The Pietta Great Western II Californian is a revolver chambered in 44-40 Win with a 4.75" blued steel barrel. Its blued cylinder holds 6 rounds, so you get a full cylinder before you need to reload. The SAO action is paired with an exposed hammer that sits within easy reach of your thumb. The maker says it follows the original Colt pattern, including the "4-click" hammer.

The frame is color case hardened alloy steel, which contrasts with the blued barrel and cylinder. Solid walnut grips give the revolver the traditional wood look of the original design. Barrel and cylinder share a blued finish, so the steel parts look uniform from muzzle to cylinder.
