UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN HOMBRE

Design and build quality

The UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN HOMBRE is a modern reproduction of the Colt Single Action Army, presented in a distinctive two-tone blued and brass frame with smooth walnut grips. It features a 4.75-inch barrel and a six-shot cylinder, preserving that traditional single-action feel. Uberti’s workmanship on this platform is noteworthy; the fit and finish on the frame and cylinder work is consistent with what shooters expect from a historically-based reproduction.

Key features and safety

Practical mechanical details

This Cattleman includes a spring-loaded cylinder-pin retainer for easier maintenance and a retractable firing pin that remains out of battery until the trigger is pulled, adding an extra layer of safety compared with early fixed firing-pin designs. Those features make it more user-friendly for range work and safe handling during storage.

Ergonomics and appearance

Smooth walnut grips offer a comfortable, period-correct hold without aggressive texturing, appropriate for range sessions or presentation in a collection. The two-tone finish gives the Hombre a distinctive, classic look that blends function with display quality. View product details and pricing

Caliber, ballistics, and applications

Chambered in .357 Magnum with a 4.75-inch barrel, this revolver offers versatile performance: full-power .357 loads for hunting or serious defensive use, and milder .38 Special practice loads for economical target work. The .357 Magnum delivers strong stopping power and flatter trajectories than many revolver calibers in this platform, making it useful on the range and in field scenarios where a classic single-action is preferred.

Ownership considerations

At $498.99, the UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN HOMBRE represents an affordable entry into historically inspired single-action revolvers with modern safety refinements. Uberti’s reputation for dependable reproductions means parts availability and community knowledge are strong assets for new owners. Whether you intend to shoot, display, or both, this Hombre balances authenticity with practical enhancements.
