Pietta Martial 9mm 3.5 in. Revolver – Superb Single Action

Description

The Pietta Martial 9mm 3.5 in. Revolver is a short-barreled single action revolver from Pietta of Italy chambered in 9mm Luger, with a 3.5 inch barrel, a six-shot fluted cylinder and a color case hardened frame. It weighs about 36.8 ounces.

Pietta Martial 9mm 3.5 in. Revolver Overview

Pietta developed the Martial after many requests for a short-barreled single action, and it captures the look of a classic 1873 revolver while firing modern, affordable 9mm ammunition. Like the original Colt, it uses a four click hammer. The frame is color case hardened, the trigger guard and backstrap are brass, and the barrel, trigger and hammer are blued. A two-piece black checkered grip gives a secure hold. The 3.5 inch rifled barrel has a 1:10 twist, and sights are a fixed blade front with a notched rear. The revolver is about 9.13 inches long overall.

Classic Look, Modern Cartridge

9mm Luger is one of the most affordable and widely available cartridges, which makes the Martial an inexpensive single action to shoot often. The short barrel gives the revolver a handy, birdshead-era look and quick handling.

Single Action Safety

Load single action revolvers one round at a time through the loading gate. Even with a four click hammer, the traditional and safest practice is to load five rounds and rest the hammer on an empty chamber unless the owner’s manual states otherwise.

Care and Finish

Wipe the case hardened frame and brass with a lightly oiled cloth after handling to protect the finish from fingerprints and moisture. Clean the cylinder and barrel after each range trip.

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.
