Built in Italy and imported with STOEGER – ACCOKEEK, MD – A. UBERTI – ITALY markings, this Cattleman II Steel is chambered in .357 Magnum and uses a traditional single-action-only mechanism. The six-shot fluted cylinder, fixed sights, and 5.5 inch 'Artillery' barrel deliver the well-known 1873 profile in a durable, all-steel package.
Construction is all steel, including the barrel, frame, cylinder, trigger guard, and backstrap. The finish pairs a color case-hardened frame and receiver with a blued barrel and cylinder. The walnut plow-handle grips have a glossy varnish and no medallions, maintaining an authentic look and feel.
