Uberti 1873 Cattleman Charcoal Blue .45 Colt 4.75″ Bbl C/H Frame Steel B/S & T/G OM 6rd Revolver

The Uberti 1873 Cattleman Charcoal Blue .45 Colt 4.75-inch Revolver is an authentic reproduction of the legendary Colt Single Action Army, the revolver that became the standard sidearm of the U.S. Army in 1873. With its charcoal blue finish, 1-piece walnut grip, and classic single-action operation, this revolver combines historical accuracy with modern craftsmanship. Known for its stopping power, accuracy, and reliability, the 1873 Cattleman remains a favorite among collectors, cowboy action shooters, and enthusiasts of Old West firearms.

History of the Colt Single Action Army

In July 1873, the U.S. Army adopted the Colt Single Action Army to replace its older Model 1860 percussion-cap revolvers. Soldiers quickly appreciated its formidable stopping power, high accuracy, and easy-to-maintain construction. The revolver soon became popular with civilians, lawmen, and outlaws who recognized its superior design.

The legacy of the Single Action Army extends beyond the Wild West. Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders carried them during the charge up San Juan Hill, and General George S. Patton used one during World War II despite the growing prevalence of semi-automatic handguns. Today, Uberti continues to honor this heritage with their precise reproductions in the 1873 Cattleman line.
