Pietta King Trio 357 9mm 38 Super 5.5 in. Overview

LLI Pietta has built classic single action revolvers in Italy for decades, and the King Trio adds remarkable versatility to the 1873 design. It comes with three interchangeable cylinders, so one revolver can shoot 357 Magnum and 38 Special, 9mm Luger, or 38 Super. Swapping cylinders takes only a moment with the base pin. The frame is color case hardened steel with a brass backstrap and trigger guard, and the two-piece walnut grips give it a traditional look. 5 inch round rifled barrel.

A four position hammer, a fixed blade front sight and a notched rear sight complete the classic setup. 08 inches long.

One Revolver, Four Cartridges

The King Trio lets you shoot whatever ammunition is available or affordable. Practice with 38 Special or 9mm, hunt or protect with 357 Magnum, or enjoy the flat-shooting 38 Super. Always make sure the correct cylinder is installed for the cartridge you load.

Classic Single Action Handling

Like the original 1873, the King Trio loads one round at a time through the loading gate and is cocked for each shot. The four position hammer adds an extra margin of safety, but traditional single action practice is still to load five rounds and rest the hammer on an empty chamber unless the manual says otherwise.

Care and Finish

Color case hardening is beautiful but needs care: wipe the frame with a lightly oiled cloth after handling and avoid harsh solvents. Clean each cylinder after use, and keep the spare cylinders oiled and stored safely.

Practice and Training

Regular practice builds confidence and safe handling. Start at close range, focus on sight alignment and a smooth trigger press, and work back as your groups tighten. Dry fire with snap caps at home to improve your trigger control between range trips.

Choosing Ammunition

Try several brands and bullet weights to see what feeds reliably and groups best in your handgun. Use quality full metal jacket loads for practice and proven hollow points for defense, and confirm reliable function with your defensive load before carrying it.

Care and Maintenance

Clean the barrel, slide or cylinder and frame after shooting, apply a light coat of quality lubricant to moving parts, and store the handgun unloaded in a locked case or safe away from children.

Safe Storage

Store handguns unloaded in a locked safe, lockbox or with a cable lock, and keep ammunition separate when children are in the home. Quick access safes keep a defensive handgun secure but available. Teach everyone in the household basic firearm safety rules.

Recommended Accessories

A quality holster, spare magazines, eye and ear protection and a cleaning kit round out any handgun purchase. For defensive use, add a weapon light and practice drawing safely from your holster with an unloaded gun before carrying.
