| A. Uberti Black Powder Revolvers | |
|---|---|
 | The story of the single action revolver began the day the Alamo fell in 1836. That’s when Samuel Colt began production of a revolving-cylinder pistol at his Paterson, New Jersey, factory. The firearm was enthusiastically received by the Rangers of the newly independent Republic of Texas. And in 1844, the single actions made history when sixteen Rangers held off eighty Comanche warriors with their new Colt revolvers. One of those Rangers was Sam Walker. So in 1846, when war with Mexico was looming and Walker’s Mounted Rifles needed powerful handguns for action on horseback, Walker ordered 1,000 improved Colt revolvers. The Walker model held 60 grains of black powder and chambered six, .44-caliber balls. The massive fire-power needed a much stronger frame and a larger design than earlier models. The Walkers were 15-3/4" long and weighed nearly four and a half pounds. The reputation of the formidable Walker black powder firearms ensured Colt’s success. |

| A. Uberti Conversion Cartridge Revolvers | |
|---|---|
 | Beginning in 1868, thousands of black powder Colt revolvers and Remington percussion revolvers were converted to cartridge revolvers. Among them: the 1851 Navy, 1858 New Army, and 1860 Army. Remington was the first to introduce single action cartridge conversion revolvers in 1868. The original cap-and-ball cylinder of the 1858 New Army cartridge revolver was replaced by a cartridge cylinder with a loading gate and a new breech face. The frame was dovetailed to accept an ejector assembly. The Remington conversion chambered five, .46-caliber rimfire cartridges. |

| A. Uberti Cartridge Revolvers | |
|---|---|
 | Uberti has re-created some of the special-order single action cattleman six-shooters that would have been right at home on the dangerous streets of Dodge City, Kansas. The Uberti 1873 Cattleman series replicates many popular variations of the Colt 1873 Single Action Army, arguably the best-selling pistol ever produced. You’ll find Cattleman models with ivory grips and nickel finish-favorite special orders from the Old West. These revolvers are also available in blue, case-hardened, stainless steel, and Old West finishes. In addition to ivory grips, choose from grips in walnut, black, bison-style or pearl-style synthetic. |

| A. Uberti 1875 Army Outlaw, 1875 Frontier, 1890 Police | |
|---|---|
 | Uberti revolvers include the 1875 Army Outlaw, 1875 Frontier, and 1890 Remington Police. Remington entered the cartridge revolver market in 1875 when it introduced a big-frame, Army-style revolver—a six-shooter—to compete with the Colt Peacemaker. The 1875 Remington single actions kept the solid frame and overall styling of Remington’s 1858 percussion models. Ordinary citizens and Old West lawmen alike recognized the sturdy quality of the new Remington revolvers. The infamous Frank James even carried one for most of his outlaw career. Faithful reproductions, the Uberti 1875 Army Outlaw and 1875 Frontier are available in Frank’s favorite caliber, .45 Colt. |

B. Tyler Henry of the New Haven Arms Company introduced the Henry rifle the year the Civil War began. Only 1,700 of the lever-action repeating rifles were issued to Union troops, but the gun’s reputation quickly grew. Southerners dubbed it “that tarnation Yankee rifle that they load on Sunday and shoot all week.” After the war, the Henry went West. There was more than one of the Henry rifles in the fight at Little Big Horn. Unfortunately for Custer, all of the Henrys were used by Indians. | |

John Browning designed High Wall single shot rifles for Winchester at the end of the buffalo hunting era. These accurate Winchester rifles made a name for themselves in the golden age of target shooting. By the late 1800s, the international sport of competitive long-range rifle shooting was widely followed in the United States. The biggest target event was the United States National Match in Creedmore, New York. Today, Uberti makes three models of the 1885 High Wall, chambered in the classic buffalo cartridges—.45-70, .45-90, and .45-120, just like the original High Wall Winchester rifles. With a High Wall Single Shot Sporting Rifle or Carbine from Uberti, you can relive a time when rifle shooting was more than a pastime; it was a serious business. | |
