Pietta Great Western II Alchimista I 357 Mag 5.5" 6rd Revolver

The Pietta Great Western II Alchimista I came out of cowboy action competition. Its designer, Alessandro, built it around his love of SASS and his own needs on the clock, then made it for every SASS shooter. He started with the original 1873 Colt Single Action and paired it with the 1860 Army grip frame, and the Alchimista was born. This one is chambered in 357 Magnum with a six shot cylinder and a 5.5" barrel.

The trigger is wider than standard and set further back, a competition trigger meant for speed. The barrel and cylinder are blued steel, the alloy steel frame is color case hardened, and the grips are fine checkered walnut. Pietta fits a steel backstrap and a brass trigger guard, and the hammer is exposed. There is no manual safety. If you shoot a SASS match and want a revolver set up for it right out of the box, the Alchimista was built with you in mind.
