Pietta 1858 Sheriff Blackpowder Revolver

Some guns get shot. Some get handed down. The old designs earned their place the hard way.

Modern pistols are built to be replaced, and this pattern was built to keep working.

Solid Where It Counts: The solid-frame design ties the steel frame, barrel, and cylinder into one rigid unit. It feels locked up in the hand, shot after shot.

Short Barrel, Quick Handling: The 5.5 inch octagon barrel comes up fast. You thumb the hammer, level the fixed sights, and the .44 answers in a roll of white smoke.

Six Before You Reload: A 6-shot cylinder gives you a full string at the range. Load with care, then shoot at your own pace.

Looks The Part: Blued steel, a brass trigger guard, and a walnut grip, made in Italy by Pietta. It carries the lines of the original without asking for attention.

Room To Grow: Compatible centerfire conversion cylinders are sold separately. The gun you start with is not the only gun it can be.

Slow down, load it right, and shoot it the way it was meant to be shot.
