It was favored as a side arm by cavalry, infantry, and artillery troops.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe revolver 1860 Army uses the same size frame as the .36 caliber 1851 Navy revolver. The frame is relieved to allow the use of a rebated cylinder that enables the Army to be chambered in .44 caliber. Also, the barrel on the 1860 Army has a forcing cone that is visibly shorter than that of the 1851 Navy, allowing the Army revolver to have a longer cylinder. A major distinguishing feature introduced with the 1860 revolver was the \"creeping\" loading lever. This arrangement employs a cam interface between lever and barrel and ideally, prevents the lever from dropping and tying up the revolver if it should recoil loose from the barrel catch during firing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore than 200,000 were manufactured from 1860 through 1873, which biggest customer was the US Government with over 127,000 units being purchased and issued to the troops. The weapon was a single-action, six-shot weapon accurate up to 75 to 100 yards, where the fixed sights were typically set when manufactured. The rear sight was a notch in the hammer, clearly visible only when the revolver was cocked.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe revolver .44-caliber “Army\" Model was one of the most widely-used revolvers of the Civil War. It had a six-shot, rotating cylinder, and fired a 0.454-inch diameter round lead ball, or a conical projectile, that was propelled by a 30 grain charge of black powder ignited by a copper percussion cap that contained a volatile charge of fulminate of mercury (a substance that explodes upon impact). The percussion cap, when struck by the hammer, ignited the powder charge. When fired, balls had a muzzle velocity of about 900 feet per second.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eAvailable in QLD, WA \u0026amp; for License\/Permit Holders ONLY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePermits\/License will be verified before shipping even if a payment has been approved.  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/unreal-gun-company.myshopify.com\/pages\/disclaimer\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eClick here for State Gun Laws\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/unreal-gun-company.myshopify.com\/pages\/license-and-permit-application-information\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eClick here for Instructions for Permit\/License Applications\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Denix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54415798075676,"sku":"3\/1007\/G","price":292.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/1388\/5724\/files\/PIN3-1007-G.jpg?v=1786279970","url":"https:\/\/www.replicaweapons.com.au\/products\/gray-civilwar-denix-colt-navy-1860-usa","provider":"Replica Weapons","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
