Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There is something about a Colt-pattern single action that never gets old, and Pietta leaned into it hard with this one. The 1873 US Marshal is built on the Great Western II platform as a tribute to the lawmen who kept order in places like Deadwood and Tombstone, and the details show it. The one-piece walnut grip carries a branded US Marshal badge, the frame wears Pietta's color case-hardening with those deep blues, browns, and purples, and the backstrap and trigger guard are polished brass. Set that against the blued 4.75 inch barrel and cylinder and you have a revolver that looks the part before you ever load it.
The real trick with this US Marshal combo is the second cylinder. The primary cylinder handles .357 Magnum and will also run .38 Special, while the included 9mm Luger cylinder lets you burn through the cheapest centerfire ammo on the shelf. Swapping cylinders on an 1873 pattern takes seconds, so you can practice all afternoon with 9mm and save the magnums for when you want the full experience. Six rounds either way, with a fixed blade front sight and traditional notch rear that keep the sight picture simple and period correct.
Don't let the old-school looks fool you into thinking this is a wall hanger. The Great Western II line uses CNC-machined, drop-forged steel frames and hammer-forged barrels, which is a genuine step up from the cast frames found on a lot of reproduction single actions. It stays true to the originals too, with an exposed hammer and floating firing pin rather than a transfer bar. Owners consistently mention tight lockup, clean engraving, and a finish that punches above its price class.
Whether you shoot cowboy action matches, collect Old West pieces, or just want a six-gun that feels like a piece of history with modern ammo flexibility, this Marshal earns its badge. It is the kind of revolver that ends up getting passed down, not traded in.
Yes. The .357 Magnum cylinder will also chamber and fire .38 Special, since it is the shorter parent cartridge. Between that and the included 9mm cylinder, you have three caliber options in one revolver, which keeps range days cheap and flexible.
No moon clips required. The 9mm cylinder headspaces the rounds on the case mouth, and you eject the empties one at a time with the ejector rod just like the .357 rounds. Load, shoot, and punch them out the same way you would on any 1873 pattern single action.
No, this model stays true to the original Colt design with a floating firing pin in the hammer rather than a transfer bar. Because of that, the traditional practice is to load five rounds and rest the hammer on an empty chamber. It is a small habit that has been standard with this style of revolver for well over a century.
Absolutely. The Great Western II series is a popular choice in cowboy action circles thanks to its drop-forged frame, hammer-forged barrel, and faithful 1873 handling. The 4.75 inch barrel is a classic match length, and the ability to run soft-shooting .38 Special loads makes it easy on your hands during long stages.
