Excellent Buy
Date:December 12, 2012
As always Cabelas sells only the best products for the price and this is one of them. My only complaint is there should be a round ball mould in the shooters kit.

I found the 1860 Army to be a very good value. Workmanship was commensurate with price and the pistol was finished nicely.

Well Satisfied
Date:April 23, 2012
My first firearm purchase. Had to learn from scratch but getting better. Gun seems high quality, starter kit was nice.
Been out to the range 4 times with it so far....does seem to shoot a little left, right, high and low but I'm thinking my old eyes have more to do with that than the gun!
It's been a load of fun to own...and the service from Cabellas was very good with the gun arriving a bit ahead of schedule.

Lots of fun
Date:March 28, 2012
The Colt 1860 Army is a lot of fun to shoot. It's also well made, nice fit and finish. I recommend the starter kit.This was my first cap and ball revolver and the kit gave me every thing I needed to shoot except powder and caps.

Art Deco Revolver
Date:December 7, 2011
I bought one of these from Cabela's a few years ago. I once read a description of the 1860 Army as being 70 years ahead of itself in terms of industrial design, and the author described it as an Art Deco-like design. I agree. The housing for the rammer gives it that look...very streamlined. It's well-balanced with a grip that fits the hand well, although it's difficult for me to sight through the hammer notch (I prefer the Remington New Army for cowboy shooting applications.# I prefer Pietta's more authentic-looking grips to Uberti's red-stained wooden grips. My only complaint about this model is that, like other Colt-style percussion revolvers, it doesn't lend itself to using a loading tool, or easily swapping out a cartridge conversion cylinder #as in the Remington 58 design) because the barrel wedge must be removed first. Nonetheless, it shoots well and is a beautiful gun, with its case-hardened frame, richly blued cylinder and barrel, and attractive grips, not to mention the streamlined rammer housing. It was a highly regarded weapon during the Civil War and was used in its original configuration out west well into the cartridge era.

1860 Army .44
Date:April 7, 2010
If your into something new and different, this is the revolver for you. Quite accurate out to 25 yards. Only drawbacks are the time it takes to load and sharp edges on the grip areas of the frame and grips. Start up kit comes in handy for new black powder shooters like me. The problem I encountered with the kit was proper loading and use of the primer cap tool since there are no written instructions.
Highly recommend purchasing an extra cylinder.

First time black powder
Date:April 4, 2010
First time purchase of a black powder revolver and mightily impressed with quality, service and value for money for this 1860 Colt Army from Cabelas. Very smooth action, great feel and everything about it looks and feels right. Got so carried away purchased the small presentation case (looks superb and fits just right) and enough powder, caps and slugs to keep me going for quite a while.

First time with black powder
Date:February 8, 2010
This is the first black powder firearm I have ever owned or purchased so it was a bit of a new experience for me. I can tell you however that I was not let down. The quality of the firearm is outstanding and the workmanship and finishing of it is top notch. It’s amazing that it can be produced for such a reasonable cost with such quality. If you are in the market for one you will not be let down.

I love it, the only bother is that the spent caps sometimes get caught in the revolver, but maybe I just need better caps!?

Smooth and flawless
Date:September 27, 2009
I purchased this gun about a year ago. Since then I have fired over a thousand rounds without any flaws. I have been ordering from Cabela’s for over twenty years, products ranging from camping equipment, clothing and firearms. The customer service is top notch, and this firearm is a true example of how dedicated Cabela’s is to quality. I would highly recommend the Army 1860 for anybody wishing to enter the joy of firing a black powder.

Wanted to keep it!
Date:December 25, 2008
This reproduction was purchased as a gift for our son. I couldn't help opening it to inspect it when it arrived. I was very pleased with it's looks and construction. I really wished I could keep it and give him something else!
It's beautiful and our 30 year old son is has been wanting something like this for a long time. We're both excited at the prospect of shooting it ASAP. It'll be our first venture into black powder shooting. He says he'll let me use it too, but I really want to get another one for myself!
