The 1873 Cattleman is a modern reproduction of Colt's famous Single Action Army (SAA) revolver. Initially developed for the US Army, it became universally praised by the troops and later earned the nickname of "Peacemaker" from lawmen and outlaws alike. The Cattleman Revolver features a 6-shot cylinder and spring-loaded cylinder-pin retainer for easy maintenance. A retractable firing pin adds additional safety by not locking into the firing position until the trigger is pulled. Collectors and shooters alike looking for an affordable reproduction will appreciate this treasured piece of American history whether it's in the field, on the range, or for the display case. This special 12-Shot model is chambered in .22 Long Rifle and comes with a 5.5-inch barrel. It features the standard classic two-tone finish with a case-hardened frame and blued barrel and trigger guard.
