About Real M1851 Navy Revolver

The M1851 Navy Revolver, also known as the Colt Navy Revolver or simply the Colt 1851, is a iconic percussion-cap revolver designed by Samuel Colt and produced by Colt's Patent Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company. Introduced in 1851, it became one of the most widely used sidearms of the mid-19th century, particularly during the American Civil War, despite its name suggesting naval use. The revolver was favored for its balance, reliability, and relatively lightweight design compared to other revolvers of the era, such as the heavier Colt Dragoon models.
The M1851 Navy features a .36 caliber bore, a six-shot rotating cylinder, and an octagonal barrel, typically measuring 7.5 inches in length. Its cylinder was often engraved with a naval battle scene, most commonly depicting the 1843 Battle of Campeche, which contributed to its "Navy" designation. The revolver operated using a single-action mechanism, requiring the hammer to be manually cocked before each shot. It used paper cartridges containing black powder and lead round or conical bullets, ignited by percussion caps placed on the cylinder's nipples.
Due to its manageable size and weight, the M1851 Navy was popular among officers, cavalrymen, and civilians alike. It saw extensive use in the American Civil War, carried by both Union and Confederate soldiers, as well as in conflicts such as the Texas Revolution and various frontier skirmishes. Outlaw figures like Wild Bill Hickok and John Wesley Hardin were also known to favor this revolver.
Though eventually supplanted by cartridge-firing revolvers like the Colt Single Action Army, the M1851 Navy remained in production until 1873, with over 250,000 units made. Its combination of craftsmanship, effectiveness, and historical significance has made it a sought-after collector's item and a symbol of the Old West.

The revolver also includes a polymer white color pistol grip, a polymer trigger and trigger guard, a polymer hammer, and, to enhance authenticity, it is equipped with percussion caps (mounted at the rear of the cylinder) just like the original firearm. This airsoft revolver fires 6mm BB bullets, and the cylinder can hold six rounds. At the front, there is a dummy loading lever.
