The Pistolero series delivers the classic 1873 single-action format in a full-size package. Built by F.lli Pietta in Italy, this revolver is chambered in .45 Colt and uses a traditional single-action-only mechanism with an exposed hammer and a six-shot fluted cylinder.
The 4.75 inch barrel offers a balanced, easy-handling length. Sights are fixed, with a blade front and a notch in the top strap, providing a period-correct sight picture consistent with the 1873 pattern.
The bright nickel finish extends across the frame, receiver, and cylinder, pairing cleanly with the smooth hardwood plow-handle grips. A round, knurled bullseye (button) ejector-rod head completes the classic configuration and assists in positive case extraction.
Authentic-style markings are present, including the two-line 1871/1872 patent-date marking on the frame and the barrel rollmark reading "PISTOLERO .45 COLT." The barrel top carries the Cimarron Firearms Co., Fredericksburg, Texas address, alongside Italian proof and inspection marks.
The Italian date code "CU" denotes a 2019 proof year, aligning with the listed year of manufacture. Factory configuration corresponds to mfg part number PPP45N for the Pistolero .45 Colt with 4.75 inch barrel. Made in Italy.
