Though Italian manufacturer Uberti is known for firearms based on historic designs, this year, the company is introducing its Hunter series, which takes timeless firearms and updates them for the needs of the modern sportsman. The company's first model in this series was the 1873 Hunter Rifle, an update of the classic Old West lever gun. Its second model is the new-for-2024 Uberti 1873 Hunter Revolver.

Like the Hunter Rifle, the Hunter Revolver is based upon a historic firearm—the Colt 1873 Single Action Army. Uberti has a long history of producing 1873-style revolvers with its Cattleman line. The 1873 Hunter revolver follows the basic design of the Model P, in that it is a solid-frame single-action. While it uses the 7.5” barrel of the original Model 1873 adopted by the U.S. Army, the Hunter’s blued barrel is octagonal rather that round.

Its forged steel, new-model frame is case-colored, and the cylinder is left unfluted. The larger grip frame, taken from the 1860 Army, along with checkered walnut grips, are used to give the shooter better purchase. While the Hunter Revolver has the traditional front blade sight and rear frame notch, it comes with a section of Picatinny rail attached to the frame for the mounting of electronic or magnified optics. 

The Uberti 1873 Hunter Revolver is available chambered for either the .45 Colt or .44 Magnum cartridges. Either chambering has a cylinder capacity of six rounds and an MSRP of $799. For more information, visit uberti-usa.com.
