Step into the legacy of the 1873 Cattleman—an icon of the American West. With its classic lines and enduring craftsmanship, this revolver isn’t just a firearm—it’s a story waiting to be told. Whether you’re a collector, a cowboy at heart, or simply drawn to timeless design, the Cattleman delivers history in your hands.

We often get asked about the difference in the New Model and Old Model Frame. So let's dive into that and explore the differences. 

So let's recap:

• Collectors & Historians: The Old Model frame is truer to the original 1873 Colt design, making it ideal for period-correct displays or reenactments.
• Functionality: Both frames are compatible with modern smokeless powder, but the retention method affects ease of disassembly and maintenance.
• Visuas: On the Old Model frame the bullseye ejector and screw-retained base pin evoke a more rugged, frontier-era aesthetic.

If you're looking for "push-button convenience" and the largest selection of finishes and styles - shop the New Model frames.
