June 22, 2020 By Guns & Ammo Staff

Pietta is known worldwide for their authentic historical firearms reproductions.

“We are excited to start up yet another venture by creating exclusive firearms from Pietta”, said Kane Cannedy, Davidson’s VP of Purchasing. “This is a project we have worked on for some time and it’s fantastic to see Pietta bring it to life.”

Offered in both .357 Magnum as well as the more traditional 45 Long Colt, these Davidson’s Exclusives feature a deep blued finish on the frame, cylinder, and barrel. The trigger guard, front strap, and back strap are a high-polished brass.

The sights are the open fixed type with a notch at rear and a bladed front. These 1873 models feature the traditional four-click hammer and both chamberings have 4.75” barrels.

Item #PSA454, 45 Long Colt

Item #PSA354, .357 Magnum

Both models have an MSRP of $519.99.

Too often, shooters so focused on shooting and what's happening at the target that they never learn how to create a solid shooting foundation. Without that foundation, we introduce accuracy-degrading variables into our marksmanship. Here are some rifle accuracy testing tips to get you headed in the right direction.

Shooting 600 Yards with .300 Blackout

The .300 Blackout cartridge was developed to provide greater effectiveness than a 9mm at short and medium ranges when fired from a short-barreled suppressed firearm. Just because the cartridge wasn't designed to go long doesn't mean Rifles & Optics Editor Tom Beckstrand won't take it there, using a large-format pistol, no less. Armed with SIG Sauer's 9-inch-barreled MCX Virtus Pistol loaded with Black Hills' 125-grain TMK ammunition, Beckstrand attempts to ring steel at 600 yards with help from Hornady's 4DOF ballistic calculator in this segment of “Long Range Tech.”
