Pietta 1873 SA Frontier Model P .357 Mag Revolver, 5.5-Inch, Color Case-Hardened/Blue, Walnut Grip
This Italian-made Pietta 1873 SA Frontier Model P faithfully reproduces the classic Single Action Army profile while adding a Cimarron Cowboy Comp action tune for a lighter, smoother trigger pull. Chambered in .357 Magnum with a 5.5-inch barrel, it blends authentic 1873 details—such as the old-style cylinder base-pin screw—with modern carbon-steel construction and CIP proofing for safe use of smokeless ammunition.

What’s Included
- Soft case
The revolver is built on an old-model frame forged from carbon steel and finished with true bone-charcoal color case hardening, giving each gun its own unique mottled pattern. The barrel, cylinder, and small parts are blued for traditional two-tone appeal.
Pietta’s Frontier series pairs historical accuracy with practical improvements. The Cimarron Cowboy Comp program polishes internal surfaces and lightens springs, resulting in a crisp single-action trigger and smooth hammer throw right out of the box.
The 5.5-inch carbon-steel barrel uses a right-hand twist rifling that stabilizes .357 Magnum projectiles efficiently. Fixed sights—a blade front and integral rear notch—match the original service configuration of the 1870s.
A one-piece smooth walnut grip fills the hand and is compatible with standard Colt SAA holsters. The revolver’s CIP proof marks and “PIETTA – ITALY” roll mark verify modern proof testing and European manufacturing standards.
