Historical Significance

In 1872, Colt introduced metallic cartridge revolvers with their factory-installed percussion-to-cartridge conversions of the 1861 Navy cap-and-ball revolver. Soon after, the Richards-Mason conversion of the 1860 Army followed. Patented by Colt employees Charles Richards and William Mason, these conversions involved cutting down the cap-and-ball cylinders to allow a conversion ring, making the revolvers compatible with modern metallic cartridges.

Colt received an Army contract in 1871 to convert 1,000 Model 1860 Army percussion revolvers to fire .44-caliber centerfire cartridges produced at the Frankford Arsenal. Over time, thousands of Colt and Remington conversions ended up in the hands of sheriffs, outlaws, soldiers, cowboys, miners, and ranchers throughout the American frontier.

Design and Features

Uberti’s U341363 preserves the original design while incorporating precise modern craftsmanship. The revolver features a single-action mechanism for traditional cock-and-fire operation, a six-shot fluted cylinder, and a retro-fitted loading gate for easy cartridge insertion. The 7.5″ barrel provides excellent sight radius for improved accuracy, and the walnut stock ensures a classic look with a comfortable grip. The blued steel finish adds durability and timeless style.
