Just purchased Uberti 1873 Cattleman Hombre 357 Mag ,one of those listed on Gun Broker for 250.00

I'm not into western style shooting ..I just really wanted a dependable 357 Mag.. that i could carry while working in the pasture, and checking the springs and such..i once had a used and very worn Black Hawk 357 mag 3 screw ,that fit that bill ..but i let it go to a fellow who was going to restore her..

I looked into getting a lesser priced K frame DA ..but really didn't want sights..and relly didn't know how it would hold up to the ruff treatment ,
After ready about these Uberti's i figured they would fit the bill...

i may have the barrel bobbed to 3.5 inches..or such, but I guessI'll see how she runs first...
At this price it was hard to pass up.. !!!
