Uberti 1873 Cattleman Nickel 45Colt 4.75″ Barrel 6Rd

For those who wish to own a single-action revolver for use rather than display, consider a manufacturer renowned for crafting the finest Wild West replica firearms and esteemed in the Cowboy Action Shooting Circuit. The company I’m referring to is Uberti. In July 1873, the U.S. Army adopted the Colt Single Action Army revolver, replacing the older Model 1860 percussion-cap revolvers. The Single Action Army gained immediate popularity among soldiers for its formidable stopping power, high accuracy, and ease of maintenance. These revolvers soon became favored by civilians, lawmen, and outlaws alike, who acknowledged the Single Action Army’s superior design.

As the Wild West era came to an end, the legacy of the Single Action Army persisted. Today, Uberti continues this legacy with their line of Model 1873 Single Action Army Revolvers, keeping the spirit of the original Colt alive. These revolvers capture the visual authenticity of the originals down to the last detail with the exception of one important change: a retractable firing pin. When original Single Action Army’s are fully loaded, the firing pin rests on a cartridge’s primer, making them unsafe to carry with all six rounds. The only way to carry an original single-action safely is to keep the hammer un-cocked with the firing pin resting on an empty chamber. In the world of single-action revolvers, it is truly a legend.

Those interested in a Western-style revolver for target practice or competition might consider the Uberti 1873 Cattleman Polished Nickel.
