Traditions 1873 Sa .357 Magnum 5.5" Revolver

The Traditions 1873 SA 357 Magnum CCH/WD 5.5" is a classic single-action revolver built for shooters who demand authentic Old West ergonomics combined with modern reliability. Part of the Frontier series, this replica delivers the proven design that defined American firearms history, making it ideal for cowboy action shooting, historical reenactment, and traditional handgun enthusiasts who prioritize mechanical simplicity and timeless aesthetics over modern tactical systems.

Built on a solid steel frame, the Traditions 1873 SA features a color case-hardened receiver and finish that replicates period-correct metallurgy while providing functional corrosion resistance. The 5.5-inch barrel chambered in .357 Magnum with .38 Special compatibility offers versatile ammunition options and balanced point-of-aim for both precision and rapid fire applications. Fixed sights are optimized for the intended distance envelope of traditional single-action use, and the six-round cylinder capacity represents the standard fighting load of the original 1873 pattern. Walnut grips provide authentic handling feel and grip purchase during extended shooting sessions.

The dual-caliber capability allows shooters to practice with economical .38 Special rounds while maintaining .357 Magnum capability for duty or field use. Weighing 1 pound, the platform balances handling speed with recoil management across both calibers. Whether for Sass competition, frontier recreation, or pure mechanical appreciation, the Traditions 1873 SA delivers authentic performance backed by decades of proven 1873 Colt design principles.
