Single action revolver with 7 inch barrel. Action works! Spin the cylinders, cock the hammer and pull the trigger. Complete with wood grips. M1873 Cavalry Pistol - Antique Gray Length: 12.5 inches, Weight: 2 lbs The Colt Single Action Army revolver, aka Colt Peacemaker or Single Action Army model, is a single action revolver safely holding 5 rounds with an empty chamber under the hammer. It was designed for the US cavalry by Colt's Manufacturing Company and adopted in 1873. It was one of the most famous pistols of the old west, having a similar fame as the Walker Colt and the Colt 1851 Navy.
The Colt Frontier or Frontier Six-Shooter was a Colt's
1873 "Model P" type revolver, manufactured in .44-40 Winchester caliber
instead of .45 Colt (in which configuration it was called the Single Action
Army), so as to be cross-compatible with Winchester Model 73 ammunition.
Production began 1877. Colt Frontier Six-Shooter was the actual name of the
Colt pistol model, and this was acid-etched on the left side of the barrel.
After 1889, the legend was roll-stamped until 1919, when the caliber
designation ".44-40" was added. Later Colt 1878 Double Action Army Models
also wore this designation on the barrel when chambered in 44 Colt/44-40
Winchester. The Bisley 1895 Model was the final Colt to wear the Frontier
Six Shooter designation.[10]
In the last half of the 19th Century it was very common for an individual to
own a long gun (rifle or carbine) and a revolver. The users of the .44-40
Winchester cartridge in the Far West appreciated the convenience of being
able to carry a single caliber of ammunition which they could fire in both
revolver and rifle. The Colt Frontier Six Shooter Revolver and the
Winchester Model 1873 or the Winchester Model 1892 in .44-40 WCF caliber
were one of the most common combinations seen in "the Old West".
