What’s Included
- Uberti 1847 Walker .44-caliber percussion revolver
Uberti’s full-size Walker stays true to Samuel Colt’s original design, including the open-top frame, spring-latched loading lever, and square-back brass trigger guard. The forged-steel construction provides modern strength while preserving authentic weight and balance.
The oversize cylinder safely accepts the historic 60-grain black-powder charge, giving shooters the same formidable power valued during the Mexican-American War. A factory roll engraving of the mounted-dragoon battle scene spans the cylinder, adding period-correct visual appeal without aftermarket modification.
Fixed sights consist of a German-silver blade front and hammer-notch rear, just as on 19th-century examples. Varnished walnut grips fill the hand and complement the blued and case-hardened finish for a classic, serviceable appearance.
For added versatility, the revolver is drilled and timed to accept commonly available .45 Colt cartridge conversion cylinders (not included), allowing owners to enjoy both cap-and-ball and metallic-cartridge shooting with a single firearm.
