Historical Background

The Colt Single Action Army revolver, first introduced in 1873, quickly became a standard sidearm for U.S. cavalry troops and a symbol of the American West. Famously known as the “Peacemaker,” it was widely adopted by soldiers, lawmen, outlaws, and settlers due to its dependability and powerful .45 caliber cartridge. The Desperado model recreates one of the most popular special-order variations from the Old West, distinguished by its unique grip style and polished nickel finish.

Uberti has meticulously replicated this historic firearm, incorporating modern improvements such as the New Model (NM) spring-loaded cylinder-pin retainer, which allows for easier cylinder removal and maintenance while preserving the revolver’s classic single-action mechanism.

Design and Features

The Desperado model features a polished nickel-plated frame paired with a Bison Horn-style grip, providing both durability and visual elegance. The six-shot fluted cylinder delivers smooth, consistent operation, while the single-action trigger mechanism offers crisp and reliable performance.
