F. Pietta 1860 Army Colt 44 Cal Black Powder Percussion Revolver NO FFL REQUIRED - NIB

Description:
The Pietta™ 1860 Army Colt Revolver is a fully functional replica fashioned after one of the most popular cap-and-ball, single-action revolvers ever made. The Pietta™ 1860 Army in .44 Caliber was a mainstay in the Civil War, as well as the weapon of choice for Texas gunfighter John Wesley Hardin and other gunmen.  The Pietta™ Model 1860 Army revolver boasts a brass trigger guard, color case-hardened steel frame, round barrel, and walnut grips. The .44 caliber revolver also sports a laser-engraved naval battle scene on the cylinder.

Overview
The F. Pietta 1860 Colt Army .44 Caliber Black Powder Percussion Revolver is a popular replica of the iconic Civil War-era firearm, known for its open-top frame, steel frame, walnut grips, and brass trigger guard (on some models). It's a cap-and-ball revolver, meaning it uses percussion caps, black powder, and lead balls (or conical bullets) loaded into its cylinder for each shot, offering a realistic shooting experience for enthusiasts and hobbyists. Pietta offers various versions, including the standard 8-inch barrel and a shorter "Sheriff" model, noted for its fast-draw capability and relatively light recoil. 

Features & Highlights

• Caliber: .44
• Action: Single-action, percussion cap ignition
• Frame: Steel, often with color-case hardening
• Grips: Two-piece walnut
• Barrel: Available in lengths like 8-inch (standard) or 5.5-inch (Sheriff)
• Capacity: 6 rounds
• Loading: Manual loading of powder, wad, and ball/bullet into each chamber; uses percussion caps on nipples
• Design: Based on the original Colt Model 1858 Army, a popular handgun during the American Civil War. 

What It Is

• A faithful reproduction of a classic .44 caliber percussion revolver used during the 19th century.
• A black powder firearm requiring specific loading procedures (powder, cap, ball/bullet). 

Why People Like It

• Authenticity: Offers a genuine feel and shooting experience of historical firearms.
• Reliability: Known for being a solid shooter, especially with proper maintenance.
• Craftsmanship: Often praised for its quality and appearance.
• Ease of Use (for black powder): Simpler loading with paper cartridges is possible, and the design allows for quick cylinder swaps. 
• Brass Trigger Guard
• These configurations are fitted with a brass trigger guard
• Black Powder Load Seating
• In Army and Navy Revolvers

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.
