1860 Army Pietta Black Powder Revolver

The 1860 Army Black Powder Pistol remains one of the most celebrated revolvers in American history. Originally designed by Samuel Colt, it gained fame during the Civil War and later among notable figures like Texas gunfighter John Wesley Hardin. This .44 caliber single-action reproduction captures the authentic look, balance, and operation of the original model that defined an era of frontier craftsmanship. Featuring an 8" blued barrel paired with a color casehardened steel frame, the revolver reflects the strength and style of its 19th-century counterpart. The brass trigger guard and smooth walnut grips complete its period-correct detailing, while the percussion ignition and six-round cylinder preserve the traditional black powder experience. Both functional and collectible, this revolver stands as a faithful tribute to one of Colt’s most iconic designs.
