The gun has realistic features but cannot be modified to fire actual bullets ( please note orange plug on barrel end ). Although the revolver replica being sold is not a licensed Colt product, it follows the detail of the Colt manufactured .36 caliber revolvers that were common during and following the Civil War.

Famous individuals who carried the Navy revolver include Wild Bill Hickok, John Henry "Doc" Holliday, Ned Kelly, Robert E. Lee and Quantrill's Raiders. The guns were so popular and reliable they continued to be used long after more modern cartridge revolvers were introduced in 1873.
