Design and build quality

Uberti has long been known for faithful reproductions and high-quality finishes, and the Cattleman continues that reputation. The 5.5″ barrel improves sight radius and velocity over shorter-barrel variants, while the six-round cylinder maintains the classic silhouette. Attention to timing, cylinder lockup, and machining tolerances makes this model suitable for range-focused tactical practice and collection use alike.

Why 9mm matters here

Running the Cattleman in 9mm offers several tactical advantages: ammunition availability, reduced recoil compared with larger magnum rounds, and compatibility with many common load types. For shooters transitioning from semi-autos or seeking lower-cost range time, 9mm provides efficient training while still delivering effective terminal performance when loaded appropriately.

Practical shooting applications

Use this revolver for deliberate precision drills, slow-fire accuracy work, and as a robust backup sidearm in controlled environments. The 5.5″ barrel aids grouping at extended pistol ranges, and the six-shot capacity reflects the classic balance of form and function. For those who value mechanical simplicity in a defensive toolkit, the Cattleman’s straightforward operation is a feature, not a compromise. View product details and pricing
