The 1860 Army revolver was adopted by the U.S. Ordnance and became very popular with mounted troops because of its easy handling, superior balance and excellent ballistics. This authentic reproduction is 44 Caliber with a round barrel, brass trigger guard, 6-shot cylinder, case hardened frame, fixed sights and one-piece walnut grip. Colt worked to perfect his cap and ball revolver, designing the 1860 Army around a lightweight frame, but chambered for the more powerful .44 caliber ball. The first models featured fluted cylinders, while later models incorporated a belted cylinder for added strength and a “creeping” loading lever for easier loading. The sleek 1860 Army is considered to be the ultimate combat handgun of the percussion era. BLACK POWDER LOAD SEATING IN ARMY AND NAVY REVOLVERS Operationally, the Uberti Colt 1860 is a single action pistol, requiring manual cocking of the hammer for each shot. The gun’s lock up is tight and the timing is right on out of the box. To seat black powder loads in the cylinder of the single-action army and navy revolvers, the loading lever is freed from the latch and pulled downward. This causes the ramrod to move through the frame and ram the load home. A beautifully presented Colt Replica Black powder revolver, ready for its new owner.
