Owners of the Uberti 1873 Cattleman NM regularly note the fit and finish as a strong point for the price. The stainless finish is practical for outdoor use and holds up well to weather. The single-action trigger is typically smooth out of the box, which Cattleman owners appreciate.

The NM transfer bar safety is a practical addition for those who want to carry all six chambers loaded, though purists who prefer the look of the original Old Model sometimes see it as a compromise on authenticity. The .45 LC chambering has broad appeal for both range shooting and hunting use.

The common criticism is cylinder timing that occasionally needs adjustment after extended use, and a few owners note the grips as the first part they swap out. Overall the Cattleman NM is considered a solid working single-action at a fair price point below custom American alternatives.
