Replica Old West M1873 Quick Draw Revolver - Non-Firing, Antique Finish

There are two reasons for only sending 5 bullets. When these first came out, cowboys soon found out if riding a horse and if you got bucked off,and there was a live round in the cylinder under hammer, there was a good chance to shoot yourself in the foot, (OR worse) if your horse stumbled or bucked you off! People soon started carrying only 5 live rounds with the 6th cylinder empty. Secondly, these are a display piece and 5 bullets with one empty under hammer will show just fine without seeing the empty one..

wish i'd known this one was 2 1/2 inches shorter so i could have had a pair-got the cav model,then this one..not a match--but i won't spend the xtra money to get a pair and then have three--questioned the phone person as to the number in the catalog cuz it was different than the pamflet inclosed with the gun--my question was did i get what i saw & ordered from the catalog......S

This is an excellent replica. In case you are wondering about the difference between this and the .45 Cavalry revolver, also offered by Budk, this one's barrel is 2 1/8" shorter than the Cavalry revolver. Otherwise, they are identical - pewter-colored metal frame and wood grips.

I bought two of these Western six shooters, for me an my Gran son. It only took a week to get my guns. Me an my gran son were pleased.It looks,and feels real.works just like the colts six shooters from long ago.You can rotate the cyl,load the dummy bullets,eject bllets and can be even a fanner gum Not double saction but single.Dummy bullets dont come with gun,but got 6 not five,they fit and rotate perfect. Want to get a real six shooter for home protection,but this is an affodable way town a piece of cowboy heritage.Bud k was the lowest price on theese to.

Excellent ,inexpensive, replica of 4 3/4 inch bbl Colt Frontier Six Shooter. Circa 1880. Got a pack of dummy bullets with it. Mine contained 6 bullets. They fit just fine and loaded and ejected like the real thing. Checked other sources for this gun but Bud K had the best price. Nice gun. You can draw,cock, and fire and the cylinder rotates like a real one.

This is a VERY VERY nice piece. I was even more impressed when I received it in the mail and opened it up. At first I though the handle from the picture was a lookalike plastic wood handle but its real wood! However I wish some bullets came with it. And the bullets that you can buy are only 5 bullets and this is a six shooter. Thats messed up...

This is a very well crafted replica revolver. Nice feel to it, nice weight, overall 10/10. I recommend this pistol to all replica gun enthusiasts.
