The Taylor’s & Company 1860 Army Snub Nose (Taylor’s part no. 200017) takes the traditional full-size 1860 Army and cuts it down for a lighter, better-balanced carry revolver with improved ballistics for its size. A fluted cylinder and a barrel without a loading lever keep weight down, while comfortable checkered flattop birdshead grips make this 3″ break-open model easy to handle. It ships with a brass loading tool and features a color case hardened frame with a blued barrel and cylinder. See more compact revolvers in our Black Powder Rifles & Muzzleloader Rifles category.
