 With a 9-inch, round barrel and weighing more than four
pounds, the Colt® Walker was a weapon for the toughest soldiers and
lawmen on the frontier. Prior to the introduction of the .357 Magnum in
1935, no revolver was more powerful. Inspired by Captain Samuel H.
Walker of the U.S. Mounted Rifles, it fired .44 caliber balls “cast 32
to the pound.” The deadly effects of the Walker’s power during the
Mexican War proved once and for all that revolvers had a place in
battle. Features a blue finish and case-hardened frame. R&D Conversion
Cylinder available; see pages 18-19. |
