The Colt 1849 Pocket Revolver could be considered the little brother of the massive Walker 1847 Revolver. At the time of its creation, the concept of carrying a small hidden handgun was nothing new, but was almost exclusively single-shot muzzle loading derringers. The 1849 Pocket Revolver’s ability to fire five shots without reloading represented a massive leap forward in firearms technology, and paved the way for modern day concealed carry. This easy to hide pistol was a massive success in the civilian market, and was a popular choice for Civil War Officers who wanted a small repeating handgun for personal defense. Even as metallic cartridge firearms became more common, the 1848 Pocket Revolver remained in widespread service up until the 1870s.
Uberti’s 1849 Pocket Revolver is an authentic reproduction of the original down to the last detail, including a case-hardened frame, brass trigger guard, metal bead front sight, and engraved cylinder.
