The Winchester 1873 Rifle was called the “rifle that won the West.”
When the original gun was first offered, it was chambered in the powerful new .44-.40 cartridge. The .44 caliber bullet was propelled by 40 grains of black powder.
The success of the 1873 Rifle was assured when Colt quickly offered its Peacemaker in the same caliber. Then a cowboy needed only 1 cartridge belt for a lever-action rifle plus his 6-shooter.
The Uberti USA 1873 Competition chambered in 45 Colt takes the basic model to new heights of beauty and functionality.
