The Pietta Great Western II General Patton in .357 Magnum is an engraved stainless steel single-action revolver with a 4.75-inch barrel (Pietta part no. GW357SSE434NMUI). The barrel, cylinder and frame are all stainless steel and carry factory laser engraving, set off by an Ultra Ivory grip. It is a showpiece of the Great Western II line, the single-action design Pietta builds for EMF with a floating firing pin in the hammer. With an exposed hammer and no manual safety, it handles like the Old West revolvers it recalls. It suits a collector or a shooter who wants a stainless single action that stands out on the firing line.
