Historical Legacy of the 1860 Army Conversion

By the early 1870s, Colt sought to keep pace with the growing demand for metallic cartridge firearms. In 1872, Colt introduced the first factory conversions, adapting percussion revolvers to accept cartridges. The most notable among them was the Richards-Mason conversion, applied to the 1860 Army revolver. The design was based on patents held by Colt employees Charles Richards and William Mason, who modified percussion cylinders by machining the back to allow installation of a conversion ring, enabling the use of metallic cartridges.

The U.S. Army itself placed an order in 1871 for 1,000 converted 1860 Army revolvers chambered in the .44 centerfire cartridge produced at Frankford Arsenal. These revolvers proved to be rugged, reliable, and popular with both soldiers and civilians. Eventually, Colt produced around 9,000 Open Top revolvers and more than 2,100 Richards-Mason conversions. From the battlefields to the boomtowns, these conversions were carried by soldiers, sheriffs, outlaws, ranchers, and miners—helping shape the firearms history of the American West.
