In the mid to late 1800's, many former percussion pistols were converted to use the then-new brass cartridges. This reproduction 1872 Open-Top Army from Cimarron is an excellent example of the type. Preserving the graceful lines of nineteenth-century artisans while using modern metallurgical and manufacturing technology, this is one of the finest replica firearms on the market. Any cowboy-action shooter or Old West fan would be thrilled to have this in their collection.
