The EAA Weihrauch Bounty Hunter Revolver 4.75" 6-Round Blued is a German-made single-action six-shooter built for the shooter who values old-school reliability over flash. Chambered in .357 Magnum or .38 Special, this fixed-sight revolver gives you a transfer-bar safety system and recessed chambers — real safety upgrades you won’t find on antique clones. If you want a workingman’s revolver that hits hard and doesn’t need a gunsmith to run, this is it.

Key Features
- Transfer-Bar Safety System — This allows you to carry six rounds safely with the hammer down on a live chamber, unlike original single-actions that required an empty chamber under the hammer. It’s a legit safety upgrade for daily carry or bedside storage.
- 4.75" Barrel — Balances muzzle velocity and handling for fast target acquisition at self-defense distances (7–15 yards). The shorter sight radius still works fine for minute-of-bad-guy accuracy.
- Fixed Front Blade Sight — No adjustable rear sight to snag on clothing or break under recoil. It’s a simple, rugged sight picture that stays zeroed for the life of the gun.
- Recessed Chambers — The cylinder chambers are recessed so the cartridge rims sit flush, reducing the chance of a primer strike from a hard bump. It also makes loading and unloading smoother.
- Wood Grips with Full Frame — The wood grips fill your hand without being oversized, letting you manage .357 recoil without shifting your grip. The alloy frame keeps weight manageable for all-day belt carry.
Who It’s For
This revolver is for the CCW holder who wants a backup piece with zero chance of limp-wrist malfunctions. It’s also for the home defender who prefers a simple point-and-shoot platform over a semi-auto with safeties and slide releases. If you’re a collector of classic single-action designs but demand modern safety features, this fits your safe too.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Transfer-bar safety means you can carry six rounds without manual lowering of the hammer — a huge safety advantage over original Colt clones.
- Pro: German manufacturing from Weihrauch means tight tolerances and consistent timing out of the box. According to EAA specs, the cylinder gap is held to 0.004–0.006 inches, which helps accuracy and reduces spitting.
- Con: The fixed sights are not adjustable for windage or elevation. If you shoot significantly high or low with your chosen load, you’ll need to file the front sight or change ammo. This is a known limitation for shooters who want precision target work.
- Con: The alloy frame keeps weight down but may show holster wear faster than a steel frame over years of daily carry.
Comparison: EAA Bounty Hunter vs. Ruger Vaquero vs. Uberti 1873
| Feature | EAA Bounty Hunter 4.75" | Ruger Vaquero (Blued, 4.62") | Uberti 1873 Cattleman (4.75") |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (MSRP) | $380.99 | $849.00 | $579.00 |
| Frame Material | Alloy | Steel | Steel |
| Safety | Transfer bar | Transfer bar | Half-cock notch (no transfer bar) |
| Capacity | 6 rounds | 6 rounds | 6 rounds |
| Country of Origin | Germany | USA | Italy |
| Best For | Budget-minded CCW/home defense | Rugged field use | Historical reenactment/collectors |
The EAA Bounty Hunter gives you a transfer-bar safety at half the price of the Ruger Vaquero. The Uberti lacks that safety feature, making it less suitable for loaded carry. If you need a six-shooter for actual protection, the EAA is the smarter buy.
