UBERTI 1873 Cattleman Birds Head New Model 357 Mag Revolver

Uberti 1873 Single Action Army Revolvers capture the visual authenticity of the originals down to the last detail with the exception of one important change: a retractable firing pin. When original Single Action Army's are fully loaded, the firing pin rests on a cartridge's primer, making them unsafe to carry with all six rounds. The only way to carry an original single-action safely is to keep the hammer un-cocked with the firing pin resting on an empty chamber.Uberti fixes this age-old problem with a unique new system:At rest, the firing pin floats freely in its guide and exerts no pressure on the chamber.When the hammer is fully cocked, the sear shifts into position to engage the pin.When the trigger is pulled the sear engages the pin and locks it forward until the trigger is released.With the firing pin remaining unlocked while the hammer is down, the risk of accidental discharge is reduced.
