History
The Colt Model 1851 Navy 2nd Generation Revolver is a stunning replica of the original 19th-century firearm, known for its elegance, reliability, and historic significance. This .36 caliber percussion revolver was a favorite sidearm among both military and civilian figures, making a significant impact on the American frontier and in various military conflicts. Originally designed by Samuel Colt in 1850, the Colt 1851 Navy revolver became one of the most popular and widely used revolvers of its time. Known as the "Navy" model due to its intended use by naval forces, it was widely adopted for use in the U.S. and abroad, particularly by Civil War officers, soldiers, lawmen, and even outlaws. The revolver gained fame for its accuracy and was praised for its balanced weight, which made it easier to handle than earlier models.
