Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

A single action sixgun chambered in 38 Super is a rare bird, and that's a big part of the appeal here. Pietta took its proven 1873 pattern, the same Colt-inspired platform the Italian maker has been refining for decades, and built it around a flat shooting cartridge with more zip than a standard 9mm. The result is a wheelgun with old West bones and a distinctly modern personality. If you already run a 1911 in 38 Super, having a revolver that feeds from the same ammo shelf is a nice bonus.
Instead of the usual case hardened colors and walnut, this one goes full murdered out. The steel frame and barrel wear a matte black finish from muzzle to backstrap, and the black checkered grip keeps the theme going while giving your hand real texture to work with. The 3.5 inch barrel trims the classic Peacemaker profile down to something quick out of a holster and easy to carry on a belt all day, whether that's around the ranch, at the range, or on a weekend camping trip.
Operation is pure 1873. Thumb the hammer back, feel those familiar clicks, and press a crisp single action trigger. Rounds load one at a time through the gate on the right side of the frame, and the spring loaded ejector rod under the barrel punches out the short 38 Super cases with almost no effort. Sights are the traditional fixed setup, a blade up front and a notch cut into the top strap, which keeps the lines clean and true to the original design.
Recoil with 38 Super in a steel frame revolver is mild and pleasant, so long practice sessions won't beat you up. For collectors, cowboy gun fans, and anyone who wants a six shooter that stands out from the sea of 45 Colts and 357s on the rack, this Pietta scratches an itch few other revolvers can.
No moon clips required. The cylinder is chambered so the 38 Super case headspaces correctly on its own, letting you load rounds through the side gate just like any traditional single action. Spent cases kick out easily with the ejector rod under the barrel.
No. Despite the similar names, 38 Special and 38 Super are different cartridges with different case dimensions and pressures. Stick with ammunition marked 38 Super Auto and follow the guidance in the owner's manual for anything else.
The 38 Super is a flat shooting round that delivers more velocity than standard 9mm while staying pleasant to shoot in a steel frame gun. It has a loyal following among 1911 fans and competition folks, so pairing one of those pistols with this revolver means one ammo supply covers both. It also makes this 1873 a genuine conversation piece, since single actions in this chambering are hard to find.
It's genuinely handy. The shorter barrel clears leather faster and carries more comfortably on a belt than the traditional 4.75 or 5.5 inch lengths, which is why shorter Peacemaker patterns have always been popular as working guns. You still get plenty of sight radius for range work and plinking at normal handgun distances.
