.44-caliber revolver used during the American Civil War. It was
favored as a side arm by cavalry, infantry, and artillery troops.
The revolver 1860 Army uses the same size frame as the
.36 caliber 1851 Navy revolver. The frame is relieved to allow
the use of a rebated cylinder that enables the Army to be
chambered in .44 caliber. Also, the barrel on the 1860 Army
has a forcing cone that is visibly shorter than that of the
1851 Navy, allowing the Army revolver to have a longer
cylinder. A major distinguishing feature introduced with the
1860 revolver was the "creeping" loading lever. This
arrangement employs a cam interface between lever and
barrel and ideally, prevents the lever from dropping and
tying up the revolver if it should recoil loose from the barrel
catch during firing.

More than 200,000 were manufactured from 1860 through
1873, which biggest customer was the US Government with
over 127,000 units being purchased and issued to the troops.
The weapon was a single-action, six-shot weapon accurate
up to 75 to 100 yards, where the fixed sights were typically
set when manufactured. The rear sight was a notch in the
hammer, clearly visible only when the revolver was cocked.

The revolver .44-caliber “Army" Model was one of the most
widely-used revolvers of the Civil War. It had a six-shot,
rotating cylinder, and fired a 0.454-inch diameter round lead
ball, or a conical projectile, that was propelled by a 30 grain
charge of black powder ignited by a copper percussion cap
that contained a volatile charge of fulminate of mercury
(a substance that explodes upon impact). The percussion cap,
when struck by the hammer, ignited the powder charge.
When fired, balls had a muzzle velocity of about 900 feet
per second.
