Patented July 2, 1872, Colt employees Charles B. Richards and William Mason, combined their ideas for converting Colt's percussion revolvers to self-contained metallic cartridge, breech loading arms. Originally working with the percussion arms parts already in stock, guns were converted, however as they began to run out of the cap and ball components, the company began producing new sixguns as metal cartridge arms, rather than conversions. Although the numbers produced only amounted to a few thousand specimens (around 2,100 1860 Army models and about 3,800 1851 Navy models). El Paso's city marshal Dallas Stoudenmire packed a cut down Richards-Mason Army Colt. and John H. "Doc" Holliday packed a '51 new-made Navy model. Today's shooters enjoy the looks and handling capabilities of these conversion revolvers that combine the sleek lines of percussion revolvers with the convenience of self-contained cartridge sixguns. Due to the high cost and scarcity of originals, Cimarron's Richards-Mason conversions are ideal for Cowboy Action competitors as well as nostalgic gun buffs alike.

Shipping was quick. Quick look over when I picked it up to check mechanical and cosmetics. This thing looks great. Hammer/trigger/lockup are good. But... the loading gate leading edge, where you put your thumb/finger in to open it, is sharp and if not opened very carefully can cut you. Took home and next day took it out of box to look at again. Half cock hammer, open loading gate (to simulate loading/unloading) and turned cylinder by hand. The cylinder is physically dragging on the frame on left side. Not the front or rear of cylinder. The side. It isn't enough to stop the action from working but it will quickly wear the finish and maybe some metal away. Gap between cylinder/frame on right side looks ok. It's like the cylinder is offset to the left just enough to cause rubbing. It's currently in transit back to Cimarron. Very disappointed this was able to get out of the factory. I'm confident (right now anyway) that Cimarron will get it corrrected. I wouldn't let it discourage me from getting another one though.
