Hammer travel is the secret to fast single action shooting, and the Short Stroke version of the Cattleman shortens it. This revolver is chambered in .45 Long Colt, with a 5.5 inch barrel, six rounds, a case hardened frame and walnut grips.

A shorter hammer stroke means less movement for your thumb. At a cowboy action match, it adds up to a quicker cycle between shots. It also gives a smoother feel when you cock the gun slowly at the range.

The 5.5 inch barrel is the classic Peacemaker length, with a good balance between handling and sight radius. Walnut grips feel warm and look sharp. Case hardening gives colors that stand out in sunlight.

.45 Long Colt works well with cowboy loads, and the extra mass of the revolver makes it soft to shoot. You can also use heavier loads where the maker allows. Read the manual to be sure.

Whether you shoot for points or for fun, a short stroke Cattleman is an excellent upgrade over standard hammers.
