Single-action revolver fans understand the fun of running their favorite Old West six-shooter on the range. Now Uberti USA is giving classic revolver fans a new excuse to strap on vintage-style iron with the release of its 1873 Hunter Revolvers, pairing perfectly with the company's 1873 Hunter lever-action rifle.

Chambered in the same calibers as the long gun—.45 Long Colt or .44 Magnum—so hunters can take to the field carrying a single caliber, the 1873 Hunter models are based on Uberti’s popular 1873 Cattleman single-action revolver series. The difference is that the 1873 Hunter Revolvers come with a frame-mounted Picatinny rail. This is ideal for single action army enthusiasts who wish to hunt medium- and large-size game with the proven .45 LC or .44 Magnum cartridges, but are not comfortable doing so with the traditional iron-sight configuration.

With the inclusion of the Picatinny rail, shooters can now add modern optics to this American heritage revolver and enjoy point-of-aim, point-of-impact performance at typical hunting distances. The rail is suitable for mounting either a long eye relief low-power handgun scope or a compact red dot optic. The red dot option is also a great choice for recreational shooters looking for a faster and more easily acquirable way to get on target, making the 1873 Hunter Revolvers as suitable for a day at the range as a day in the deer woods.

Both 1873 Hunter Revolvers come with a 7.5-inch blued barrel, a fluteless six-round cylinder, a classic color case frame and an elegant walnut grip. These guns feature the longer Uberti 1860-style grip to better accommodate the shooter’s hand while wearing gloves.
