The Pietta Great Western II Premier is one of the closest things you'll find to a genuine Colt 1873 Single Action Army without hunting down a vintage original. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it pairs a 5.5-inch blued steel barrel and matching cylinder with a color case-hardened alloy steel frame that shows off Pietta's signature swirls of blue, brown, and purple. The checkered walnut grips round out a package that looks the part on the range, in the holster, or in a display case.
This is a true single action, so you cock the hammer for each shot the same way shooters did back in the cowboy era. The GWII line is period correct with a floating firing pin housed in the hammer rather than a modern transfer bar, which keeps the authentic feel intact. It carries six rounds and uses a fixed blade front sight paired with a frame-notch rear, the traditional setup that single action fans know well. The CNC-machined, drop-forged frame is a real step up in durability over the cast frames found on many old-school guns.
One of the best parts about this chambering is flexibility. You can run full-power .357 Magnum loads, then switch to .38 Special for lighter recoil and cheaper range sessions. That makes the Premier a natural fit for plinking, cowboy action matches, weekend target work, or trail use where you want a dependable sidearm.
Pietta has earned a strong reputation among single action enthusiasts and cowboy action competitors who praise the fit, finish, and smooth lockup these revolvers deliver. The 5.5-inch barrel strikes a nice balance between pointability and sight radius, giving you a gun that handles well and carries easy. For anyone who appreciates classic Old West styling backed by modern manufacturing, this one delivers the goods.
Yes. Because it is chambered in .357 Magnum, it will safely fire .38 Special as well. That gives you full-power magnum loads when you want them and softer, more affordable .38 Special for range time. Keep in mind that shooting a lot of shorter .38 cases can leave a carbon ring in the chambers, so a good cleaning keeps your .357 rounds seating smoothly.
It's a true single action revolver built on the classic 1873 pattern. You manually cock the hammer before each shot, just like the original Colt Peacemaker it's modeled after. This is a big part of the appeal for cowboy action shooters and traditionalists.
These revolvers are manufactured in Italy by FAP F.LLI Pietta for EMF Company. Pietta has a well-earned reputation among single action fans for tight lockup, clean finishes, and reliable function that competes well with other 1873 reproductions.
This version features a deep-blued 5.5-inch barrel and matching blued cylinder set against a color case-hardened alloy steel frame, finished off with checkered walnut grips. The 5.5-inch barrel offers a good balance of handling and sight radius, and like the rest of the GWII line it uses a period-correct floating firing pin in the hammer.
