A. Uberti 1873 Single-Action Cattleman El Patrón Competition .357 Mag Revolver, 5.5 in Barrel
The El Patrón Competition series takes Uberti’s faithful 1873 Cattleman reproduction and tunes it at the factory for match-ready performance. This .357 Mag six-gun pairs a color case-hardened frame with a blued 5.5 inch barrel, and arrives with a hand-fitted action, Wolff springs, and widened “Easy-View” sights that give competitors a speed advantage without altering the classic profile. Individually numbered chambers and bone-charcoal hardening add collector appeal while the wide competition hammer spur and checkered walnut grip deliver practical control.

Uberti equips the El Patrón Competition with a factory-hand-tuned action using Wolff springs, giving the trigger a crisp break and reducing hammer travel for faster follow-up shots.
The wide, low-profile hammer spur lets shooters maintain a full firing grip while cocking, an advantage in timed stages. Checkering on the one-piece walnut grip aids purchase without altering the revolver’s traditional aesthetics.
“Easy-View” sights feature a 1/8-inch blade front and a widened, deepened top-strap rear notch, allowing a clearer sight picture against steel plates or paper targets.
Both the barrel and six-shot cylinder are blued carbon steel, while the frame shows authentic bone-charcoal color case-hardening. Chambers are individually numbered and the cylinder and frame share matching serials, underscoring Uberti’s attention to detail.
Made in Italy, this revolver offers modern competition enhancements while preserving the look, feel, and handling that made the original 1873 famous.
