UBERTI 1851 NAVY CONVERSION .38 SPL REVOLVER 341360
When multi-shot percussion revolvers debuted in the 1850s, they revolutionized handgun design and significantly impacted conflicts like the Mexican-American and American Civil Wars. However, the rise of metallic cartridges exposed the limitations of percussion caps, such as slow reloading and misfires. To adapt, older revolvers were converted to fire these new cartridges, paving the way for modern designs like the iconic Single Action Army.
Uberti's Open-Top Conversion Revolvers faithfully recreate these historical firearms, boasting intricate details like an engraved cylinder, case-hardened frame, hardwood grips, and retrofitted loading gates. This .38 Special caliber revolver offers a glimpse into the transitional period of firearm technology, capturing the essence of 19th-century ingenuity.
