The Pietta 1873 Great Western II Californian in .357 Magnum (MPN HF357CHS434NM) is a single-action revolver built with hammer-forged steel barrels and frames that are drop-forged and then CNC-machined for tight tolerances. Pietta equips the Californian with wider rear and larger front sights for faster target acquisition, a floating firing pin in the hammer just like the originals, and a case-hardened frame paired with a walnut grip and a 4.75-inch blued barrel. Among classic-styled six-guns in the revolvers category, the Californian favors cowboy-action shooters who want faster sight acquisition on an authentic single-action platform.
