The Pietta 1860 Army Brass Frame Revolver is a faithful reproduction of one of the most iconic sidearms of the American Civil War era. This revolver captures the classic look and feel of the original 1860 design. During the mid-1800s, the Confederate South faced shortages of steel and other raw materials, leading to the production of revolvers with brass frames. These firearms became known for their distinctive golden appearance and durability despite the material limitations of the time.

Pietta’s 1860 New Army Brass Frame Revolver stays true to this historical tradition, combining authenticity with modern craftsmanship. It features a polished brass frame and finger guard, an engraved cylinder, a sleek round barrel, and smooth walnut grips that provide a secure and comfortable hold. The revolver is well-balanced, making it ideal for black powder shooting enthusiasts, reenactors, or collectors seeking a historically inspired piece.
