The Colt 1873 Single Action Army silhouette remains one of the most recognizable revolver profiles in shooting and collecting circles. Its balance of ergonomics, simplicity and historical presence makes it a natural choice for shooters who value authenticity and mechanical reliability.
PIETTA 1873 Gen II
Design, Build and Key Features
This PIETTA 1873 Gen II is an unfired, used piece offered complete in its original box. As a classic single-action revolver, it replicates the feel and operation of the original 19th century design while using commonly available modern ammunition in .45 Long Colt. The 4.75 inch octagon barrel is a standout detail: octagon barrels are faithful to period-correct styling and often produce a slightly different balance and sight plane compared to round barrels, appreciated by collectors and period shooters alike.
Why the .45 Long Colt Matters
The .45 LC is a historically significant cartridge with proven performance across cowboy action, recreational shooting, and heritage collections. It offers manageable recoil in a full-frame single-action revolver and provides reliable function with a wide variety of ammunition loads. For handloaders and shooters who value authenticity, the .45 LC is a natural fit for a 1873-style revolver.
