Every so often a revolver comes along that stops people at the counter, and the Pietta Keeper of the Plains is one of them. Built as a tribute to the Plains Indians, this single action wears a deep Ultra Black finish covered in extensive gold engraving, with quotes from Sitting Bull running along the barrel sides. The grips carry a gold eagle feather design against that same black backdrop, and the whole package comes together in a way that photos really don't do justice. It's the kind of piece that works just as well in a display case as it does in a holster.
Underneath the artwork is the proven 1873 single action platform Pietta has been refining for decades. The Italian maker earned its reputation building faithful Colt Single Action Army reproductions, and their craftsmanship took Best Gun of the Year honors from the Single Action Shooting Society back in 2002. This one is chambered in .357 Magnum with a six shot cylinder and a 4.75 inch barrel, the classic gunfighter length that balances nicely in the hand and clears leather quick. Since it's a .357, you can also run softer shooting .38 Special loads for relaxed afternoons of plinking or cowboy action work, then step up to full house magnums when you want some thump.
Plenty of engraved revolvers feel like safe queens the moment you pick them up. This one doesn't. Pietta builds these with modern manufacturing behind the old world looks, so the action is smooth, the lockup is solid, and it's meant to be shot. Whether you're a collector drawn to the tribute theme, a single action fan who wants something with real character, or someone looking for a meaningful gift that will get handed down, the Keeper of the Plains delivers on both fronts. Distributed through EMF, Pietta's longtime American import partner, it's a fresh addition to the catalog that's already turning heads.
Yes. Like any revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, it will also safely fire .38 Special ammunition. That makes it easy to keep range days affordable and recoil mild, then load full power .357 Magnum when you want more punch.
The model is a tribute to the Plains Indians. It features extensive gold engraving over the Ultra Black finish, quotes from Sitting Bull along the barrel sides, and a gold eagle feather motif on the grips. It's one of the more distinctive themed single actions Pietta has released.
The Keeper of the Plains is a single action built on the classic 1873 pattern, so you cock the hammer manually for each shot. It's the same style of operation as the original Colt Single Action Army, which is a big part of the appeal for cowboy action and traditional revolver fans.
It's manufactured in Italy by F.lli Pietta, a family company building historically accurate revolvers since 1960. Pietta's single actions come to the U.S. through EMF, their longtime American import partner, and this model is distributed through Sports South dealers.
