The Pietta Shootist Tribute in .357 Magnum (brand part no. GW357LEB434NMUI) pays homage to the Great Western guns John Wayne carried in his final film, The Shootist, recreating the single-action revolvers Great Western Arms Company originally presented to him. Pietta laser-engraves the all-blued barrel and cylinder and pairs it with one-piece ultra ivory grips, whose stark-to-off-white coloration will shift over time just as genuine aged ivory does, giving the engraving added contrast. The 4.75-inch barrel keeps the classic single-action profile intact. Among tribute single-actions in the revolvers category, the Shootist Tribute favors collectors and Western film enthusiasts who want a faithful recreation of a screen-used design.
