Detailed Review
Traditions 1873 is a line of single-action revolvers that are designed to replicate the classic guns from the Old West era. These revolvers are manufactured by Pietta, an Italian gun maker with a reputation for producing high-quality firearms.
The Traditions 1873 series offers a wide range of options for shooters, with various barrel lengths and finishes to choose from. The revolvers are available in .45 Long Colt caliber, which was the cartridge used by the U.S. Army in the late 1800s.
One of the key features of the Traditions 1873 series is the attention to detail in the design. The revolvers feature authentic-looking wood grips, as well as period-correct sights and finishes. This makes them ideal for collectors or enthusiasts who are interested in owning a piece of history.
But the Traditions 1873 revolvers aren't just for show. They are also fully functional firearms that can be used for target shooting, hunting, or as a sidearm for cowboy action shooting competitions.
One of the advantages of the single-action design is that it allows for a very light trigger pull, which can enhance accuracy. However, it also requires the shooter to manually cock the hammer before each shot, so some practice and familiarity with the firearm is necessary.
Overall, the Traditions 1873 series is a great option for anyone looking for a classic revolver that is both beautiful and functional. Whether you're a collector, a shooter, or a fan of Western movies and TV shows, these revolvers are sure to impress.

The gun is a very well made, solid, nice looking piece. It shoots a nice small, well centered group with my loads. BUT, it hits about a foot low at 25 yds. I've tried different powders, bullet weights, crimps, etc. with no change in elevation. I've had th

The Traditions Frontier 45 revolver is a very nice gun. It is accurate and a real solid feeling pistol. The color case hardened finish looks great! I am proud of this gun; it's not made for heavy loads like my Ruger Super Blackhawk, but standard pressure

The Traditions Frontier 1873 chambered in 45LC is an awesome gun. The fit and finish are very clean and the CCH finish on the gun really pops. The action is very smooth and crisp with little to no play. The maple grips look great with the natural wood gra

Got two with usual great service from Buds. I wanted transfer bar safety models so as to carry all six chambers safe. Excellent fit and finish although triggers a little gritty to start, should smooth up with use. Only fired 10 rounds each of Hornady C

There are a lot of replicas (clones) on the market and it is very difficult to pick among them. I sold a New Vaquero in 357 for this beautiful revolver. The bluing is just what I like which is blue/black. The best part of this firearm aside from price is
