The 1860 Army revolver became one of the most iconic sidearms of the American Civil War and beyond. Officially adopted as U.S. government ordnance, it gained a reputation for its lighter weight, superior balance, and enhanced ballistics compared to earlier percussion designs. Favored by mounted troops, it served as the standard-issue sidearm for many U.S. Army units throughout the 1860s. 

Used extensively by Union cavalry and officers, the 1860 Army revolver symbolized reliability and innovation in black powder firearm design. Its refined profile and practical performance made it a favorite among soldiers, lawmen, and civilians well into the late 19th century. 

Ideal for living history, reenactment, display, and controlled black powder shooting where permitted. This model reproduces the look and balance of mid-19th century revolvers while using modern manufacturing standards for fit and function. 

This 1860 Army Steel Model faithfully reproduces the original revolver’s construction and detailing. It features a forged steel frame with shoulder stock frame cuts and screws, a round barrel, and a fixed front blade sight. The ratchet-style loading lever and rebated cylinder are true to the original pattern — with the cylinder bearing a roll-engraved naval battle scene. Completing the authentic look are a steel backstrap, brass trigger guard, and an Army-sized walnut grip for comfortable handling and balance.
