This United Sporting Arms Seville Silhouette is a stainless, single-action revolver chambered in .357 Maximum with a 10.5-inch heavy-profile barrel. Built in Post Falls, Idaho in 1986 during a brief production run, it features the IHMSA topstrap medallion and an unfluted six-shot cylinder. Its silhouette-specific configuration, brushed stainless finish, and adjustable target sights make it a standout example of this rare Seville variant.
Crafted on the stretch-frame platform purpose-built for .357 Remington Maximum, this revolver combines a long, heavy barrel with a full-length ejector rod housing and robust lockup. The brushed stainless construction includes frame, barrel, and unfluted cylinder, complemented by black checkered Pachmayr grips with medallions for a solid, controllable hold.
The sights are set up for precision with a tall Patridge-style front blade and a fully adjustable rear sight. Factory rollmarks on the right side read "SEVILLE SILHOUETTE" and ".357 MAX," reinforcing its dedicated silhouette role.
Distinctive markings include the topstrap medallion engraved "INTERNATIONAL HANDGUN METALLIC SILHOUETTE ASSOCIATION" with a ram silhouette, plus the U.S.A. octagonal logo on the frame. This example comes from the Post Falls, Idaho era, with production in 1986 during a short run estimated at roughly 200 total guns across models, underscoring its rarity and appeal to dedicated Seville enthusiasts.
