With a 9-inch round barrel and more than four pounds of heft, the original 1847 Colt Walker was built for the toughest soldiers and lawmen on the frontier. This Taylor’s & Company (MPN: 550859) reproduction keeps that same forged steel frame, brass trigger guard, and spring-retained loading-lever look, updated with a break-open action for easier reloading. The .44 caliber model wears walnut grips and a blade front sight over a color case hardened frame. Explore more in our Black Powder Pistols & Muzzleloader Pistols category.
