Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Some single actions are built to blend in. The Gamblers Royale is not one of them. Pietta took its proven 1873 Great Western II platform and dressed it for a high-stakes card table, with Victorian scroll engraving flowing across the Ultra Black barrel and cylinder and a polished Old Silver steel frame providing the contrast. A one-piece black wood grip finishes the look. The whole package was inspired by the sharp-dressed gamblers of the frontier era, the Doc Holliday and Wild Bill types who carried engraved peacemakers under lavish suits.
Underneath the engraving, this is the same traditional single-action mechanism that has made the Great Western II line a favorite with cowboy action folks. The 4.75 inch barrel is the classic gunfighter length, quick out of a holster and well balanced in the hand. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it also happily digests .38 Special, which keeps ammo costs down and recoil mild when you just want to burn through a box on a Saturday. Six rounds in the cylinder, fixed sights, and a hammer that begs to be thumbed back. Simple, satisfying shooting the way it was done 150 years ago.
Pietta has been building reproduction revolvers in Italy for decades, and the Great Western II series is widely regarded as one of the better values in the 1873-pattern world. Fit and finish on the Gamblers Royale get extra attention because the two-tone treatment leaves nowhere for sloppy work to hide. At around 3.25 pounds with a 14.5 inch overall length, it carries and points like the original Single Action Army pattern it honors.
This one splits the difference between shooter and showpiece. Take it to cowboy action matches, bring it out for casual range sessions, or let it anchor a Western collection. Either way, it is the kind of revolver people walk over to ask about, and it backs up the looks with a caliber and platform that genuinely get used.
Yes. Like most revolvers chambered in .357 Magnum, it will safely fire .38 Special from the same cylinder. That gives you a softer-shooting, more affordable option for practice and cowboy action work, with full-power .357 loads available when you want them.
The Victorian scroll work is factory applied by Pietta rather than hand cut by a custom engraver, which is how it stays attainable for regular buyers. The pattern covers the Ultra Black barrel and cylinder and carries onto the polished steel frame for a consistent two-tone look.
It works fine for both. The Gamblers Royale is built on Pietta's Great Western II platform, a well-established 1873-pattern single action used in cowboy action matches all the time. The 4.75 inch barrel is a popular length for that game, so you can compete with it, plink with it, or keep it as a collection piece.
Mechanically it is the same proven single action. The difference is the presentation: full scroll engraving, the contrasting Ultra Black barrel and cylinder against a polished Old Silver frame, and the one-piece black wood grip. Standard GWII models typically wear plain blued or case hardened finishes with walnut grips.
