Uberti BRASS Revolver: Modern Peacemaker in .357 Magnum

There’s a reason the old-school sixgun still turns heads. It’s the blend of history, balance, and clean mechanics—steel and walnut working together with a kind of quiet certainty. In a world of polymer frames and optics plates, a well-built single-action reminds you that confidence can be simple, deliberate, and precise.

UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN II BRASS brings that feeling to the present with a rugged, reliable homage to the legendary Single Action Army—now chambered in .357 Magnum and built for real shooters, not just the display case. At $599.99, it’s positioned for those who want authentic form with modern function. View product details and pricing

What makes this revolver matter

If you know the lineage, you know the “Peacemaker” wasn’t just a nickname—it was a statement. Originally built for the US Army and later trusted by lawmen and outdoorsmen, the pattern defined a generation of wheelguns. UBERTI carries that torch with care. The Cattleman series is a modern reproduction that respects the original’s handling while subtly integrating features that make sense today. This isn’t a costume piece; it’s a working revolver that feels right whether you’re drilling steel, riding fence lines, or building a collection with substance.

Caliber and barrel: why .357 Magnum with 4.75 inches works

The .357 Magnum pairing is smart. You get stout defensive and field-capable performance with the option to run .38 Special for economical training and softer recoil. Out of a 4.75-inch barrel—the traditional “gunfighter” length—you’ll find a sweet spot between sight radius, holsterability, and balance. The front settles naturally when you press out, and the muzzle transitions smoothly between targets. It’s easy to run clean, deliberate strings where every shot is earned by the press, not sprayed by the trigger finger.

Old-school soul, modern bones

The details matter. This Cattleman carries a 6-shot cylinder and a spring-loaded cylinder-pin retainer that makes takedown straightforward. That’s not a common party trick; it’s practical when you actually maintain your gear. The retractable firing pin is the quiet star here—designed not to lock into a firing position until the trigger is pulled. That adds a meaningful layer of safety while preserving the classic single-action feel. If you’ve run vintage-style revolvers before, you’ll appreciate that smart integration immediately.

Materials and finish that hold their own

Uberti leans into the traditional look without compromising execution. You get a case-hardened frame with a brass trigger guard and backstrap that set off the walnut grips and blued barrel in a way that’s unmistakably 1873, yet clean and tight by modern standards. The brass isn’t just for looks; it adds a bit of warmth to the hand and a visual contrast that ages beautifully as you put the revolver to work.

Trigger, timing, and the single-action rhythm

A single-action revolver rewards patience and economy of movement. Cock the hammer, find the wall, and break the shot—pure and predictable. The Cattleman’s lockwork tracks with classic geometry, and Uberti’s reputation for timing and cylinder fit shows up where it counts: consistent ignition and solid lockup. Running double taps isn’t the goal here; clean hits are. In that sense, this revolver trains discipline better than most modern pistols ever will.

For those who care about authenticity with performance baked in, the value proposition is clear at $599.99. This sits in a spot where shooters and collectors meet in the middle—serious enough to run, handsome enough to display. Shop this product

Safety features you can trust

The retractable firing pin deserves a closer look. Traditional single-actions required careful hammer positions to carry safely. Uberti’s system keeps the firing pin out of the game until the trigger is pressed. That means a safer carry and storage experience without adding levers or buttons that don’t belong on this platform. Combined with the spring-loaded cylinder-pin retainer, you get a revolver that’s easy to maintain and confidence-inspiring to handle.

Field use: from the range to the ranch

With .357 Magnum on board, you’ve got enough horsepower for varmints and trail work, and with .38 Special you’ll get long training sessions with minimal fatigue. The 4.75-inch barrel clears leather smoothly, and the revolver’s weight helps settle recoil so the sights return consistently. The walnut grips offer a firm, traditional profile that keeps your hand high and anchored without gimmicks. If you grew up on modern semi-autos, you’ll notice the slower pace and find it strangely refreshing—each shot becomes an intentional decision.

Maintenance and longevity

Simple machines live longer. The Cattleman’s cylinder removes easily for cleaning, the blued barrel wipes down without fuss, and the case-hardened frame shrugs off the normal dings and holster time you’ll rack up if you carry it. Keep the brass clean if you want the shine, or let it develop character. Either way, this is the kind of revolver you pass down with a story.

Brand pedigree

Uberti has been building faithful reproductions for decades, and it shows. Fit and finish are reliable, the lines are correct, and the mechanics honor the original design. For anyone in the Revolver category who demands historical accuracy blended with practical safety and serviceability, this model checks the right boxes without drifting into museum-only territory.

Where it fits in your lineup

If your safe already houses striker-fired workhorses and a precision rifle, the Cattleman adds something they can’t: a connection to the fundamentals. It’s a trainer, a trail companion, and a conversation starter that still punches well above its weight class. For new shooters, it teaches patience and safe handling. For seasoned hands, it scratches the itch for a classic that runs.

When you’re ready to add a modern Peacemaker that earns its keep, this one is ready out of the box. The price, materials, and .357 chambering all line up for a revolver you’ll actually use. Check current availability
