There's a reason the 1873 single action never went out of style. The Traditions SAT73-004 brings that classic Peacemaker profile back with the long 7.5 inch cavalry-length barrel, deep blued steel on the barrel and cylinder, and a color case hardened frame that shows off those swirling blues and browns no two guns wear quite the same. Walnut grips round out the look, and the whole package is built by Pietta in Italy, a name that has earned real respect among single action fans for fit and finish.
This is part of Traditions' Frontier Series, their top-shelf line of 1873 reproductions, and the difference shows in the polish and finish work. The steel frame keeps it true to the original design, while the transfer bar safety is the one modern upgrade that matters most. Old-school single actions had to be carried with the hammer resting on an empty chamber. With the transfer bar, you can load all six rounds and the gun simply cannot fire unless the trigger is pulled all the way through. Owners consistently point to that as the feature that sets this one apart from more traditional setups.
The .45 Long Colt is the cartridge this frame was born with, and it's still a joy to shoot. Recoil is a gentle push rather than a snap, and the long sight radius from that 7.5 inch barrel makes the fixed blade front sight easier to work with than you'd expect. Cock the hammer, settle the blade, and press through a crisp single action trigger. It's a rhythm that never gets old, whether you're ringing steel, punching paper, or running a cowboy action stage.
For anyone who has wanted a proper Old West sixgun without hunting down a fragile original, this one delivers the character with everyday shootability. It looks right on the bench, feels right in the hand, and shoots the way an 1873 should.
Yes, and that's one of the biggest draws of this model. Unlike original-pattern single actions that need to be carried with the hammer on an empty chamber, the SAT73-004 uses a transfer bar safety system. The gun can only fire when the trigger is pulled fully to the rear, so a full cylinder of six is safe to carry.
It's manufactured by Pietta in Italy and imported by Traditions Performance Firearms. Pietta has been building single action reproductions for decades and has a solid reputation for quality fit, finish, and reliable lockwork at a fair price.
It's a natural fit. The 1873 pattern in .45 Long Colt is about as classic as it gets for SASS-style matches, and the steel frame, walnut grips, and case hardened finish check the period-correct boxes. The 7.5 inch barrel gives you a long sight radius, though some competitors prefer the shorter barrel versions for faster holster work.
No, this model wears traditional fixed sights, a blade up front with a groove in the topstrap serving as the rear. That's true to the original 1873 design. Most loads print close to point of aim, and shooters typically fine-tune by finding the ammo their particular gun likes best.
