The Cimarron 1887 Terminator: A Piece of Shotgun History
Introduced to the American West in spring 1888, the 1887 lever-action shotgun quickly established itself as the definitive repeating shotgun of the frontier era. Nearly 64,000 were manufactured before 1899, and the gun earned its place in history through service with Arizona Sheriff John Slaughter and railroad messengers for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad.
