Pietta took the timeless 1873 Single Action Army pattern and chambered it in a cartridge that means business: the .44 Magnum. This is a proper full-size wheelgun with a 7.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, a smooth walnut grip, and a deep blued finish that looks every bit as good on the wall as it does on the range. Pietta has been reproducing authentic historical firearms out of Italy since the 1960s, and that attention to fit and finish shows up all over this gun.
The big thing here is the sights. Instead of the traditional fixed notch you find on most SAA clones, this Target model pairs a large ramp front sight with a fully adjustable rear target sight. That means you can dial it in for your specific load and distance, which is a real advantage when you're ringing steel or working up accurate loads in a cartridge as versatile as .44 Magnum. The unfluted six-round cylinder adds to the classic look and keeps plenty of steel around those magnum chambers.
The 7.5-inch barrel does two jobs at once. It gives you a long sight radius for better accuracy, and it helps wring more velocity out of the .44 Mag, which pays off whether you're target shooting or carrying it in the backcountry. A knurled hammer makes thumb-cocking easy even with gloves on, and a transfer bar safety lets you load all six chambers with confidence rather than the old five-and-an-empty routine.
The .44 Magnum has a reputation, and this single action handles it with the kind of heft and balance that soaks up recoil better than you'd expect. Single action revolvers of this type in this caliber have been genuinely hard to find in recent years, so this one fills a real gap for anyone who wants the cowboy-gun feel with serious power behind it. Between the walnut grips, the blued steel, and that tunable rear sight, it's a gun that earns its keep at the range and looks like a million bucks doing it.
The Target version uses a large ramp front sight paired with a fully adjustable rear sight instead of the traditional fixed notch. That lets you tune your point of impact for different loads and distances, which is a nice edge when you're shooting for groups. The rest of the gun keeps the classic 1873 Single Action Army styling.
Yes. This model is built with a transfer bar safety, which allows you to carry six rounds rather than the old five-with-an-empty-chamber method used on older single action designs. The transfer bar keeps the firing pin away from the primer until the trigger is pulled.
No, the 7.5-inch barrel is a standard cold hammer-forged barrel without threading. The cold hammer-forging process is known for producing a strong, accurate barrel, which suits the pressures of the .44 Magnum cartridge.
It's a strong all-around choice for range and target work thanks to the long 7.5-inch barrel and adjustable sights. The .44 Magnum chambering also makes it capable for backcountry carry or handgun hunting where a hard-hitting round matters. The heft of the full-size frame helps tame recoil better than a lighter gun.
