Pietta Model 1873 22LR

Recommended Posts

Heavy for what it is (small hole in .45 caliber capable barrel).   Most of them shoot as accurately as any other SAA clone revolver.  Not legal for SASS competition (due to 10 shot cylinder).  Pietta has a good reputation on recent production quality.  A far-forward trigger position makes it hard for folks with large hands to shoot.

 

Because of these limitations, one VERY rarely sees or hears of a Cowboy shooter buying one.

 

Good luck, GJ

I've owned one of those Piettas for awhile and like it a lot. Mine is convertible, .22LR and .22 mag. Very accurate and shoots to point of aim.

No mechanical problems with mine but one review online complained of a broken transfer bar. Maybe owner abuse?

You are getting a bargain for $209. Mine was $369 + tax at Cabelas a few years ago.

Let us know how you like it.
