The 1860 Army features a lighter weight, improved balance, and superior ballistics. The 1860 Army Snub Nose takes a smaller size twist on the traditional full size 1860 Army. It utilizes a fluted cylinder, and a barrel without a loading lever. The Snub Nose model also features very comfortable checkered flattop birdshead grips. Included is a brass loading tool. This 44 cal model has a 3" blued barrel, color case hardened frame, and a blade front sight.
