The Pietta King is a single-action revolver with a 5.5″ barrel, chambered in .38 Sup, 9mm Luger and .357 Mag. It holds 6 rounds and is built by Pietta in Italy.
The King uses an external hammer and a four position hammer. The cylinder is a three fluted design. The frame is steel with a color case hardened finish, and the two-piece grips are walnut. Sights are a fixed blade up front with a notch at the rear, so there is nothing to adjust. Overall length is 11.08″, and the revolver weighs 42.2 oz.
Who it suits
This revolver fits shooters who like the look and manual of operation of a traditional single-action. You cock the hammer for each shot, which makes for a slower, deliberate pace. That suits range days, plinking and anyone who simply enjoys shooting a well-finished wheelgun. The 5.5″ barrel gives a longer sight radius than a short snub-nose would.
Pair it with a belt holster sized for a revolver with a longer barrel. Stock up on ammunition in the caliber you plan to shoot, and check the markings on the revolver before you load. Add eye and ear protection, a cleaning kit sized for the bore, and a sturdy range bag to carry it all.
