Model 1860 Colt Army Blackpowder Revolver

The era of the black powder percussion revolver was perhaps the shortest in the history of firearms. Samuel Colt was the initiator and driving force in the early years of blackpowder. This period encompasses the Mexican American War, the Gold Rush, the Civil War and the Old West.

Authentic in every detail to give you the same experience as during the Civil War. The Colt 1860 is an interesting historical artifact and the modern replicas can provide an enjoyable foray into the history of the repeating handgun, the industrial age and the cultural precursors of the modern age.

Typically, because of fowling and shipping, you will find it easier and cheaper to deal with various substitutes like Hodgdon’s Pyrodex, ClearShot and Triple 7 "propellants" rather than black powder, which the common carriers and the federal government defines as an "explosive".
