- Ep. 9 of Gun Table Talk. In today’s episode, I will be going over another iconic revolver of the 19th century the 1873 Cattlemen. This revolver is probably one of the most famous guns of the Wild West and Hollywood films. If you’ve ever watch old classic western films you’ve seen the 1873 Cattleman.
I will be going over both the Uberti and Pietta versions of this pistol. I will also be discussing a quick history of this revolver, and the reproductions themselves. Depending on which gun maker you buy this specific model pistol results may vary. This particular model of revolver comes in a variety of calibers, and it’s still a very popular handgun in today’s time.
This video will not be demonstrating the loading or firing sequence of this particular handgun that will be for range video sometime in the future. I do not consider myself a historian, so if there is some thing that I left out, got wrong, or possibly misguided please let me know in the comments down below.

Thank you so much for watching!👍🏻

There is a safety on the four click models. The very first click is a safety notch. It keeps the firing pin off the primer and it requires over one thousand pounds of force to break it.
Yes I love that design 👌🏼
Wrong. It's the flimsy trigger sear that breaks and wears down. Not the "safety" notch (death notch) on the first click. Example: I have an SAA1873 with a trigger sear that has worn down like the sharpening of a knife blade. With the hammer on the first click (death notch) the firing pin rests on the cartridge primer. Always keep an empty chamber under the hammer when loading. Don't let your sixgun fantasy blow the brain out of your head.
I have the Uberti nickel plated 7.5" Cattleman just like that one. I'd like to say it's the favorite of all my guns, but they're all my favorite.
lol yes it’s hard to have a favorite
I pick up my nickel plated pietta 4.75” next week! Can’t wait!
@Alextheskater91 Good thing about the Pietta is the 4-click action and no retracting safety hammer. Have fun!
@@linguisticman that’s why I picked it. Did my research ;) i wanted it to be as close to a colt replica as possible
Actually, the original Colt offering of this gun was the Single Action Army 1873 with a 7 inch barrel. I don't recall Colt ever referring to them as "Cattleman". Cattleman is a marketing name for replicas.
@@casamequite that’s the first I’ve heard of them only coming out with 7 inch barrels🤔 interesting. As for the cattleman name, yes you are correct that was strictly for marketing for the reproductions.
The original was a 7.5 inch barrel, not 7 inch
@@kevinmarrett9532 okay
I have had all kinds of guns bought and sold over the years and now I am down to three. My Ruger 357 SP 101, Ruger Wrangler 22 and my SAA Uber 1973 clone in 45LC, They are the last I would ever get rid of.
Yeah, those are definitely some good shooters.👌🏼
1- your note on the terminal ballistics of the 45lc is uh... well way off.
2- yes, historically these guns very clearly do have a safety.
3- no, people did not traditionally carry 5- that started with Hollywood and the marketing behind the transfer bar.
Colt made fantastic looking gun with the Peacemaker just doesn't date.
Don’t file the sites just add more powder.😉
Great videos, man I love cowboy guns
I have a specific powder charge I like to use that’s more accurate, but It shoots lower. Thanks for watching
@@TheMusketMan98 right on. I never had an issue with accuracy adding more powder. I’m using between 35 and 40 grains of triple seven and it shoots point of aim for me.
@@mypetvelociraptor Nice I may have to try that👌🏼
❤ my uberti
"Cattleman" is Uberti's name for its line of "Colt clones", that is, reproductions of the Colt Single Action Army revolver. Colt never used that term. The factory designation was "Model P". The moniker "Peacemaker" was associated with the revolver but was not a Colt designation. With respect, you are giving bad advice about the way to carry these revolvers. The Pietta is a pretty faithful copy of the original Colt design that includes the so-called safety notch. Yes, that first position (or "click") positions the hammer so that the firing pin is not in contact with the primer of the cartridge but the sear (the top of the trigger) and the notch in the hammer are not terribly robust and may shear off if the hammer is struck. Uberti's "Cattleman 2" redesign with the retracting firing pin eliminates the first click as redundant. Of course, you have firsthand knowledge of how well that worked out. The best advice with these revolvers is to carry them with the hammer down on an empty chamber. Ruger has the best engineered system for a single action revolver that can be safely carried fully loaded.
Thanks for the comment and the information it always helps to learn more. 👍🏻
I believe that Uberti is nickel, not stainless steel.
@@paymonm9065 yes I believe you’re right but at the time I didn’t know🤷🏼♂️
Alec Baldwin prefers a pietta
Danggggggg…..😬😬😬😬
Uberti is not as good as Peitta
I like them both👍🏻
@@TheMusketMan98 I do too but the peitta is built a bit better
I thought Pietta buys from Uberti lol
Pietta is built better,of course it depends on the model. 1873...go with pietta other than that, uberti seems to be ok but needs more fine tuning.
@chuggon7595 Pietta and Uberti are different manufacturers altogether. The companies that buy from them are Cimarron, Taylor's & Co, EMF, Stoeger, Traditions.
