Design and practical features

The PIETTA 1873 SA retains the classic single-action silhouette, making it intuitive to operate for shooters familiar with hammer-first mechanics. The included owner’s manual and original packaging are valuable for resale and collector value. Having two cylinders is a standout feature — one chambered for .45 Colt and the other for .45 ACP — giving the shooter flexibility without needing multiple firearms.

Caliber versatility: .45 Colt and .45 ACP

Understanding the two chambering options helps determine how you’ll use this revolver.

.45 Colt

.45 Colt offers substantial energy at moderate velocities, making it a strong option for those who value heavy bullet performance and the classic revolver experience. It’s well-suited to situations where stopping power and traditional ammunition are priorities.

.45 ACP

.45 ACP is a widely available defensive and range caliber with manageable recoil and a wealth of load options. In this revolver platform, the .45 ACP cylinder provides an economical way to put rounds downrange for training without sacrificing real-world defensive capability.

At a price of $522.49, the PIETTA 1873 SA represents a cost-effective entry into a historically styled revolver with modern convenience. The Certified Used designation reduces risk, and the included ‘no questions asked’ return policy adds an extra layer of buyer confidence. View product details and pricing
