The Pietta 1858 New Model Army Target is a faithful reproduction of one of America's most iconic Civil War–era revolvers, built for shooters who want authentic black powder performance paired with practical accuracy features. This .44 caliber 6-shot revolver combines historical design with deliberate improvements for the range: the 8-inch blued octagonal barrel delivers the classic profile and sight radius, while adjustable front and rear sights let you dial in your load and shooting distance without guesswork. If you're into traditional black powder shooting, reenactment, or just want a historically grounded revolver that actually shoots straight, this Pietta delivers on both counts.
Built on a steel frame with a walnut grip and brass triggerguard, the 1858 New Model Army Target sits somewhere between pure nostalgia and practical shooter. The octagonal barrel is period-correct, but the adjustable sights mean you're not locked into the point-of-aim compromises of the original. That matters whether you're working up loads at the range, preparing for an event, or simply want a black powder revolver that groups reliably. Pietta has been making these for decades and knows how to hold tolerances.
This is a cap-and-ball revolver—you'll be measuring powder, seating balls, and managing percussion caps the old way. If that process appeals to you rather than deters you, you already know what you're getting into. The adjustable sights and solid steel construction make it one of the more shooter-friendly reproductions of the type.
