Pietta 1873 SAA 45 Colt 4.75" Barrel Case Hardened Frame Walnut Grip Pre War Revolver Century Arms

A beautiful reproduction of the famous Model 1873 Single Action 45 Colt revolver pre war model, this six-shooter is made from top quality steel and features a Oil finished Walnutt grip. This standard model has a color case hardened steel frame with a blued steel cylinder and 4.75" barrel.

New production in box. Made by the Italian company Pietta with warranty service provided in the USA by Century Arms in Vermont.

In my opinion these Pietta revolvers are on par with the current production Uberti 1873 guns With the main difference of having a transfer bar safety on the Pietta which allows you to carry the gun safely with all 6 chambers loaded. The Uberti guns are excellent guns too but they have the firing pin mounted in the hammer and it is commonly not recommended to carry them with all 6 chambers loaded because the firing pin rest on a live round and can discharge if dropped. This Pietta has an extra safety which requires the trigger to be pulled fully before the transfer bar can allow the firing pin to move.
