For shooters seeking a historically faithful single-action platform with modern safety features and a unique twist on capacity, the right reproduction can deliver both heritage and utility. Tactical operators, instructors, and collectors often value an iron that balances classic design with practical systems for training and light defensive roles.

UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN II is a faithful modern reproduction of Colt’s Single Action Army, blending the iconic Peacemaker silhouette with updated mechanical features. This special 12-shot model is chambered in .22 Long Rifle and comes with a 5.5-inch barrel. It retains period-correct aesthetics—case-hardened frame with a blued barrel and trigger guard—while offering a spring-loaded cylinder-pin retainer for easier maintenance and a retractable firing pin that does not lock into the firing position until the trigger is pulled.

Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this Cattleman II provides low-recoil handling ideal for new shooters, extended dry- and live-fire training, and small-game use. While .22 LR is not a frontline defensive caliber for primary duty, it excels as a training tool to build trigger discipline, sight alignment, and single-action manipulation on a platform that mimics larger-caliber single actions. The 12-shot capacity in .22 LR offers extended practice between reloads compared to traditional 6-shot SAA-style cylinders.

Key tactical and mechanical features

The retrievable firing pin safety is a thoughtful modern addition: it prevents the firing pin from locking into position until the trigger is pulled, reducing the chance of inert strikes during handling. The spring-loaded cylinder-pin retainer streamlines takedown and cleaning in the field or at the range. The 5.5-inch barrel balances sight radius and maneuverability—useful for target acquisition while remaining comfortable for carry in appropriate holsters.

At a listed price of $616.99, the UBERTI 1873 CATTLEMAN II represents an accessible way to own a historically accurate revolver with practical upgrades. View product details and pricing on our shop page to compare configurations and availability.
