8" Blued Steel Barrel & Cylinder for Superior Ballistics
Featuring a full-length 8-inch blued steel barrel, this revolver provides exceptional accuracy and consistent shot performance. The long sight radius and smooth bore help deliver tight groupings whether firing on the range or reenacting historical battles.
The durable blued steel cylinder is corrosion-resistant and engineered for smooth rotation, enhancing the revolver’s reliability and mechanical longevity. Each chamber is carefully machined for precise ignition and dependable performance.
Stunning Color Case Hardened Frame
One of the defining features of this Pietta masterpiece is its color case hardened frame, showcasing vibrant blues, purples, and bronze tones unique to each firearm. This finishing method not only adds breathtaking beauty but strengthens the steel surface for enhanced durability.
The case-hardened frame faithfully reflects 19th-century craftsmanship, giving the revolver an Old West authenticity that collectors truly appreciate.
Authentic Walnut Grip for Comfort & Control
The walnut grip is ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in the hand while providing a warm, traditional appearance. Walnut has long been prized for its balance of durability and elegance, and Pietta’s hand-polished finish brings out the natural grain and rich tones of the wood.
This grip ensures excellent control when firing, contributing to the revolver’s impressive handling and feel.
Six-Shot .44 Caliber Power
Built with a 6-round cylinder, the Pietta 1860 Army chambered in .44 caliber delivers the power and performance that made the original a battlefield favorite. Known for its increased stopping power over earlier .36-caliber designs, the .44 Army revolver became the standard sidearm for Union cavalry and officers during the Civil War.
Whether for reenactments, target shooting, or collection display, this revolver offers authentic firepower that stays true to its historical roots.
Faithful Reproduction With Modern Reliability
While the 1860 Army remains visually and mechanically faithful to the original design, Pietta integrates modern machining techniques to ensure safety, reliability, and consistency.
