One of the most popular models that Pietta produces for E.M.F. is the 1873 Great Western II which pays homage to the numerous and notorious gunfighters of the Old West. A cowboy's preferred sidearm of the wild west was the Colt Single-Action Army dubbed the Peacemaker. It was in the hands of lawmen and outlaws alike. It was popular with ranchers and barkeeps and came in many different styles and configurations. The 1873 GWII model was E.M.F.'s way of allowing you to transport back in time and get a feel for what shooting an old Colt would be like. It is perfect for a fun day at the range or for testing your mettle in a cowboy action match. This model is no different, after long thought about what the team over at E.M.F. would want to carry their minds settled on the classic high stakes' gamblers of the wild west. Lavish suits, silver bolo ties, and heavily engraved peacemakers were what came to mind. Characters like Wild Bill Hickok, Lottie Deno, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday were the legends that inspired this fantastic revolver. The Gambler Royale is elegantly engraved with a Victorian scroll-work on the contrasting black barrel and the polished steel frame. It is further accented with a one-piece black grip. This model is chambered in the iconic .45LC, and any classic gambler would have been proud to carry this big iron.  The GWII "Gambler’s Royale" is elegantly engraved with a Victorian scroll-work on the contrasting black barrel and the polished steel frame.
