Cimarron's 1862 pocket police conversion update

[nativeshootist]

I recently emailed cimarron on an update about their 62 pocket police conversion, they responded by saying that they are getting one in for test and evaluation with the ATF and might soon be shipping them in upcoming months!

Wow, you were reading my mind  .  I was just wondering yesterday what the progress was on this neat little revolver. Thanks for the update.

[Tinker Pearce]

Sweet- I'd just about resigned myself to making my own! Of course I might stilll...

I emailed Cimarron the other day to ask if they were going to offer other barrel options.  The fellow said no other barrels were in the works.  He also said the release date was 1st quarter of next year.

Noooooooo.....wait. i should have the money for it by then. But still

.380 ACP, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm .38 short Colt chamber reamer might work for a more historical cartridge.

I wondered about that. Also wondered if there would be enough room for the rims, or are the chambers too close together.

From an email by Cimarron:
Last year we introduced the '62 Pocket Navy Conversion. It was to be available in .380ACP with a 3" barrel. After months of waiting, the ATF informed us that we needed to work on the safety mechanism. We quickly responded by working with Uberti to change the safety, and resubmitted the gun for approval. Again, months of waiting... waiting until the ATF responded that the 3" barrel made the gun too light! OK!!! So now we have changed the barrel from 3" to 6" and are now on track to release this highly anticipated revolver! Cimarron's '62 Pocket Navy Conversion authentically reproduces those early, coat pocket-sized cartridge conversion revolvers, produced by the Colt factory from around 1873-1880. Available as a 6-inch round-barreled, ejectorless model, this 21st century fistful of pistol is chambered for the feisty .380ACP cartridge! This handy little, 5-shot revolver utilizes the Uberti patented firing pin safety so we can load all 5 chambers and sports a rich, historically accurate blued finish, with a color case hardened frame, brass trigger guard and back strap, and an attractive, one-piece varnished, walnut stock. Due to the 6 inch barrel we now kiddingly refer to this little gem as the 'Pocket Buntline'.

My Uberti percission 1862pocket police is in 4.5 inch barrel. Perfect for Canadian laws.

Hey, it could happen...

Here is a picture.  I think it might be attacked by hacksaws on a regular bases.

"It was to be available in .380ACP with a 3" barrel."     hmmmmmmmm  vacillating 

"This handy little, 5-shot revolver utilizes the Uberti patented firing pin safety" ...lost me !

I'd rather have the 5 shots instead of 4 shots and a empty chamber.

It's a range toy, do you really need all 5 cylinders loaded?

My experiences with the new Uberti safety is purely hearsay, so take it with a grain of salt, but I haven't seen anyone who was truly happy with it.

[nativeshootist]

It's a five shot, I would like to use all 5 cylinders

[Abilene]

well, on the Uberti single actions with the new safety hammer, seems like they work fine until you start trying to shoot them fast, and then a few folks have had problems.  I wouldn't let that stop me from buying the little conversion (if I wanted one, which I don't).

This revolver features all the historic detail of the early version of a revolver EDC, but the Cimarron version will be in today's most popular and affordable conceal carry caliber, the .380 ACP. This five-shot revolver in a standard color case hardened frame and blued hammer has a 6" barrel and an MSRP of $570.70.

I was , was I say "on the fence, * I like the gun"....but the hammer does stop me as does the now posted MSRP...

* never considered it as CWC ...but plinker sure,  and there 5 would be fine

[Tinker Pearce]

Gotta say, I do like the look of it.

[Tornado]

While I would prefer safety notches between the cylinders, thus allowing it to be used in a cowboy action match, other than that it looks like a cool plinker.  I load for 380, so I prefer the 380 chambering, and it is a little higher price than I expected.
