Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There is something about an 1873 pattern single action that never gets old, and the Traditions 1873 Frontier nails the look and feel of the original. This one wears a color case hardened steel frame with those swirling blues and browns that make every gun a little different from the next, paired with a deep blued 4.75 inch barrel and cylinder plus smooth walnut grips. It is built by Pietta in Italy, a shop that has been turning out quality reproduction revolvers for decades, so the fit and finish hold up under a close look.
Chambering matters on a gun you plan to shoot a lot, and .357 Magnum is one of the most practical choices in the whole Frontier lineup. You can run full power magnum loads when you want some thump, then drop in mild .38 Special for cheap, easy afternoons of plinking or a full day of cowboy action matches without beating up your hand or your wallet. Six rounds in the cylinder, fixed sights, and that classic plow handle grip shape that rolls naturally in the hand under recoil round out the package.
While it looks like it walked straight out of 1873, this revolver carries a transfer bar safety system inside. That means the hammer cannot reach the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled, so you get an added layer of security the originals never offered. The steel frame construction keeps it solid through years of regular use.
At 10.5 inches overall with the 4.75 inch barrel, this is the classic gunfighter length, quick out of a leather holster and well balanced on the draw. It is a natural for cowboy action shooting, a great trail and range companion, and frankly it earns its keep just sitting in the safe looking good. If you have been wanting a proper single action Army style revolver without a premium price tag, this one delivers the goods.
Yes. Since .38 Special is a shorter cartridge with the same bullet diameter, it runs just fine in this .357 Magnum cylinder. That makes practice sessions a lot cheaper and softer on the hands, and it is why so many cowboy action competitors pick this chambering.
These are manufactured by Pietta in Italy and imported by Traditions Performance Firearms. Pietta has built reproduction revolvers for decades and has a solid reputation for fit, finish, and reliable lockwork on their 1873 pattern guns.
It does. The transfer bar sits between the hammer and firing pin and only allows the gun to fire when the trigger is fully pulled. That gives you a modern layer of protection the original 1873 design never had, all without changing the classic look or the feel of the action.
It is one of the most popular lengths for the game. The 4.75 inch barrel clears leather quickly and balances well in the hand, which is why it was the classic gunfighter configuration back in the day. It also makes the revolver handy enough for general range use and trail carry.
