Cimarron's "Old Model" guns from Uberti, if they were made by Colt would be referred to as "black powder" frames.
This was the model P frame from 1873 to 1895, or so.
With the advent of smokeless powder, Colt made some changes to the design and metallurgy and began proofing the frames for smokeless.
The 1896 to 1940 frames become known as "pre-war".
Both the black powder and pre-war frames are "1st generation" Single Action Army's, Model P's, Peacemakers... etc...
The 1956 to 1974 made guns are "2nd generation" but are otherwise identical to the pre-war guns, except for chamberings.
The "3rd generation" is from 1976 to present from Colt and has several manufacturing changes and remain basically the same as the pre-war design.
Thag Be Lurnin'!
Guns from Italy...
They're most like 3rd generation guns with features from earlier generations to better resemble a particular representation. Thus Uberti's Cimarron "Old Model" is, in essence, a 3rd gen black-powder frame that's rated for smokeless.
Exciting, isn't it!?!
