The Pietta 1860 Army is a reproduction of the Colt Model 1860 Army, the primary revolver issued to Union cavalry and officers during the American Civil War. Distinguished by its round barrel (versus the octagonal barrel of the 1851 Navy) and rebated cylinder, the 1860 Army offered improved ballistics in .44 caliber while maintaining manageable weight. Pietta produces standard, Sheriff (short barrel), snub-nose Thunderer (3" barrel), brass frame, and various engraved editions.
