The Taylors & Company 1860 Army Open-Top brings Civil War-era design into modern shooting with .38 Special chambering. This conversion revolver combines historical authenticity with practical cartridge convenience for collectors and shooters who appreciate classic firearms engineering.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional percussion cap revolvers, this open-top design eliminates the top strap for faster loading and ejection. The conversion to .38 Special cartridges provides consistent ignition and simplified ammunition handling compared to black powder alternatives. The 7.5-inch barrel delivers enhanced accuracy and velocity while maintaining the original 1860 Army proportions that made it a cavalry favorite.Key Features
