The Uberti 1873 Cattleman Bird’s Head Old Model 357 Magnum Revolver is a compact and historically inspired reproduction of the iconic Colt Single Action Army. Featuring a distinctive bird’s head grip, a 3.5-inch barrel, and chambering in the powerful .357 Magnum, this revolver blends concealability with Old West authenticity. Weighing just 2.2 pounds, it is the ideal revolver for Western enthusiasts who want a concealable yet collectible firearm with classic cowboy styling.

Overview of the Uberti Bird’s Head Old Model

The bird’s head grip design dates back to the 1850s when Colt first introduced it on Derringers. In 1877, Colt incorporated the style into full-frame revolvers, giving shooters a more compact, concealable option without sacrificing comfort or control. Uberti has revived this iconic grip style and incorporated it into their popular 1873 Cattleman series, creating a revolver that is both practical for today’s shooters and faithful to its 19th-century heritage.

The 3.5-inch blued barrel and walnut grips enhance the revolver’s authentic look, while the chambering in .357 Magnum provides versatility — capable of firing both powerful .357 Magnum loads and softer-recoiling .38 Special rounds. Whether for collection, cowboy action shooting, or casual range use, the Uberti Bird’s Head Old Model delivers unique styling with historical significance.
