The 4-inch barrel keeps overall length manageable while retaining an integral ejector rod housing for quick case removal. The birds-head grip profile, cut from smooth walnut, shortens the frame for easier concealment without compromising ergonomics.
Uberti finishes the carbon-steel frame and hammer with traditional bone-charcoal color case-hardening, contrasted by a deep-blued barrel and cylinder. Fixed blade and square-notch sights stay true to the 1873 pattern, giving the revolver a period-correct appearance.
A modern retractable firing-pin safety and hammer block allow safe six-round carry—an upgrade over original designs—while the single-action-only mechanism maintains the crisp trigger pull collectors expect.
This distributor-exclusive SKU 344881 features matching serial number J78581 on the frame, cylinder, and grip frame, underscoring the revolver’s factory-fit integrity.
