Overview

The Colt New Model Revolving Rifle was one of the earliest mass-produced revolving rifles, featuring a six-shot cylinder chambered in .44 or .56 caliber. It used a hand-rotated cylinder and a hammer-mounted firing pin. Its distinctive sidehammer design helped prevent accidental chain-fire discharges.
