The Pietta Gwii Deadman's Hand .45 LC revolver is a historically inspired single-action sixgun built for shooters who appreciate Old West character and genuine craftsmanship. Chambered in .45 Colt with a 4.75-inch barrel, this revolver channels the legend of Wild Bill Hickok's final hand—aces and eights—through its iconic white grips and period-correct aesthetics. Whether you're a Cowboy Action shooter, a collector of classic revolvers, or someone drawn to frontier-era firearms, the Gwii Deadman's Hand delivers both soul and shooting capability.
Every detail on this revolver tells a story. The frame features photo-engraved color case-hardening that catches light with deep blues, purples, and golds—a hallmark of quality single-actions from the 1870s and 1880s. The blued barrel and cylinder carry matching engraving work, while a brass backstrap and triggerguard round out the authentic fit and feel. Those white grips aren't just period dressing; they're comfortable in hand and instantly recognizable as part of the Deadman's Hand legend.
Built by Pietta USA, a maker with deep roots in single-action revolver manufacturing, this gun is designed to handle real shooting—not just display. The .45 LC cartridge offers proven stopping power and wide availability in both cowboy and modern loadings, making it practical for range sessions, SASS competitions, or backcountry carry in hunting country. If you want a revolver with genuine historical resonance and the build quality to back it up, the Gwii Deadman's Hand is hard to beat.
