Saddle up and listen to our demo on Soundcloud with this link.

The 1851 Model Navy Colt—the legendary six-shooter that was the trusty side iron for law makers and law breakers alike during the rough-and-tumble days of the 1800’s Wild West. This .38 black powder pistol was the gun of choice in dusty saloons, outlaw standoffs, and lawmen’s posse rides. Beyond the American frontier, it earned its spurs with the British Army, Confederate States, Ottoman Empire, Dutch Empire, Russian Empire, and French Foreign Legion, making its mark from 1851 well into the early 1900s.
