This is a .44-caliber single-action revolver with a six-shot cylinder and an 8-inch octagon barrel. It is a cap-and-ball design patterned on the 1858 New Model Army, and the frame is blued steel with walnut grips. The sights are adjustable at the front and rear, and the gun has no manual or trigger safety. The listing describes it as a black powder handgun for classic muzzleloading.
For a California buyer, the revolver suits range shooting where the adjustable sights matter, because a shooter can dial in the load and distance over several sessions. The black powder format appeals to people who want classic handling without modern ammunition. As a new handgun, it must appear on the Department of Justice Roster of Certified Handguns, so confirm the listing before you order.
