Match shooters often choose .44-40 because it is the original round for many frontier guns. This Uberti 1873 Cattleman II shoots it from a 4.75 inch barrel and six rounds. The listing says blue, with a case hardened frame and the TG in the name, which usually points to a color case hardened trigger guard.

The Cattleman II has improvements over the first Cattleman, including the way the cylinder pin and the base pin are secured. It remains a faithful style of the old Colt single action, and it feels great in the hand when you cock it.

If you shoot a rifle in .44-40, this revolver gives you a pair that uses the same ammunition. That helps at cowboy action matches and cuts down the number of boxes on your shelf. Recoil is mild, and a mild load is easy to shoot fast.

The finish gives a rich contrast of color. Wipe it down after use and it will keep that look for years.

The listing is new. It ships to your FFL dealer, where the background check takes place.
