El Paso Saddlery had to rename one of their holsters The Duke (John Wayne) because of intellectual property rights. I was looking for a left hand version for CAS and a fellow at El Paso told me this. I think it is the model 100 now, not so romantic as The Duke.
well told mike, only just found you, graham in England.
Hi Mike. I own four of your guns, and YES, you are telling a Windy, but we understand the real reasons. Good day.
That does sound like a story.😁
Great story, and awesome t-shirt.
Mike should have told the John Wayne foundation the he would change the name of the gun to the "Chicken Shooter". That would have shut them up real fast :D
Old guns are best!
Interesting enough I have never heard of this guy or this channel but I have been a big fan of cimarron for a long time now I wish I could own everything they offer,the model P is by far the best reasonable priced"clone" on the market in my opinion, the 1886 rifle is absolutely awesome...one in particular I have not had yet that I absolutely would love is the "lightning" pump action rifle,I also have Taylors cattleman and they are nice and all but the safety system ( or lack there of with a base pin😉) of the Pmodel variants is where it's at I carry one around the farm quite regularly. So if this man is the founder/ owner of the company I just want to say thanks for what you have brought to the table in this industry I have yet to have any issues with any product as of now.
AWESOME T-SHIRT MR. HARVEY!!
I've always heard that guns left in the white like that rust very easily. Is there any kind of protective coating on the Cimarron product?
Hello. There is no protective coating on the product. The patina does evolve over time in a very natural way that does not affect the functionality of the gun. I personally have had one for about 8 years and it looks great.
I was 8 years old in 1978 dad showed me how to trap so I had trap out and anything bigger then a bug rabbit I couldn't just kill by standing on it and some kritters were just nasty mean so I saved up fur money and bought a colt .22 new frontier from Heck's department store. I used that gun until 2016 and it worn snake out,lol
Hi Mike, Nate Kiowa Jones here, the 92 guy. The original gun from True Grit was based on a Bisley frame gun that supposedly Stembridge converted to a plow handle grip frame and an enlarged trigger guard. It recently sold through RIA. Go here to 1frame,
So, yours is not like the original.

Mike, I just Love that shirt! Keep showing those guns ... I love 'em!
Great shirt - and I love the products from Cimarron. 👍🏼
I have a Cimarron (Uberti) Model P 45LC with a 4 3/4 barrel. Is my 1873 replica safe to use modern Ammunition or only Cowboy Action loads?
Hello. We recommend that you shoot only over the counter ammunition that meet SAMMI specifications, www.saami.org/. Shooting any ammo like +P or reloads will void the warranty on the gun. Thanks!
Love the T-shirt your wearing!
Hi, could you help me?
I am about to buy an 1873 5.5, 357/38 and I would like to know briefly which one I should buy / which one is better, among them Cimarron, Traditions, Pietta and Uberti, which one would have more quality and would not give me any problems. Thank you, I await the reply.
Hi! Great question. Cimarron is going to be the highest quality and most authentic. Call us at 830 997 9090 and we can help you even more. Thanks!
I really like this gun but I do have a question for those who own one….does the Rooster Shooter have the original Colt-like action with 4 clicks or the newer style with only 3 clicks??
Wayne’s Colt was made from a BIsley frame , old army grip frame , standard hammer. And it sold at auction for $450,000. I don’t think the Wayne foundation has a leg to stand on
He should have named it
"The Fat Mecican"
Just went walking the property cold drizzling Sunday morning. Cross draw single 45 colt, what a blessing to be free in The Texas Hill Country, now sitting by the fireplace
I just got a revolver from Midway USA,,it was advertised as a Cimarron but it has El Patron on the barrel and was said to be maid by Ubertia. Well I though it was supposed to be a Colt replica, how ever,when you cock the hammer it only clicks 3 times and as far as I know Colt has 4 clicks,, do you know anything about this.
Hey there Mike Harvey, I recently bought the Cimmeron Ubert 'model P' - .45 Colt! Fine weapon, my question is, is it possible to purchase checked grips for it? Also how about low profile hammer, as on the CMS Uberti Cimmerons? If you have the time, could you give me an answer on that subject? Love your Texas Company, I'm born and raised in the West Texas Panhandle, close to Amarillo. Keep up the good work!

@@cimarronFA thank you and I’ve been on a waiting list at my local gun shop for 3 years because no one could get them. I’ve searched high and low. This is my dream pistol and my holy grail. I WILL be purchasing one of these, thank you for making such amazing and fantastic pieces of art if there’s one thing I love to collect it’s my cowboy guns.
@@SuperKnifemaster Great to hear! You're going to like it a lot. Rooster Shooter was my 2nd Cimarron purchase and has been my main sidearm ever since. I love it, and it gets cooler with age.
@@cimarronFA it’s coincidental my local gun shop just messaged me saying they finally got one in!! I put money on it already and should have it in a couple days I can’t wait, I’ve waited three years for it
Hey folks. Hope you have noticed that ever since I ding-donged Hickok45 to do a vid on the Buntline, that he has followed up w/ Man w. No Name & the Rooster Shooter.
You're welcome. ;-)
Dr. John Paladin
Great! Thanks for that, and thanks for letting us know!
Great shirt stay free
Why was the name of the company changed to Cimarron and why Cimarron?
I am getting ready to buy few your gun I whacked I wondering if it made in the 44 mag I am looking at you out law 357 mag and high wall 1885
Great windies you tell em there is allot of fake news
LMAO!!! Its an IQ shirt LOL
I guess the cructz to the matter being who owns the word rooster. Well I would say no one. No reference to john Wayne is there? If their is it could become a sticky wicket.
Hate to hear that mess. Money grubbing at its best. One for lawyers to sort out. But as we all know Rooster shooter was based upon John Wayne's movie prop gun. But how the foundation should get a cut of the proceeds from the sale of such is beyond me. But considering the cost involved and the inherent value of the involvement with said foundation it may prove beneficial to cut them in for a tiny slice of the proceeds to garner the tax break of such an indevor if one should exist. Just food for thought.
Please tell me they didn’t add the safety and take away the clicks on this one
I call BS on the origin story of the rooster shooter lol. Great shirt though.
I'm not so sure I believe that story.....
