Traditions 1851 Navy Revolver — .44 Cal Cap-and-Ball Percussion Revolver

The Colt 1851 Navy is one of the most iconic handguns in American history — carried by frontiersmen, lawmen, and Civil War officers alike. The Traditions 1851 Navy Revolver is a faithful reproduction chambered in .44 caliber, giving you more power than the original .36 cal while keeping the classic lines, balance, and single-action feel that made the Navy revolver legendary.

Whether you're shooting cowboy action, doing historical re-enactment, or just want a genuinely fun black powder handgun to shoot on the range, the 1851 Navy delivers an experience that modern firearms simply can't replicate.

Why the .44 Cal Navy?

The .44 caliber version of the 1851 Navy offers more versatility than the original .36 — better terminal performance with round balls or conicals, and a wider selection of projectiles. The 7.5" octagonal barrel gives you a long sight radius for accurate shooting, and the solid steel loading lever makes charging all six chambers straightforward. This is a revolver you'll shoot, not just display.
