A 3.5 inch barrel makes this Cattleman a sheriff's size revolver, short and quick. The listing says new, factory blem, which means a cosmetic flaw in the finish or in the markings that kept it from being sold at full price. It is chambered in .38 Special and holds six rounds.

Short barrels are handy to draw and carry, though they have less sight radius than the standard lengths. They suit a rancher on a horse or a cowboy action shooter in a fast draw category. In .38 Special, recoil stays mild even with a lightweight revolver.

The Cattleman is Uberti's name for its 1873 Peacemaker copy. It has a long record among match shooters for fit and finish. A blem version provides the same quality with a lower price.

Ask your dealer what the blemish is, or look closely at the photos. Most people accept a small mark in exchange for savings.

For the money, it is a way to get an Italian made single action at a fair cost. The price is around five hundred eighty five dollars. It ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
