Design & Heritage

The 1873 Cattleman echoes the Single Action Army’s legendary silhouette that earned the “Peacemaker” reputation. This model presents a charcoal blue finish on barrel, cylinder, trigger guard and backstrap, paired with a case-hardened frame and walnut grips—an authentic visual nod for collectors while remaining durable for practical use. As a Revolver category piece, it excels as both a display-quality firearm and a functional shooter.

Performance & Features

At its heart is the .45 Long Colt chambering. This caliber offers manageable recoil in a heavy-frame revolver, good terminal performance for traditional uses, and plentiful reloading data for handloaders. The 6-shot cylinder keeps follow-up shots available without frequent reloads, and the 5.5-inch barrel strikes a balance between sight radius and carry ergonomics.

Safety & Maintenance

Practical safety features include a retractable firing pin that does not lock into the firing position until the trigger is pulled—reducing the chance of accidental discharge during handling or transport. The spring-loaded cylinder-pin retainer simplifies disassembly for cleaning without tools, making routine maintenance straightforward.
