The 1873 peacemaker-style revolver, originally designed for the U.S. Cavalry, quickly became the archetypical sixgun of the frontier. Available in a number of powerful chamberings in different barrel lengths, besides the “peacemaker,” it was also known by other monikers like “hogleg,” smokewagon,” and “equalizer.” In civilian hands, it quickly earned a reputation as a rugged, hard-hitting, well balanced revolver and outsold all competitors. Men like Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, John Selman, the James-Younger gang, the Daltons, the Texas and later the Arizona Rangers, all packed this legendary arm and did their smoky work with it. With the coming of the Silver Screen, the Model P 1873 was reintroduced to an entirely new generation of admirers. In the hands of such Western stars as John Wayne, Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, Tom Selleck, Clint Eastwood and countless others, this sixgun has earned lasting fame with shooters and Old West fans alike! The Pistolero is a value version of the classic 1873. It features a pre-war style frame and a smooth finished walnut birdshead grip. This is one rock-solid single action six-shooter that is more than capable of withstanding the rigors of hours of practice and competition.
