Key Features
Design & Ergonomics
The SAA 1873 Medium Frame precisely replicates the aesthetic and manual operation of the original 1873 Single Action revolver. Its exposed hammer and single-action trigger mechanism provide a traditional shooting experience, beneficial for fundamental skill development and historical reenactment.
