Uberti 1873 Cattleman Hartford Model .45 Colt Revolver — 5.5" Barrel, Color Case-Hardened Frame
This EMF-imported Uberti 1873 Cattleman Hartford Model is a faithful, modern reproduction of the legendary Colt Single Action Army. Built on forged steel, it pairs a high-polish blued 5.5-inch barrel and cylinder with a vivid color case-hardened frame. Uberti’s New Model transfer-bar safety lets you carry all six chambers loaded, a practical upgrade over the original design. Smooth walnut grips complete the classic frontier profile, while its excellent overall condition makes it a standout for collectors and Cowboy Action shooters alike.

Forged steel construction runs throughout the frame, barrel, and six-shot cylinder, giving the revolver the weight and durability shooters expect from a working SAA clone. The color case-hardened finish on the frame contrasts nicely with the deep bluing on the barrel and cylinder, mirroring late-19th-century aesthetics.
Uberti’s New Model incorporates a transfer-bar-style, hammer-block safety system. This design allows safe carry with all six chambers loaded without altering the revolver’s classic single-action feel.
The 1:16 right-hand twist barrel and sharp rifling support consistent accuracy with standard .45 Colt loads, while fixed front blade and top-strap groove sights preserve the original sight picture.
Colt SAA dimension compatibility means many holsters and aftermarket parts designed for the original will fit, a benefit valued by Cowboy Action Shooting competitors.
