Taylor/Pietta 1860 Army Steel Frame Brass Back Strap/Trigger guard .44 Caliber 8" Barrel Black Powder Revolver

The 1860 Army was adopted as U.S. government ordnance because of its lighter weight, improved balance, and superior ballistics.

This 6-shot, .44 caliber, round-barrel percussion revolver became very popular with mounted troops and went on to be the issue sidearm for the U.S. Army for many years.

A conversion cylinder is available for this model that is a drop-in conversion to smokeless .45LC/.45 Schofield ammunition.
