Wildcard .36 Caliber Black Powder Revolver FR18514-02

Union Army soldiers relied on many different types of sidearms for short range and close quarters combat. The revolver was unique in that it had the ability to fire several rounds per minute before having to reload. Revolvers were typically issued to officers and mounted soldiers, however some were purchased privately or found on the battlefield by infantrymen.   Distinguished by its octagon barrel and lever style loader, the 1851 helped to begin both the expansion of the West and the Civil War. The 1851 Navy is commonly considered to be one of gunfighter “Wild Bill” Hickok’s favorite handguns. This model is loosely based on Hickok being deemed the Gambler and his love of poker.   A set of playing cards are engraved on the back strap. This revolver features an 7.5" octagonal barrel, steel frame, blued guard, and simulated stag grips. It is available in .36 caliber, weighs 2.5 lbs., and is 13.5" in length.   Factory Seconds: Are you looking for a great deal on the top muzzleloaders in the industry?
