Gussago, Italy -- Pietta Firearms, the leader in refined, historical firearm reproductions and quality, innovative, modern firearms, is celebrating the enormous success of the Deadman’s Hand single-action revolver. Since the debut in early 2023, the popularity and overall reception has been overwhelming and has incentivized Pietta to increase production on this specific model to keep up with customer demand.

The Deadman’s Hand pays tribute to one of the most iconic Wild West figures, Wild Bill Hickock, with the “Aces & Eights” engraved in the white grips. This highly engraved revolver, available in 45LC, .357 and 9mm, has quickly become one of Pietta’s best-selling firearms. Sold through Pietta’s distributor partners, well-known big box retailers and independent dealers nationwide, the Deadman’s Hand is having higher than anticipated sell-through numbers, leaving retailers and customers demanding more.

“It is in Pietta’s soul to create revolvers that represent and pay tribute to some of the most famous western frontiersmen that carried the firearms that we have a passion for,” said Alessandro Pietta. “The Deadman’s Hand is no exception, we are beyond thrilled that customers are sharing that same passion, and we are committed to getting the demand filled as fast as possible.”

Pietta left no stone unturned when developing the Deadman’s Hand, from the photo-engraved frame, cylinder, backstrap, and barrel, to the casehardening and the brass trigger guard, this revolver looks as good as it shoots. Although consider a collection piece, this revolver adheres to the same standards as all Pietta firearms, and shoots as good as it looks.
