The Uberti 1875 Army Outlaw is a single-action revolver chambered in .45 Colt, modeled on the Remington 1875 design. The nickel/chrome finish and 7.75-inch barrel give it the profile associated with the late 19th-century frontier revolvers it recreates. At 2.8 lbs and 13.6 inches overall, it handles well for cowboy action shooting and range use.

Detailed Features 

The single-action mechanism requires manually cocking the hammer before each shot, which is part of what makes this revolver appealing for historical disciplines and deliberate target shooting. The 7.75-inch barrel contributes to sight radius and helps with accuracy at range. Six grooves with a 1:16" right-hand twist stabilize .45 Colt projectiles well across common bullet weights. 
 
The nickel/chrome finish resists corrosion and is visually distinctive. Uberti's manufacturing is widely regarded for tight tolerances and smooth actions on their single-action reproductions. 
 

Target Audience 

This revolver appeals to cowboy action shooters, collectors of historically styled firearms, and anyone who wants a well-made single-action .45 Colt with period-correct aesthetics. It is not a practical choice for defensive use given the single-action requirement, but that is not its purpose. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

Cowboy action shooting competitions are the primary use case. The .45 Colt cartridge in a 7.75-inch barrel is well matched to the distances and target sizes typical in that discipline. It also functions as a range revolver and display piece for those collecting Old West-era reproductions.

Feedback on the Uberti 1875 Army Outlaw in .45 Colt Nickel generally runs positive, with a few consistent themes.

The historical design draws most of the praise. Collectors and cowboy action shooters appreciate how closely it follows the original Remington 1875 pattern. The nickel finish is noted specifically as looking better in person than in photos.

Uberti's build quality comes up often. Reviewers describe the action as smooth and the fit and finish as solid for a reproduction at this price point. Weight and balance are generally well received.

The main limitation noted in discussions is the single-action mechanism itself. Some users point out it limits the revolver's utility outside of its intended historical and sporting contexts. This is a known characteristic of the platform, not a defect.

Ammo notes appear occasionally. A few users recommend specific .45 Colt loads for best accuracy, avoiding very hot or magnum-equivalent loadings not designed for this frame.

Collectors and cowboy action shooters tend to be the most satisfied buyers. Those expecting a general-purpose revolver should look elsewhere.
