Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There's something about a single action that never gets old. The slow, deliberate hammer cock, the crisp break, the plow-handle grip rolling in your hand. The Chiappa 1873 SAA gives you all of that character in a rimfire package that costs pennies per trigger pull to feed. Styled after the legendary 1873 Single Action Army, it keeps the traditional lines and manual half-cock loading gate operation, but chambers it all in the most affordable ammo on the shelf.
This model ships with dual cylinders, one for .22 LR and one for .22 WMR. Run cheap bulk-pack LR for lazy afternoons of tin cans and steel plates, then drop in the Magnum cylinder when you want extra punch for rabbits, squirrels, or pests around the property. Swapping cylinders takes just a moment, and it effectively gives you two revolvers in one box.
Chiappa keeps the weight and cost down with an alloy frame while using a rifled steel barrel where it counts. The 4.75 inch barrel matches the classic gunfighter length, and the whole package comes in around 2.2 pounds with a 10.25 inch overall length, so it balances nicely and won't wear out smaller-framed folks during long range sessions. The matte blued finish and black grips give it a clean, no-nonsense look, and the fixed blade front sight with notch rear keeps things simple and snag-free.
This is one of those guns that earns its keep in a lot of roles. It's a fantastic trainer for anyone learning revolver fundamentals, since the single-action-only operation forces good habits, one deliberate shot at a time. It's a fun gun for cowboy fans who want the Old West experience without centerfire ammo costs. And with the Magnum cylinder installed, it pulls light field duty just fine. Simple, affordable, and full of character, the Chiappa 1873 SAA is the kind of revolver that ends up in the range bag more often than you'd expect.
The revolver ships with two separate cylinders, one chambered for .22 LR and one for .22 WMR. You remove the cylinder base pin, swap in the other cylinder, and reinsert the pin. It takes well under a minute once you've done it a couple of times, and no tools are required.
It's a great learning platform. The single-action-only design means the hammer must be cocked manually for every shot, which naturally slows things down and builds solid fundamentals. Combined with mild rimfire recoil and cheap ammo, it's one of the easiest ways to get comfortable with revolvers.
Yes, it operates the classic way. You load and unload one round at a time through the loading gate on the right side of the frame, rotating the cylinder as you go, and the ejector rod pushes out spent cases. It's part of the charm and stays true to the original 1873 design.
It shines as a plinker and trainer, where the low cost of .22 LR lets you shoot all afternoon. With the .22 WMR cylinder installed, it also handles small-game hunting and pest control duties nicely. Fans of cowboy-style revolvers like it as an affordable way to enjoy the single-action experience.
