Taylors & Company 1860 Army Steel .44 Revolver, Case Hardened - 310A

The 1860 Army revolver was adopted as US government ordnance because of its lighter weight, improved balance, and superior ballistics.

The 1860 army steel model features a forged steel frame, shoulder stock frame cuts and screws, round barrel, fixed front blade sight, ratchet style loading lever, rebated cylinder with a roll engraved navy battle scene, steel backstrap and brass triggerguard, and an Army sized walnut grip. A conversion cylinder is available for this model that is a drop-in conversion to smokeless .45LC/.45Schofield ammunition.
