Pietta Great Western II Premier Revolver
The Great Western II Premier represents a thoughtful evolution of the classic 1873 single-action revolver design. This is a firearm built on proven principles, executed with modern manufacturing precision.
Construction & Materials
Barrel & Frame: Hammer-forged steel barrel paired with a drop-forged frame, both CNC-machined for dimensional accuracy and consistency. This manufacturing approach delivers the strength and reliability demanded by serious shooters.
Finish: Case-hardened frame with blued barrel—a traditional combination that provides both durability and aesthetic appeal.
Design Features
- Floating Firing Pin: Housed in the hammer itself, just like the original design. This time-proven mechanism has served shooters reliably for generations.
- 6-Round Cylinder: Chambered in 45 Colt, a cartridge with proven stopping power and versatility.
- 4.75" Barrel: The classic length that balances sight radius, handling, and practical velocity.
Practical Considerations
This revolver suits cowboy action shooting, historical reenactment, hunting, and general sport shooting. The traditional single-action mechanism requires deliberate trigger control—a discipline that sharpens marksmanship fundamentals. The 45 Colt cartridge offers flexibility in handloading, allowing shooters to tailor performance to their specific needs.
A straightforward, honest revolver for those who appreciate mechanical simplicity and proven design.
