First Look: Pietta King Trio Revolver
Pietta Firearms, best known for replica Western and vintage style firearms, has just unveiled a new single-action revolver–the King Trio. This new revolver will be sold exclusively through Davidson’s, a national firearms distributor.
The King Trio is Western-style single-action revolver with a bore diameter of .357 inches that ships with three different cylinders for three different cartridges including .357 Mag, .38 Spl. and .38 Super. The King Trio includes some classically styled accents such as a brass backstrap and trigger guard, and the pistols are aLeo adorned with a set of polished walnut stocks. Other major metal components, such as the frames and hammers, include case hardening. These single-action revolvers are offered with barrel lengths of 4¾ and 5½ inches. While any .357 Mag. cylinder will accommodate a .38 Spl. cartridge, by having a separate and purpose-made cylinder, maintenance and cleaning of the .357 Mag.and .38 Spl cylinders becomes easier by reducing the leading and fouling from shooting the shorter cartridge in the slightly longer charge holes.
“I personally have never seen anyone offer a three-cylinder single-action revolver before. I have a feeling that not only will this first group be sold out quickly, but it will become a staple within our collection,” said Alberto Pietta. “The beauty of the King Trio is in its simplicity. Along with Davidson’s we’ve developed a gun that is at a great price point and is very much like buying four guns in one. We cannot wait to hear the feedback from all our loyal customers.”
