Product Summary

In 1871, Colt employee Charles Richards was awarded a patent for converting Colt percussion models to breech loading cartridge revolvers. The Richards cartridge conversion was an instant success. On July 2, 1872, William Mason, another Colt employee, was awarded a patent for an improvement to the Richards model.

As percussion parts ran short, the 1860 Richards-Mason barrel was changed from the profile of the earlier percussion model, to the sleek profile found on the 1871-72 Open Top. Conversion models remained popular with cowboys (many originals have imprints of fence staples on the butt) even after the introduction of the 1873 Colt®. This was due to the low cost of conversion models.

Caliber Dictionary

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
Introduce by Colt in 1871, the .44 Colt was among the earliest centerfire cartridges. It was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1871 for use in 1860 Army percussion revolvers modified to cartridge use. Although replaced just two years later by the .45 Colt, it was thus an important development. Ammunition production ceased in 1940, but due to demand by cowboy action shooters Black Hills has recently brought back a .44 Colt load. Using a .443-inch bullet from a 1.1-inch case, original blackpowder loads used a 210-grain bullet at 660 fps; Black Hills' modern load uses a 230-grain bullet at 770 fps, a credible revolver cartridge. — Craig Boddington
