Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The Buntline has one of the great backstories in Old West lore. The tale goes that dime novelist Ned Buntline had a handful of stretched-barrel Single Action Army revolvers made up and handed one to Wyatt Earp himself. Historians have never found proof the story is true, but the legend took on a life of its own, and the extra-long SAA became an icon anyway. Chiappa's 1873-22 Buntline lets you live that legend without burning through expensive centerfire ammo, pairing the classic 1873 profile with a full 12 inch barrel and the dirt-cheap .22 LR cartridge.
The build is a smart mix of old looks and modern manufacturing. An alloy frame keeps the whole revolver around 2.8 pounds even with that long tube out front, while the steel-lined cylinder and steel barrel handle the wear where it matters. The 12 inch barrel stretches the sight radius way out, and since the fixed front sight pairs with a rear that adjusts for both windage and elevation, you can dial it in for your favorite bulk ammo and keep tin cans hopping all afternoon. The hammer offers a traditional half-cock position for loading through the gate, just like the originals.
A rimfire single action is one of the best teaching tools there is. The deliberate cock-the-hammer, press-the-trigger rhythm slows new shooters down and builds solid fundamentals, and the soft-shooting .22 LR keeps the experience fun instead of punishing. With six rounds on tap and a 16.9 inch overall length, this one works for plinking, target practice, and small game duty alike. Cowboy fans, rimfire collectors, and anyone who grew up on westerns will find plenty to like here, and the ammo budget stays friendly enough that you'll shoot it a lot more than you planned.
No, this model (340.241) is a dedicated .22 LR revolver with a single 6-shot cylinder. Chiappa does offer a separate dual-cylinder Buntline that ships with both .22 LR and .22 WMR cylinders, so double-check the part number if that's what you're after.
Yes. The front sight is fixed, but the rear sight adjusts for both windage and elevation. That's a real advantage over the fixed hog-wallow sights on traditional single actions, since you can zero it for whatever bulk .22 ammo your gun likes best.
It comes in around 2.8 pounds, which is surprisingly manageable for a revolver with a foot-long barrel. The alloy frame keeps the weight down while the steel barrel and steel-lined cylinder handle the parts that take the wear. The long barrel actually helps steady your hold on target.
It loads the traditional way, through a loading gate on the right side of the frame with the hammer set at half cock. You rotate the cylinder by hand to line up each chamber, and empties are pushed out one at a time with the ejector rod under the barrel. It's the same routine as an original Single Action Army, which is a big part of the charm.
