A 3.5 inch barrel makes a single-action revolver handy for the holster and the saddlebag. The Traditions 1873 Frontier is chambered in .357 Magnum with a case hardened frame and blued finish. That short barrel gives it the old Sheriff's Model feel, and it carries well on a ranch.

.357 Magnum revolvers also take .38 Special, so you can practice with light loads and keep the magnum for serious work. A short barrel will be louder and kick a bit more with magnum loads, so mix your ammunition sensibly.

Use it as a trail gun, a truck gun or a cowboy action piece. For action matches the short barrel is quick out of leather and light to hold. The finish gives it a rich appearance, and the walnut style grip feel is comfortable.

Traditions is known for pricing that stays reasonable. That makes this a good pick for someone who wants the look and the performance without spending on a premium brand.

It is listed new and ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
