Authentic 1851-style revolver in .38 Special with 7.5" barrel, case-hardened brass frame, and one-piece walnut grip. Weighs 2.83 lbs.
This is a faithful reproduction of one of America's most iconic percussion revolvers, reimagined for modern .38 Special cartridges. The Richards-Mason conversion represents a significant chapter in firearms history—the practical adaptation of cap-and-ball revolvers to metallic ammunition during the post-Civil War era.
The 7.5-inch barrel provides excellent sight radius and velocity for target work or sport shooting. The case-hardened brass frame gives this revolver its distinctive appearance while keeping weight manageable. The one-piece walnut grip offers a secure, traditional hold that suits both casual shooters and those interested in historical firearms.
This revolver is ideal for Cowboy Action Shooting, historical reenactment, or anyone seeking an authentic-feeling classic revolver that uses modern ammunition. The .38 Special cartridge is widely available, affordable, and manageable for shooters of all experience levels.
