The Pietta 1873 Great Western II Alchimista II .45 Colt blends classic Old West styling with thoughtful competition-focused upgrades. This single-action revolver pairs a 5.50" blued steel barrel and cylinder with a color case hardened steel frame, delivering a traditional look and smooth, consistent performance. Its distinctive 1860 Army-style grip frame with checkered walnut Army grip offers a secure, natural point of aim, while the exposed hammer and wider, set-back competition trigger support confident, deliberate shooting. Ideal for cowboy action competition, range use, and general recreational shooting, the Alchimista II provides the familiar feel of a traditional six-shot .45 Colt with modern manufacturing quality. The longer, slimmer grip helps many shooters manage recoil and maintain control through fast strings of fire, and the simple blade front sight keeps the sight picture clean and intuitive. This revolver reflects Pietta’s reputation for well-finished, reliable recreations of classic frontier handguns. Key Features:
