Built on a full-size steel frame with a half-cock notch safety, this revolver operates in traditional single-action fashion. The tall blade front sight and milled top-strap notch replicate the original sight picture, making it ideal for Cowboy Action Shooting or period-correct display.
The brass grip frame components deliver a distinctive two-tone appearance while reducing frame weight slightly. Italian CIP proof marks and the Uberti square logo confirm modern metallurgy and quality control, giving users confidence in the revolver’s strength even with current factory .45 Colt loads.
Uberti’s attention to detail shows in the crisp trigger break, smooth cylinder rotation, and period-accurate machining lines. The 5.5-inch steel barrel provides balanced handling and maintains the classic “Artillery” configuration favored on the frontier.
Whether you appreciate historical sidearms or need a reliable single-action for the range, this 1873 Cattleman Brass offers authentic looks, quality construction, and the proven .45 Colt chambering in a ready-to-shoot package.
