A Cattleman II is the version of the Uberti Peacemaker that adds a few modern touches, and it is a good fit for cowboy-action shooters. This one is chambered in .45 Colt, with a 5.5 inch barrel, a blued finish, a case hardened frame and walnut grips.

The 5.5 inch barrel is the sweet spot for many shooters. It carries easier than a 7.5 and gives a better sight picture than a 4.75. In .45 Colt, it handles mild cowboy loads smoothly and can take heavier ones if you check the manual first.

The mix of blued steel, case hardened color and walnut gives it a handsome three-tone look. Uberti is well known for tight tolerances and good fit, which shows in how the action feels when you cock the hammer.

If you are looking for a first quality single-action, this revolver is a good place to start. It is a belt gun for the ranch, the range or the match. The revolver ships to your local FFL dealer, and the background check is completed before you take it home.
