The Pietta Great Western II Deluxe Californian is a single-action revolver chambered in .45 Long Colt with a 6-round cylinder. Its 4.75" barrel is hammer forged and finished in black, and the steel cylinder carries the same black finish. The single action only operation and exposed hammer mean you cock the hammer before each shot, the traditional way a single-action revolver is run. The firing pin floats in the hammer rather than being fixed to the frame.

The alloy steel frame is color case hardened, which gives the revolver a two-tone look against the black barrel and cylinder. Checkered grips add texture where your hand wraps the gun. Fixed sights with a wider, larger front blade help you pick up the sight picture quickly. Pietta built it as a step up from the original Californian, adding the case hardened frame and checkered grip while keeping the same functionality.
