The Uberti 341350 1872 Army Open-Top: A Nostalgic Revolver for Gun Enthusiasts

In the mid-19th century, multi-shot percussion revolvers revolutionized handgun designs and left their mark on the battlefields of the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War. However, as metallic cartridges grew in popularity, the limitations of percussion cap revolvers became more apparent: they were slow to reload and prone to misfires if not loaded correctly. To stay ahead of the curve, many of these older revolvers were converted to fire the new metallic cartridges. These conversion revolvers laid the foundation for more contemporary and recognizable designs, such as the legendary Single Action Army.

Uberti’s Open-Top Conversion Revolvers are true-to-original reproductions, complete with engraved cylinders, case-hardened frames, hardwood grips, and retrofitted loading gates. Experience the rich history and timeless beauty of these classic firearms with Uberti’s faithful recreations.
