Pietta Model 1873 Revolver Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Great Looking revolver

Had my eye on this little beauty for some time now and finally decided to live a little and get it. I have NO NEED for it, mind you, but I have been WANTING it for a long, long time.

not a good value

I thought this Pietta would be a good value. Not so. I could not fire a complete cylinder - six shots - without a misfire. I contacted EMF via email and received a stern reply and a return authorization number, but not a shipping label. It cost me 25% of

Dont Buy This

I fired one shot and the transfer bar broke. There are other reviews that mention the same problem. These guns are junk. DO NOT BUY!!!

Very good quality for the money

I purchased two Heritage arms SA .22 revolvers and was surprised at the quality of the revolvers for the amount of money being asked for the firearms. I was not expecting a lot when I ordered them but upon receiving them I was surprised at the quality of

Excellent 44 mag

Very good product from Pietta for the 44 mag with 240 grain bullets. Feels great even with factory loads with serious recoil. Prefer reloaded rounds with starting loads of Unique Gun powder and shoots a little low. Possibly better for point of aim with 18

Big time transfer bar issues

First, the good news. Pietta's guns come with a great warranty and superb customer service. If you have an issue, contact EMF in California. They're Pietta's American gun smiths at. info@emf-company.com. Now the bad news. Unlike other Pietta guns I've own

Pietta 1873 -sa Revolver

I order the gun on line picked it up when I home I was looking at the gun i can see some small holes where the brass on the trigger hosing is can"t return the gun and can not seem to fined how to get a hold of pietta pore workmanship and don"t k

Rough and crude

Terrible trigger with creep, grittiness, and a ledge at the end of travel. During cleaning and function test, the cylinder would over travel about 3 out of 10 t!!miss. The bolt releases at the right time, but sometimes doesn't lock the cylinder. I've owne

Transfer Bar Disconnected less than a week

This revolver is very poor quality. I purchased it 5 days ago, went to the range to shoot 50 rounds of 38 SP next day, then the transfer bar disconnected when I practiced dry fire yesterday.

Very good but...

Really do like this pistol!! Good feel, very accurate, good action. At 30' 5 out of 6 in 2" circle. #6 missed by 1/2". Only trouble I have is the tight space for finger and trigger. This is going to take some getting used to.

Excellent CAS Revolver

Ordered online thru local Cabelas and received notice next day it was in. Great in-store customer service to buy pistol. Awesome weapon! Shoots, handles, feels, looks authentic. I even carry it time to time concealed for personal protection. Great value f

Absolutely beautiful

It compares favorably to Colt SAAs that I have owned. The grip is great for someone like me with large paws. It is very comfortable. I would not be reluctant to use it as a home defense weapon.

trigger guard slap

Feb. 2017 I bought the 45 LC case hardened model the fit and finish is very good for a gun of this price, much better than I expected. However using a mid range handload @ 1000 fps you will experience a good deal of trigger guard slap and after a a dozen

Pietta 1873

I just recently retired and wanted to get something classic for myself. I discovered the Pietta 1873. I got 1 at Cabelas at Lubbock. The salespeople couldn't have been more helpful, great experience and even better gun. I got the nickel 5.5" in 45 co

Top Gun For The Money!

I bought the basic Matte Finish Pietta .357 Magnum with the 4.75 inch barrel. Like the paperwork mentions, it does shoot a little low and you can file the sight down a little to suit you. I left mine alone and learned to compensate and it works great. Thi

Quality 1873 model revolver, just one caveat...

Got the basic 5½" model in 45 Colt, which has great handling, balance, feel, and looks, just like an original Colt, and most of all, shoots accurately! The only downside (one that doesn't seem too widespread, so looks like it was soon fixed by Pietta

44 all the way

Hey Yall,I love this gun, it has kick and power yet its quite accurate and very fun to shoot. This was my first SAA I ever owned and I honestly think I will be buying SA from now on, it adds a whole new element to the experience that with most modern guns

Great gun

This is my first single action pistol, and i couldnt be more happy with it. I bought the nickle plated 357 mag and have had no problems after 200 rounds of 357 or 38 special. Sights were right on and its very accurate.

.45L Octagonal Barrel, 5.5 Barrel

This is a great gun. First shot that I made hit the target, straight out of the box. I have sight in only my left eye and had no problem hitting the target. Was able to out shoot my two son's on Fathers Day. My son has the 45L Vaquero and I feel that my P

.357

I purchased this gun in .357 and probably shoot as many .38 special as I do .357 through it. It is a nice throw back to days gone by. Shoots well and I am reasonably accurate with it. The gun is probably more accurate and repeatable than I am. I like the

Pietta 44 Mag

I bought the 4 3/4", case hardened 44 Mag. Beautiful gun. I wanted something handy for a woods gun. I dislike long barrels on my handguns, as that's why I have rifles. This one fits the bill perfectly. It shoots low like everyone points out, but that

Great value Cowboy revolver

Bought a pair of these in .357 about a year ago to get started in Cowboy Action shooting. Shot about 6 to 7 inches low out of the box, but that was easily fixed by filing down the front sight. This adjustment had the added benefit of making them easier to

Very Pleasant surprise

I recently Bought the Nickle .45 Colt. While there are some finish flaws,the mechanics far out weight them.They have even used a bridged base pin,coil spring for cyl. hand instead of the unreliable flat spring. Timing is spot on. Usually with Uberti i had

Good Gun.

I bought a 4 3/4 barrel length 1873 SA in .44 Mag. The fit and finish is super. Pietta makes a fine Colt style firearm. This pistol has the Colt action (cylinder is locked unless the hammer is at half cock where the cylinder is released and spins freely t

great gun

I have never had or shot a saa type gun before and after buying and shooting this one I wish I had bought one a long time ago. it is a fun firearm to shoot,it's accurate. I got the 357 mag model and shooting the 38spl is nothing even my 7 year old can sho

.44 Equalizer

I was pleasantly surprised to find a traditional reproduction Peacemaker in .44 Rem. Magnum, as those cartridges are hotter than hells half acre, and require a substantial amount of gun to hold the pressure. With a 4 3/4" barrel, the recoil of this h

Love My Pietta Revolver

I had this revolver on my wish list for over a year and when I finally got it I wasn't disappointed! I got the .357 and it's a fun little gun to shoot and build up my confidence when shooting .38's yet can give me the power when I want it with the .357. I

Excellent buy for the $$$

I bought this gun to add to my collection of SAA’s to use as a dedicated black powder revolver, and I find it to be well worth the money spent. The timing is excellent and overall the action is very smooth, and unlike others who have written, I find my re

good, reliable, accurate..

i got this gun about a week ago, it functions flawlessly when firing and i was able to take my .45 lc version out and in the first shot take a small branch off of a bush. the function and accuracy is great the problems i have is the finish seems cheap and

PIETTA 45lc 1873

After purchasing the PIETTA 45lc and cleaning I have shot more than 500 rounds threw it... 25 yards very tight group but low and left always. I do my own reloads and was able to get better grouping. I would recommend this to other people

Pietta 1873 SSA

After shooting at the range, one of several hand loads shot settled in at about a 1.25" group at 25 yards, which I was really happy with. The point of impact in relation to point of aim was aprrox. 7" low, and 4" left. The revolver function

Great Value

I bought the .357 version. As with other reviews, it shoots low. Otherwise, fit and finish is outstanding. Great value for the money.

good, accurate shooter

Firing pin seems to hang when working action once in a while, never (so far) when shooting. Great s.s.a. replica, very accurate, cleans up great, fun gun.

Pietta 45

Nice piece.. I read some reviews were people complain about it shooting low. Mine was no exception.. took a file to the front site and dialed it rite in. Now it's on the mark. The only other thing found was the pin the cylinder rotates on was to tight, so
