Historical Background

In 1872, Colt revolutionized the metallic cartridge revolver market by introducing factory-installed percussion-to-cartridge conversions of the 1861 Navy cap-and-ball revolver. Shortly thereafter, the Richards-Mason conversion of the 1860 Army was developed. Patented by Colt employees Charles Richards and William Mason, these conversions involved cutting down the old cap-and-ball cylinders to accommodate a conversion ring, allowing the revolvers to fire modern metallic cartridges safely and reliably.

Beyond civilian use, Colt received an Army contract in 1871 to convert 1,000 Model 1860 Army percussion revolvers to fire .44-caliber centerfire cartridges manufactured at the Frankford Arsenal. Over the years, thousands of Colt and Remington conversion revolvers were distributed to sheriffs, outlaws, soldiers, cowboys, miners, and ranchers, playing a pivotal role in American frontier history.

Design and Features

Uberti’s U341361 preserves the authenticity of the original 1860 Army while incorporating modern manufacturing quality. The revolver features a single-action mechanism for traditional cock-and-fire operation, a fluted six-shot cylinder, and a retro-fitted loading gate for easy cartridge insertion. The blued steel frame and one-piece walnut stock provide both durability and an authentic aesthetic. The 4.75″ barrel offers excellent balance between handling and accuracy, ideal for target shooting, reenactments, or cowboy action competitions.
