Design and Mechanical Features

The UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN II reproduces hallmark SAA details while incorporating user-friendly mechanics. The 6-shot cylinder offers traditional capacity for single-action shooting, and the spring-loaded cylinder-pin retainer simplifies cylinder removal for cleaning and inspection. A retractable firing pin adds a layer of safety: it does not lock into the firing position until the trigger is pulled, reducing the risk during handling and transport. The polished nickel finish paired with walnut grips gives a museum-quality appearance without sacrificing durability.

Barrel, Caliber, and Ballistics

Chambered in .45 Long Colt with a 7.5-inch barrel, this revolver delivers classic ballistics suitable for historical shooting scenarios and general-purpose range work.
