Davidson's Exclusive: Color Case Hardened, Limited Production, Hand Finished By Pietta Custom Shop

During a planning meeting, a Davidson’s board member asked the Pietta brothers “What word in Italian means ‘the best’?” They answered “migliore”. The board member replied, “That’s what we want to make”. Thus, the name and intent of this project was established.

Most efforts to achieve pinnacle-level quality are not successful in one fell swoop. Several meetings, planning sessions, exchanged ideas, and prototypes paved the way for the final product.

Parkwest Arms was recruited to contribute the color case-hardening process on the frame and hammer using the traditional bone and charcoal method. A deep gloss blued finish for the rest of the gun was considered a requirement among all parties. The hand set nitride-blued ejector pin, cylinder release pin, and screws serve as a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and refinement. The Migliore’s one-piece grip is carved from high-grade walnut and the completed look, we believe, speaks for itself.
