Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Some sixguns are built to blend in. The Gamblers Royale is not one of them. Pietta took their Great Western II platform, a faithful take on the 1873 Single Action Army, and dressed it up the way a high-stakes card player of the 1880s would have wanted: Victorian scroll engraving rolled across the barrel and cylinder, an old silver finish on the frame that plays off the deep ultra black barrel, and a one-piece black wood grip that ties the whole look together. Think Doc Holliday at the table, not a working ranch gun, though it will happily do both.
Underneath the fancy dress this is still a proper single action revolver, made and engraved by F.lli Pietta in Italy for EMF's Great Western II lineup. You get a steel frame, a six-shot cylinder chambered in .45 Colt, and the classic 4.75 inch gunfighter-length barrel that balances quick out of a leather rig. Sights are traditional, with a fixed blade up front and a hammer notch rear, exactly what you would expect on an 1873 pattern gun. The action runs the way a Peacemaker-style revolver should, with that satisfying series of clicks as you thumb the hammer back.
This one earns its keep in a few places. Cowboy action competitors get a match-ready .45 that stands out on the firing line. Collectors get factory engraving and a two-tone finish at a fraction of what custom engraving work costs. And anyone who just appreciates the golden age of the single action gets a revolver that looks as good in the case as it does in hand. The .45 Colt chambering keeps it authentic too, since that was the original cartridge for the 1873, and there is no shortage of soft-shooting cowboy loads that make range days with this gun downright pleasant.
The Victorian scrollwork is factory engraving done by Pietta in Italy, covering the barrel, cylinder, and the old silver frame. It is applied at the factory rather than hand-cut by a custom engraver, which is how it stays affordable, but it is genuine engraving that gives the gun a true presentation-grade look.
Absolutely, and plenty of folks do. It is built on Pietta's Great Western II platform, a faithful 1873 Single Action Army pattern, so it runs like any other Peacemaker-style sixgun in a match. The 4.75 inch barrel is a favorite length for cowboy action since it clears leather quickly.
It is chambered for .45 Colt, often called .45 Long Colt, and holds six rounds. Standard pressure .45 Colt loads and light cowboy action loads are the way to go with this 1873-pattern design. It is not chambered for .45 ACP or .454 Casull, so stick with .45 Colt only.
It is manufactured and engraved by F.lli Pietta in Italy, a family-run maker with a long track record of quality single action reproductions. The gun is part of the Great Western II line that Pietta produces for EMF, one of the most respected names in Old West replica firearms.
