Pietta 1860 Army Old Silver 44 Cal 8" 6rd Single Action Revolver

The Pietta 1860 Army Old Silver is a faithful black-powder reproduction of the iconic Civil War-era cap-and-ball revolver, finished in a softened, antiqued "Old Silver" tone that gives the whole package the look of a well-worn frontier sidearm. Chambered in .44 caliber, it is built around an 8 in round steel barrel, a six-shot cylinder, and an all-steel frame, all finished in the matching Old Silver patina and paired with smooth walnut grips.

Designed as a single-action replica of the original Colt 1860 Army, the Pietta uses a traditional percussion ignition system with a hinged loading lever and a side loading gate. The Old Silver finish mutes the bright look of polished steel while keeping the clean lines of the original profile, and the walnut grip adds a touch of period-correct warmth to the package.

At 13.75 in overall and weighing 2.64 lbs, the 1860 Army Old Silver balances like its full-size horse-hold predecessor — comfortable for off-hand target work, Civil War reenactment, and stage time at the Cowboy Action range. A 1:30 twist rate stabilizes both round ball and conical black-powder projectiles, and the round barrel stays faithful to the original lines. Capacity is 6 rounds, fed by swapping cylinders of pre-loaded balls — or by simply reloading the cylinder in place with powder, ball, and caps.

A natural fit for black-powder enthusiasts, SAS / Cowboy Action shooters, and Civil War collectors who want a touch of weathered swagger on the belt without giving up Pietta's modern production quality.
