Availability: In Stock
The Pietta 1873 GW2 Californian .357 Magnum revolver brings authentic Old West styling together with modern manufacturing precision. This 6-round single-action revolver splits the difference between nostalgia and reliability—it looks like a Colt from 1873, but it's built with drop-forged steel frames and hammer-forged barrels that are CNC machined for consistency and durability. The 4.75" barrel hits that classic proportions that work equally well for Cowboy Action Shooting, historical reenactment, or anyone who appreciates a traditional revolver that actually functions.
Where the GW2 sets itself apart from pure reproduction guns is in the details. Pietta equipped this .357 Magnum with a floating firing pin design—the correct mechanical setup from the original era—and casehardened the frame to match period-correct aesthetics. The wider rear sights and larger front sight are purposeful upgrades for faster target acquisition without betraying the classic lines. Walnut grips provide authentic appearance and a comfortable, proven grip profile.
This is a revolver for shooters who won't settle for either pure reproduction fragility or modern polymer blocky aesthetics. You get the look and feel of a piece of firearm history, paired with the manufacturing standards that mean you can actually count on it to function reliably, shot after shot. Whether you're building a Cowboy Action competition rig or you just want a .357 Magnum with character, the Pietta 1873 GW2 Californian delivers.
