Description
The Pietta™ 1851 Navy Yank Pepperbox Revolver is modeled after the original pepperbox pistols. The first Pepperbox Revolvers originated in the 1500s and used matchlock mechanisms. With the advent of pin-fire cartridges, the pepperbox regained some popularity in the late 1800s as a small, concealable weapon.
Pietta’s replica 1851 Navy “Yank” Pepperbox is a .36 caliber black powder pistol that shoots directly out of the six-shot, 3” cylinder (no barrel). Making this pistol a blast to shoot!
