Historical Significance

The Colt Single Action Army revolver, introduced in 1873, quickly became a standard sidearm for U.S. cavalry troops and a symbol of the American frontier. Known as the “Peacemaker,” it was adopted by lawmen, soldiers, and outlaws alike due to its reliability, power, and practicality. The Desperado model represents one of the many special-order variations that were produced during the late 19th century, characterized by high-quality finishes and unique grip options.

The Uberti 1873 Cattleman Desperado faithfully recreates this iconic firearm while integrating modern improvements. The New Model (NM) Desperado features an enhanced spring-loaded cylinder-pin retainer, making cylinder removal and maintenance easier without compromising the classic single-action operation.

Design and Features

With its polished nickel-plated frame and buffalo horn-style grip, the Desperado combines elegance and authenticity. The six-shot fluted cylinder operates smoothly, and the single-action mechanism provides a crisp, consistent trigger pull, making this revolver ideal for historical reenactments, target shooting, or display in a collector’s cabinet.
