Uberti 1875 No. 3 Top Break 7" -45LC

True to the originals, UbertiTop Break Revolvers come in 3 models, including the Russian Model with Cyrillic barrel stampings. The U.S. Cavalry was slow to see the merits of the top break, but Jessie James, John Wesley Hardin, and Wild Bill Hickok saw the fast reloading capability as a distinct advantage in their line of work. After numerous trials, the U.S. Army finally purchased three thousand top breaks with an improved top latch design. Major George Schofield designed theTop Breakas a cavalry pistol. Its efficient, break-open design could be operated with one hand. That made it easy to eject the spent cartridges and reload while on horseback.
