The Pietta Great Western II Deluxe Grande Californian is a single-action revolver chambered in .45 Colt with a 4.75" barrel. The barrel and cylinder are blued, engraved steel, so the dark finish and scroll work carry across the parts that hold the cartridges. The cylinder holds 6 rounds, giving you a full six-shot load before you reload. Single-action-only operation with an exposed hammer means you cock the hammer for each shot, a deliberate, traditional way to shoot.

The alloy steel frame is color case hardened and engraved, which sets its colors apart from the blued barrel and cylinder. Deep laser scroll engraving decorates the revolver, so the gun is as much about looks as shooting. The checkered walnut grip is cut with a fleur-de-lis pattern, and the checkering gives your hand some texture to hold. Fixed sights keep the sight picture simple, with nothing to adjust.
