Ergonomics are often the overlooked factor that separates a shooter who is merely competent from one who is precise and confident under pressure. For shooters with larger hands, standard grips can force compromises in purchase, trigger reach, and recoil control—issues that translate directly to inconsistent groups and slower follow-up shots.

UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN EL PATRON GRIZZLY PAW

Designed specifically for large hands—what the maker calls “grizzly paws”—this model adapts a tried-and-true El Patron frame to shooters who need more real estate on the grip without sacrificing classic lines. The checkered 1860 Army grips provide a tactile interface that improves purchase in dry, wet, or gloved conditions, making pointability and recoil control more consistent for bigger-handed shooters.

Fit and handling advantages

The enlarged grip profile keeps the shooter’s hand higher and more consistently placed relative to the bore axis, which reduces muzzle flip and shortens sight recovery time. Those checkered 1860 Army-style grips are not just cosmetic: the texture is cut to give a repeatable hand placement and positive traction when conditions would otherwise cause slippage.

Why this matters for accuracy and follow-up shots

Grip ergonomics are foundational to trigger control. With a secure grip, shooters maintain a straighter trigger pull and reduce lateral disturbance. The UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN EL PATRON GRIZZLY PAW is tailored to that principle—large-handed users report a more natural trigger reach and improved cadence during rapid-fire strings. For hunters, range shooters, or collectors who actually shoot their pieces, those benefits translate to measurable accuracy gains.
