Your BGS revolver is also listed on the Uberti page I posted...model 349879. So if I wanted this Stallion model as described on the Uberti sight, BGS has the correct gun --- setting aside the BGS nomenclature. Here were my experiences and shopping challenges to recently "build" my small Uberti SA revolver collection.
1) I got the 1874 Russian top break at BGS. Found the model number of the top break I wanted on the Uberti site, and BGS had the exact revolver in stock.
2) Same scenario as #1 for my 1890 Police.
Had some identification oddities here, however. The gun box showed the correct model number, and said it was an 1890 Police from Uberti. But it also listed on the box that it was the Stoeger distributor. Yup, my 1890 Police has Stoeger stamped on the barrel, plus
it wasn't stamped a Police revolver; rather it was stamped an
Outlaw Such is the odd way of things. I had the right revolver I wanted in the correct caliber; I liked the looks very much, and I kept it as is. But the nomenclature on the gun itself and the box seemed liked it went awry from who-knows-where. I've not totally been able to figure it out, nor could my FFL shop. Such is the odd way of it.
3. The 1873 Stallion was a snap to buy. I visited a LGS about 8 miles from my home, and
there it was in the gun display case. I wasn't looking for one; just "window shopping." But it was configured exactly the way I've always wanted a SA .22LR revolver. It took me probably less than 2 minutes to tell them that I would buy it! Within 1/2 hour or so I was on my way home with it.
Sounds like you have some shopping challenges with availability in your area. Best I can say is that whether you buy one from an internet shop, or find one in an LGS, the key is the exact Uberti model number from their web site. I'm all but certain that will do it and you'll have what you want.
I bet that .38 Special will be
fun to shoot. And as I've found with my 3 single-actions, a well-made, quality revolver.
Best in your search.

I started with the Uberti website. I had found the .38s there. I started with their "find a dealer", but the list that comes up for my area is useless. The list in half the dealers don't carry the Stallion and the other half of the list doesn't sell firearms. So that sent to search online dealers. Here is one example where 'Cattleman' is used in conjunction with 'Stallion' in the product description:

Sounds like from the additional information you pointed out on the Uberti website a dealer should not be using those two words together. That they are separate distinct products unto themselves.

https://www.uberti-usa.com/stallion-revolver
My revolver (.22LR) is on this web page, and there also is offered the
Stallion in .38 Special caliber. When you view this page, there are two links (gun photos) titled "Stallion" and "Stallion 10-shot." Immediately below those links, the revolver description tells you that the Cattleman and Stallion are different models of the original Colt S/A revolver....the key is the size of the revolver.
Then scroll further down on the page, and you'll find that under "specifications" there is only
one model number that lists the Stallion in .38 Special. If this model matches what you want in the Uberti S/A, you've found it. Hope this helps.
