Uberti 1873 Single Action Cattleman Desperado 45 (Long) Colt 5.5in Polished Nickel Revolver – 6 Rounds
The Uberti 1873 Single Action Cattleman Desperado .45 Colt 5.5-inch Revolver brings Old West firepower and style together in one remarkable six-shooter. Finished in brilliant polished nickel and fitted with simulated buffalo horn grips, this revolver captures the rugged individuality of the frontier while maintaining Uberti’s legendary craftsmanship and authenticity.
The Iconic Single Action Army Heritage
First introduced in 1873, the Colt Single Action Army (SAA) revolver became the standard U.S. Army sidearm and quickly spread across the frontier. Soldiers, lawmen, outlaws, and pioneers all trusted the rugged reliability and stopping power of the SAA. Dubbed the “Peacemaker,” it was one of the most important firearms of the 19th century. The Uberti Cattleman Desperado faithfully reproduces this legendary design, allowing today’s shooters and collectors to own a revolver with the same spirit and handling as the originals.
Distinctive Polished Nickel Finish
The polished nickel finish not only enhances durability but also gives the Desperado a bright, eye-catching shine. In the Old West, nickel-plated revolvers were prized for their ability to resist rust and wear while standing out from standard blued models. The Desperado stays true to that tradition, making it both practical for modern shooting and striking in any collection.
Simulated Buffalo Horn Grips
What sets the Uberti Cattleman Desperado apart are its simulated buffalo horn grips. Designed to emulate the rugged style of natural horn, these grips provide excellent control and a bold aesthetic that reflects the individuality of frontier gunfighters. Combined with the nickel finish, they give this revolver a unique character that stands out among traditional single-action handguns.
