The Uberti 1873 Cattleman Bisley 357 Magnum 5.5in Revolver is a faithful reproduction of one of Colt’s most iconic late-19th-century designs. Originally crafted as a target revolver, the Bisley is instantly recognizable by its long grip frame, target-style grips, and low-profile hammer. Chambered in the versatile .357 Magnum, this Uberti reproduction brings together Western heritage and modern shooting practicality in one classic firearm.

History of the Colt Bisley Revolver

The Colt Bisley revolver made its debut at the 1894 British Commonwealth Championship Match in Bisley, England, where it earned its name. Designed for precision target shooting, the Bisley featured unique ergonomics compared to the traditional Colt Single Action Army. Its longer grip and low-slung hammer made it easier to control during competitive shooting.

Between 1894 and 1915, Colt manufactured more than 40,000 Bisley revolvers, making it a highly sought-after collector’s item. Today, Uberti has re-created the Bisley within their popular 1873 Cattleman series, offering shooters and collectors the chance to own a revolver that combines historical authenticity with modern craftsmanship.
