The Walker Colt is a monster. Uberti's 1847 Walker replica has a 9 inch barrel, six chambers in .44 caliber and a case hardened frame with walnut grips. It is a black powder revolver, the type loaded with powder, ball and caps rather than cartridges, and it is famous for its size.

Historians say the original Walkers were so heavy that they were carried in holsters on the saddle. Uberti's replica keeps that weight, and you'll feel it. It is a gun for the range and for display, rather than for carrying on the hip.

Shooting a Walker takes patience. Measure the powder, seat the ball and put on the caps. It takes time, but black powder fans enjoy every step. Clean up with warm water and a brush after the session.

Check your state rules, since black powder revolvers are treated differently from cartridge guns in some places. Here they ship to an FFL dealer.
