Pietta Great Western II Premier 44-40 Win 7.5" 6rd Revolver

Pietta's Great Western II Premier follows the lines of the original 1873 Colt single action, and this model pairs the long 7.5 inch barrel with the 44-40 Win cartridge. Barrel and six shot cylinder are blued steel. The alloy steel frame is color case hardened using bone and charcoal, the old method, rather than a chemical process. An exposed hammer and checkered walnut grips finish the classic profile.

The Premier is the dressed up model of the Great Western II line, and the details show it. Each hardwood grip is carefully checkered and fitted, the screws, cylinder pin and ejector knob are nitride blued, and a member of the Pietta family personally checks every revolver before it goes out. The 7.5 inch barrel puts a little more weight out front, which helps the gun hang steady when you are working through a string of targets. Chambered in 44-40, it suits shooters who want a period correct revolver for cowboy action or simply a well made single action for the collection.
