The Colt 1860 Army revolver is one of Colt’s greatest products of the 19th century. This pistol was created to have a powerful punch but in a small size, and was liked by the US Military in the American Civil War. It was chambered in 44 Caliber which was common for the military at the time, even civilians bought this gun mostly after the war ended. A lot of frontiersmen used this on the journey West to Oregon or California, and lawmen carried these too. This was another step towards the Colt 45 we all know and love, and are great collectors items. However, they were discontinued during the 1870s but many are still out there.
