The Traditions 1873 Single Action Revolver brings classic Western styling together with the hard-hitting performance of .357 Magnum in a package built for range shooting, cowboy action competition, or display. The case-colored hardened frame pairs with wood grips for an authentic period aesthetic, while the 4.75-inch barrel strikes the traditional balance between draw speed and sight radius. This six-shot single action is chambered for .357 Magnum, meaning it also accepts .38 Special for more economical range sessions.
