For the first shooting with a cap and ball it was very fun, everything works smoothly. I recommend it!
Replica of a percussion-cap revolver, initially manufactured by the American firm Remington. The 1858 New Model Army is a 6-shot black powder revolver, loaded from the muzzle. The Model 1858 was the first revolver worldwide to incorporate a closed frame, enhancing both reliability and structural durability.
Constructed from stainless steel and fitted with an 8-inch barrel in .44 caliber. The grips are produced from walnut wood, while the trigger guard is crafted from brass.
The revolver is equipped with mechanical sighting systems consisting of a fixed front sight and a rear sight.
The trigger operates in Single Action mode, requiring the hammer to be cocked manually for each shot. The hammer mechanism offers two positions: half-cock for fitting percussion caps onto nipples, and full-cock for firing.
A loading lever (plunger) pivots beneath the barrel, allowing for precise seating of lead balls into the cylinder chambers.

F.lli Pietta is an Italian manufacturer from Brescia, founded in 1963 by Giuseppe Pietta, which has combined tradition with precision craftsmanship from the very beginning. In 1966, the first shotguns were produced, and by 1974, the company had gained international recognition by fulfilling a contract for 10 000 replicas of revolvers such as the 1851 Navy, Colt Army, Remington, Paterson, and Le Mat. This success cemented Pietta's position as a specialist in faithful reconstructions of 19th-century weapons. The brand was one of the first to introduce the "100% made in Italy" label, emphasizing the quality of its products. Today, run by the founder's sons, Alessandro and Alberto, it is one of the most respected manufacturers of historical replicas, chosen by collectors, reenactors, and shooting enthusiasts around the world.
