The New Model Steel configuration delivers a traditional single-action-only mechanism with a 6-shot fluted cylinder and right-side loading gate. An ejector with a crescent-style head is fitted on the right, and the cylinder base pin is retained by a front-frame screw, consistent with classic single-action design.
All major components are steel, including the barrel, frame, and cylinder. The barrel and cylinder wear a deep blue, while the receiver/frame shows a color case-hardened finish. The steel grip frame and backstrap are blued, and the smooth wood plow-handle grips present a one-piece appearance that complements the 1873 style.
