The Cimarron Firearms CL188726 1887 12 Gauge Lever-Action Shotgun represents a modern reproduction of one of the most iconic shotgun platforms in firearms history. Originally designed by John Browning and adopted by law enforcement and military units worldwide, this 12-gauge lever-action shotgun combines proven mechanical reliability with authentic period aesthetics. The 6-round capacity and 2.75-inch chamber make this platform versatile for hunting, sport shooting, and training applications where dependable shot placement matters.
The lever-action mechanism delivers rapid follow-up shots without requiring manual pump or semi-automatic recoil management, reducing shooter fatigue during extended use. At 9.5 pounds, the shotgun achieves a balanced weight distribution that minimizes muzzle rise and improves target reacquisition between rounds—critical for tactical or defensive scenarios. The walnut stock provides both durability and traditional aesthetics while maintaining ergonomic controls accessible to shooters across hand-size profiles. This 48.5-inch overall length offers excellent sight radius for precision aiming while remaining practical for vehicle transport and navigating confined spaces.
Law enforcement trainers and tactical instructors favor lever-action shotguns for teaching fundamental shotgun technique because the manual action forces deliberate trigger control and sight discipline. The 1887 platform remains popular among competitive 3-gun shooters and hunting professionals who prioritize mechanical simplicity and zero reliance on batteries or complex gas systems. This Cimarron model accepts standard 12-gauge ammunition, making supply and ammunition variety readily accessible. The walnut furniture and traditional profile suit shooters who value reliability and proven design over modern tactical aesthetics, making it an excellent choice for those building a shotgun collection or seeking a backup to modern systems.
