- This is the 2nd episode of a new series where Mike Harvey, Owner and President of Cimarron, shows you some of the original firearms in his collection and talks about them. The focus of this episode is Texas Jack Omohundro and his U.S. marked S&W Model No. 3, 1st Model American. Mike has collected Texas Jack memorabilia since the 1970s, and this is his favorite piece in the collection. Armed with a few originals, Cimarron is now reproducing this legendary model to reintroduce it to the market!

I really enjoy Gun History. It is a great way to learn about American History.
These new #3 Old Models are gorgeous, and have been a long time coming! Bravo!
I really like this channel and deeply thank you for your reply to my question about my Cimarron Sharps,I watch all of your shows, not only do I like to own and use of this time span I also love the history of them as well, thank you for making such nice shows !!
A Texas Jack Schofield would just be fantastic! I hope Cimarron can get it done!
Interesting and cool that the forward in the book was written by Paul I. Wellman, who was the author of the Jim Bowie novel The Iron Mistress. Good stuff!!!
His Grandson, maybe Great Grandson, Jed Omahondro looks just like him. He used to live here in Salmon, Idaho.
Cool Info Garry..
Thank you for the video. Again I really appreciate the preserved history in word and in the wonderful replicated handgun!
Love mine in 44 S&W
Always love these videos, Mike!
I'm enjoying these videos of the original guns and the stories behind them. I may be in for one when they're available...so long as the barrel/cylinder gap isn't .011"-.019" like my last three Schofields.
Ouch. Did he ever come out with these? I can't find one with that barrel length
@@MyWillypilly My local dealer has several of the 1st Model American Cimarrons.
@@plowboysghost Long barrel like this one?
@@MyWillypilly Yep...he had both 8" and 5". Had .45 Colt and even one in .44WCF
@@plowboysghost It's on my list
Thanks for the video and your passion for history Mike!
Well I just got home with two of these in .45 colt. They are very nice looking and also very true to the original design. While there are a few things that are not correct to the American they actually make the gun more robust for shooting.
I like several of my black powder brethren would like to see a shorter cylinder and a longer gas ring like the originals. That way I wouldn't have to rework them. I have a pair of Scofield's that have the Smith Shop rework and pleased with how they shoot black powder.
I am going to have to think long and hard about doing this to my new Americans however it will probably happen as I am abdicated to the Holly black. Anyway back to my main subject after waiting for years for a American to come out I couldn't be happier with it.
I brought one home yesterday in 44WCF. I too shoot black powder and have 100 loaded up for a test to see how many rounds can be fired before it won't go any longer. We do Cowboy Action Shooting so I figure 30 rounds will get me through a match.
Thank you for this information and Great Video 😎🤙
Wonderful video!
I would like a copy of the Smith & Wesson that Wyatt Earp used at the OK Corral.
Cant wait to see the finished product - maybe a lottery to win a chance to pre-order :)
Back in 88 or so I was doing a roof estimate at a vacant house for an elderly man. I needed to look in the attic and he directed me to an entrance of sorts to the attic in a small closet, so I decided I was just going to peek into the attic from a small ladder. I was clearing the upper shelf and found a pistol similar to this one. I had become a Christian some months before and putting it back and getting it later was tempting. I quickly called the man over and carefully handed it to him, (I had a fair amount of handing firearms as a criminal in my previous life) he come around the corner from doing some chore while he was in the house and it took his breath away. Me? It was a cool test of my staying on track to keep God's reputation stout in front of my old crowd
Got .44 Russian black powder rounds loaded up and ready to go. Just waiting for you guys to get an 8” .44 special model in!
I hate to say it, but after numerous calls to Cimarron Firearms, it seems the No.3 1st American revolvers will not be produced in .44 Special as previously advertised.
This information was given to me by an employee who works for the Cimarron Firearms company over the phone. So if it is correct, and nothing was lost in conversation, you will likely have to find a competent gunsmith and send them a .44-40 revolver alongside a Cimarron Schofield .44 Special cylinder from the Cimarron parts catalog. That's assuming Uberti made the No.3 1st American revolvers by using surplus Schofield cylinders.
@@Malpaise_LegateI just called them again last week and they said it will be 18 to 24 months for 44 special. The only calibers I have seen these in is 8 inch and 5 inch 45 colt and very limited 5 inch 44-40. I haven’t seen any 8 inch 44-40. No 44 specials whatsoever though. Still waiting but I grabbed a 45 colt 8 inch just in case these ever get discontinued. Great looking gun. I shoot 45 Schofield black powder in it it shoots all right just very high left(like a foot high) and heavy trigger. My schofield shoots Almost right on just a few inches high.
Mister Mike; Really enjoyed your video and my new Cimmaron Deluxe 1878 side by side.
Re. Texas Jack, did you know that the first syllable in his last name begins with the sacred sound " Om", as noted from the Sanskrit word from India, "Omkara" which is a holy Name of God noted in many religions? For sure, his name was significant.
ommmm....ommohundrmm..ommmm...ommohundromm..ommm
Any chance you'll ever bring out a Merwin-Hulbert revolver?
I'm trying to pull the trigger on getting this model......I'm trying.....
When will we se the model 3 for sale by you guys? Sao you are working on a Merwin thats would be so awesome I would buy four of them! tha inks for the awesome new videos.
New gun looks great, but looking at the cylinder face from the side and the bushing area, it doesn't look like it will handle Black Powder at all. I enjoy the new videos.
You talked me into another Cimarron pistol.
I been waiting on this pistol. I had a Scofield and sold it I could kick myself.
When can we hope to see a Merwin hulbert???
Not any time soon, but we've been working on it. Thanks.
You come out with these? Any, all?
Definitely gonna add one of these eventually. Will there be a special run on ones made to look like your Texas Jack gun with the markings and ‘original’ finish? Almost like the cased walker’s walker? I have a have a walker’s walker and love it btw. Lots of other cimarron as well. Is it true you and uberti are working on merwin and hulbert repro’s as well? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for your hard work mike and cimarron!
We'll see about a Texas Jack replica. Not sure at this point, but it has been discussed. We have been trying to develop a Merwin and Hulbert, but this has been a very slow going project. We've only been picking away at it for about 7 years or so. This things take a lot of time. Thanks for your continued support!
Cimarron Firearms yeah i know you guys/gals will get it right and it takes time. And merwins are super complicated getting that action correct. Thanks for responding.
This is a great series. I enjoy the heck out of the history behind you collection. Thanks for sharing! I have several of your firearms. With a laser engraved SAA, original finish on order. I do enjoy the original finish firearms. Add me to the "Yes" votes for making some historically accurate reproductions like your Texas Jack pistol. I would definitely want one.
First model 3 American with the 8 inch barrel is my absolute favorite! Haven't really seen hide nor hair of your Cimarron Uberti for sale anywhere and wish you would re-issue it! Please let me know if you know of one or will it ever be reissued, thank you.
I would call Cimarron and talk to Chip or Bobby in the parts dept. They might be able to tell you when they will be in stock. Chip has helped me find things that I could never find. He gave me a list of dealers that Cimarron had sold the out-of-stock items to, and I called each shop until I found one and had it shipped to a dealer in my state.
@@dickgoesinya9419 , Thank you for the info! I will give them a call.
I’m new to Cimarron, but just recently purchased my 1st, 1851 Colt Navy conversion Hickok engraved.
I was leaning towards purchasing the Schofield, but now I’m leaning toward the 1st American model.
If you had to choose one , which would it be ?
Thanks
Love the Hat
I've been on the hunt for a Smith & Wesson number 3 chambered in the original .44 American for forever now for my Smith & Wesson history series on my channel. I don't suppose there's a way that I could custom order your pistol chambered in the original 44/100 AKA .44 American cartridge is there?
Let me say one thing. I WILL have one of these in 44 Russian. Waited a long time
I’m looking forward to seeing the Model 3 in stores. I have a 4 3/4” Cimarron Frontier.45 Colt, and it’s nicer smoother and puts lead on target better than my 5 1/2” Colt SAA, and the Colt cost me 4 times what the Frontier did. The only grip I have about the Frontier is the cylinder pin. I not a fan of Pietta’s cylinder pin, and have ordered a Colt pin from Midway USA. Other than that, I a Cimarron fan. I’m also looking at your Model 73, lever rifle. I like it better than the Miroku Model 1866 I have, although it’s a beautiful well made gun, I like the fit and finish of the Cimarron better.
Hi Mike, I have an original CF SW#3. I bought it new in the late 1990s. It hasn’t had a whole lot of use but it is misfiring and I can’t find anyone to work on it. I would appreciate any help.
Hi! Sorry to hear you're having an issue with your firearm. Unfortunately, Mike doesn't moderate our TH-cam channel. Please call Cimarron at 830 997 9090 or follow the Repair Policy instructions included in the original box. Thanks!
I look forward to getting one of these. What caliber are they chambered in? 44 Special I hope.
.45 Colt, .44-40, .44 S&W Russian, and .44 Special. Thanks!
@@cimarronFA When can these be purchased? I am saving my pennies.
@@cimarronFA A top break in .44 Special is impressive . Your mechanics and metallurgy must be spot on to handle something the originals couldn't have .
Do you know the story of the four notches in the handle?
No, but they're cool.
Out yet? Covid delay production?
Just got them in!!! We're very excited to start selling these. Thanks!
Msrp?
@@cimarronFA any idea how many you will get made?
Will this new Cimarron No.3 American .45lc handle higher pressure 45lc loads?
Just saami spec factory loads. Thanks!
I want an 8" barrel in 44 wcf. You listening Cimarron?
Is Uberti back working again, after their dance with the Covid?
Yes, they are back to work but not at full capacity yet. They have done a good job at reopening.
@@cimarronFA ... This is good news. Great to hear. Thanks.
Is this schomercian I'm production yet I'm very interested.
Yes it is! You can find it on our website. Thanks!
@@cimarronFA thank you very much.
I was really sad to hear these aren't available in .357 or .38. With today's climate it's just not realistic to get into another caliber. 45 Colt and .44-40 are just as common a purchase as .223 or 9mm Luger where I'm from. I already have a ton of .38 and .357 and would love to have one of these in that caliber. Beggers can't be choosers though. Beautiful gun
If you are stilling looking into getting one of these, I would recommend trying to find one in .44 Special. Out of all the chamberings available, .44 Special is the least expensive and most plentiful ammunition you will find in the current climate of ammunition prices and availability.
I asked that to a dealer...i would much rather have this is 357/38s. Then it would be more affordable to shoot.
But no,they dont make it.
Worse rifling ever seen. Cylinder skips. I will fix it myself. Wouldn't trust you guys
