Design and construction

The Uberti 1873 Single-Action Cattleman follows the classic single-action silhouette first issued to U.S. cavalry troops and refined for civilian and law enforcement use. This El Patron variation uses a stainless steel finish paired with checkered wood grips for a balance of durability and traditional feel. Buyers can choose between six- or 12-shot cylinder configurations depending on intended use.

Sights and target acquisition

What sets this model apart tactically are the easy-view sights designed for rapid target acquisition. The sight geometry supports quick alignments during timed stages or practical drills while maintaining an intuitive sight picture for precision work. For competitors and defensive-minded shooters alike, that quick index can shave valuable fractions of a second off follow-up shots.

Cylinder and shooting workflow

The numbered chambers on the cylinder are a practical feature for competitive shooters and serious handloaders — they simplify tracking fired rounds and help in staging specific loads during matches. The 5.5-inch barrel provides a useful balance: it aids sight radius and muzzle velocity for the .45 Long Colt while keeping the revolver maneuverable.

Caliber and performance

The El Patron is chambered in .45 Long Colt, a cartridge known for reliable terminal performance and proven stopping power. For range and match work, .45 LC offers controllable recoil in a well-balanced single-action frame, and it’s flexible for both lightweight target loads and heavier defensive or hunting loads where legal and appropriate.
