Spend more time shooting and less time shopping
Great for black powder beginners and muzzleloader pros alike, Traditions Firearms' 1858 Army Revolver Redi-Pak includes everything you need to relive the harrowing battles of the American Civil War or the lawless shootouts of the Wild West, all in one convenient package! The included .44 caliber black powder revolver is a fully functional, historically faithful reproduction of the iconic Colt Army Model 1858, considered "the future of revolvers" in its day.
A true icon among historical revolvers
The 1858's top strap, full frame design made it one of the toughest available at the time, and the dependable handgun was highly sought after by both the blue and gray in the Civil War. Following that bloody rebellion, the 1858 could long be found across America's oft-turbulent frontier, as well, from remote Army outposts to rowdy saloons.
Classic appointments, modern dependability
Traditions' working replica provides an authentic 19th century shooting experience and features myriad fine, historically accurate appointments - 8" octagonal blued barrel, brass frame, brass guard, top strap/post sights and walnut grip. But unlike its more-than-150-year-old original counterpart, you can count on this modern black powder revolver to fire safely and aim true every time, when used as directed.
Redi-Pak has everything you need - including convenience and value
Best of all, the handy Redi-Pak includes everything you’ll need to start shooting right out of the package - round balls, nipple wrench, cleaning swab, brass flask, #11 brass capper, brass powder measure, bore cleaning solvent, cleaning patches and Wonderlube. Just provide your own black powder.
Ideal for beginners, pros and every shooter in between
With all you need in one place, the Redi-Pak is an easy way for black powder beginners to get started in this exciting, centuries-old sport and yields lots more fun and much less hassle for muzzleloader shooters of all skill levels! The Redi-Pak also represents a tremendous value versus buying the individual components separately. Want to give a black powder gun to a friend or family member but are clueless about muzzleloaders and the necessary accessories? The 1858 Army Revolver Redi-Pak offers a painless, foolproof solution, making an outstanding gift for a history buff, Civil War re-enactor, black powder enthusiast or firearm fan in your life.
