Uberti 1847 Walker Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Beautiful big iron

Very heavy pistol nearly half the length of my arm, I can see why they called them "horse pistols." Excellent finish on the steel and the wood, and the cylinder has a nice print on it. The only complaint I could make is that the sharp edges had

Great Gun

Beautiful weapon. A real heavyweight, which makes the muzzle a bit heavy, but makes for a mild recoil. A real hoot to shoot. Uberti seems to have solved the loading lever problem, with a beefier spring, without altering the makeup of the replica. Had no p

Great place to buy Uberti

I have bought 3 Colt Uberti Walkers from Cabelas over last 15 years. Two this year. I appreciate Cabelas customer service on returns with BP firearms. Though never had any! Remember if the cylinder seems tight you will have to tap wedge a little. Often th

This Walker Won't Hunt!

I purchased an Uberti Model 1847 Walker .44 Caliber black powder revolver for a Christmas present from Cabelas. After opening the box I checked the action of the revolver. It was inoperable. Tried to half cock by pulling back on the hammer and rotating th

Still a shooter after 22 years.

I purchased four of these revolvers back in 1994. Within the first month I sold one, returned one because the base pin became loose, and also returned the 3rd one because the latch that holds up the loading lever broke off during fire. The forth one I sti

Big Old Hand Cannon

This is a big pistol. It is a great addition to any Colt collection.

My "Josey Wales" revolvers

It was after having an opportunity to fire a friend's reproduction .44 caliber 1847 Colt Walker revolver that I decided to buy two of them and use them in Cowboy Action Shooting; Josey Wales style. When the revolvers arrived I was in the hospital recoveri

WALKER BY UBERTI

GOOD QUALITY, VERY FAIR PRICE. ONLY PROBLEM IS WHEN FIRING, THE LOADING LEVER DROPS DOWN, I USE A RUBBERBAND TO HOLD IT UP. SHOOTS GREAT AND RIGHT ON TARGET!!

First magnum

The Walker was truly the first magnum. There are many replicas out there. To me the Uberti Walker will offer the most authentic experience. You’ll know exactly what it was like for Walker and his Rangers, well maybe not exactly, but you’ll know what it’ll

Holding History in Your Hand

Fabulous gun, big and heavy and very well made. This monster is a huge conversation piece when anybody see's it. I love telling people about the history of this powerful handgun.

Great Quality, Very Accurate, Lots of Fun To Shoot

Quality is very good and the gun is extremely fun to shoot nothing like touching off 6 rounds loaded with the cylinders full of powder and I like the .457 round ball it provides more bearing surface against the rifling for better accuracy. Typically use P

LOVE THIS GUN!!

Purchased this beauty a couple of months ago from Cabelas along with an 1860. I am a Colt fan and the 1847 is a real pleasure to shoot. Accuracy is great. I couldn't do better with anything newer. GET ONE! YOU WILL LOVE IT. Yes its heavy but it doesn't bo

The 1847 Colt-Walker made by Uberti.

After holding a Colt-Walker Uberti I became hooked and had to get one. I ordered it online from Cabelas since there were none in any stores in or near Md. I got a matching holster to go with it. Within a week it arrived by UPS from W-Va.

hogleg

I am very pleased with my Uberti Walker! I also bought the Triple K Walker holster, very handsome pair.

Good tool

Accuracy range and dependability are a little above what was expected. A quality piece of workmanship. Not recommended to carry when on foot unless your related to Paul Bunyon.

A real nice gun

This replica is very well made. Solid, heavy and well machined. Nice detail on the engraved cylinder.

Just what I was lookin' for!!

This weapon is guaranteed to attract notice, both with its appearance and the noise it makes. Very well made, and accurate. I like to load the cylinder on the bench (not assembled to the gun) and initially found the barrel assembly very difficult to remov

The Walker

My first black powder gun. After collecting and shooting lots of cowboy guns I just had to get one. Right out of the box the gun looked great. After stripping it down and getting all of the oil out of it, it looked even better. Took her to the range yeste

Uberti The Best Replicas

A search online of various gun reviews and forums reveals that the Uberti replicas are the best quality, fit, finish of any brand black powder, antique firearm.

History in your hands..

This is a heavy revolver... Shoot targets with the Walker and the 1851 Navy.. Navy is a pea shooter in comparison to the Walker.. I hold this weapon and think of Sam Walker and his men riding into battle with a 4.5 lb revolver at the ready on horseback..

Texas Forever

Not (easily) available in Canada and far more expensive to buy through brokers and middlemen, Cabelas in WA was the answer! The price is excellent so I bought two (I'm asked why buy two - because I have two hands! You're going to want two - trust me!). Ou

Very accurate and fun to shoot.

This is my 5th black powder revolver, and my first Uberti. It is by far the most accurate black powder revolver I have owned, and much more accurate than my others with developed loads.

Best Rendition of the Uberti Walker

The latest run of Uberti's Colt Walker reproduction is simply their finest rendering of this classic firearm. Fit and finish is superb. Likewise, the action is smooth and the timing and lock-up is positive. To satisfy the purest, most modern markings have

Interesting firearm

The revolver worked flawlessly the first time I used it. My choice was to purchase another Walker. I made a loading stand in order to be able to load both revolvers. Using the guns gives you a real feel for the technology of the era.

A great piece of history

My wife bought this for me for last Christmas. I've wanted one since I was 18. You knew you had a real gun right out of the box, no comparison. I finally got out and experimented with it. . I started out with a meager 24 grains and went up to 50. Even che

Gun made for a man !

This is by far a Big Gun , Probably kill a grizzly ?

unable to fire weapon do to caps unavailable

My issue is not with the gun. My wife bought this revolver on sale along with another black powder pistol over three months ago. The guns have not been fired as we are unable to locate caps. Cabelas is offering several sales on black powder guns but as of

Walker 47 .44 BP

Having bought the .44 Navy (brass) first, this one is much better, though it is true that you have to keep an eye on the loading lever when shooting! (It does drop down when you put the 50 gr powder load in). Excellent gun and only had to work in the cyli

One heck of a Pistol !!

The Walker makes the other pistols look like toys ! You will get a workout shooting this firearm. Everyone should own one !

Four and a half pounds of history...and fun !

Uberti makes um, Cabela's sells um. And we enjoy um.Right out of the box, you can feel it. The 1847 Walker is different than the other cap and ball revolvers. It's weight is secure and confident, not too heavy. And every time the loading lever drops after

WOW! Huge, beautiful, heavy, worth every penny

You want to talk about a heavy revolver, this thing is a two hander for sure! Basically its the big brother of the 1860 Pietta replica. Up to 60 grain of black powder makes it a lot of fun to shoot. Had the neighbors worried because they heard the bang an

One awesome revolver!!

This is a BEAST of a revolver!I didn't realize it was so huge!

Spectacular!!

This was my Christmas present from the entire family. Everyone knew I wanted this. So far it has lived up to my expectations. I've not fired it yet, but will do so next time I go to the range. The action is smooth, the fit is excellent, and it arrived in

hand cannon

just received the uberti colt walker last week. it's one large and heavy gun!! the overall fit and finish was excellent. really close to a colt signature series walker that i already have. the only issue i had was that the action was stiff and hard to wor

Wild Boar Killer

My hunting buddy took a 225lb wild boar with a single shot using a cylinder full of 2 fg triple seven and a 148gr .457 ball. Dropped the hog like a bad habit and had a complete pass through! It was no different than when we use the 44 mag. Simply awesone!

Horse Pistol

A hoot to shoot!

What can I say that others have not already? This revolver is a great piece of work!

Lots of "BANG" for the bucks.

The price was right and the quality cannot be beat. Shipping was fast and properly packed. When it comes to Black Powder hand guns “cheep” is not the way to go. Uberti, there is no substitute.

Uberti 1847 Colt Walker

This post is the absolute truth..I purchased 2 Uberti Walkers from Cabela's around 2002 or 2003. One of them has never been loaded or fired although I know it will work just fine. The other one has seen a lot of action. (Triple Seven-.457 swaged round lea

Got one this week

It is absolutely beautiful.... You can really appreciate what a beast this must have been in 1848 when you hold it in your hand, and consider 6 shots of 60 grains of powder pushing a pure lead projectile versus a single shot muzzle loader or a Paterson.

The loading lever flopping down on recoil

Duh. Put a fairly strong rubber band over the muzzle of the gun and hooking on the loading lever. Problem solved.

The Cannon

My Colt Walker Uberti arrived in a timely fashion, approximately 2 weeks from date of order. Thecraftsmanship on the Walker is superb being similarto the other firearms I own that are Brownings. Thisa.m. we went out to the club/range where I put 24rounds

josey wales rides again

This is an outstanding replica of the walker. This pistol is handsome just to look at without shooting it. Finish was A+, no burrs or nicks, brass was polished around trigger guard on outside but not on inside, all I did was take the guard off and some br

excellent arm....

if you are interested in a black powder pistol that is authentic in virtually every detail this is IT. I will convert mine to .45 Colt centerfire as I have already done to my 1st model Dragoon....

COLT WALKER

This gun speaks for its self and it talks VERY LOUD ..I think its the best buy for the money.I use 50 gr anything less seems a little light..The huge cylinderwould not fire for me with a 30 gr load but i didnt have a wad.

1847 walker 44

The Uberti 1847 Walker Pistol is an excellent pistol. Heavy in weight. Not meant for the weakling to handle.It takes a 451 round ball with a 60 grain black powder charge, some bullet lube, and a # 10 cap just as easily as you go and get your Sunday mornin

Nice looking1847 Walker

This is an excellent looking revolver. If you like history this is a great gun to add to your collection. I had problems shooting it however. I used size # 10 caps and Pyrodex 30 grain pellets. This works great on my 1860 Army but not on this gun. The cap

UBERTI WALKER, A HUGE HAND CANNON!

I always wanted a replica Walker Colt to add to my C&B pistol collection but the price had always kept meaway.This year I decided to "Pull the Trigger" and finally purchase a Walker thru Cabela's. Their mail delivery was very fast, received

A quality firearm

I bought one of these from Cabelas and the revolver shoots like a dream! Easy to load, easy to cap. I have very large hands and it fits me perfectly and functions so well. I love to go out and shoot this gun, and often do, and I can easily keep up with th

Powerful Pistol

I love this gun. There are many reasons to buy it but value is not one of them. It is expensive. I would not recommend it as a first black powder gun. This gun is for the serious black powder shooter that knows his history and this guns place in history.

walker

exellent shooter, shoots high but thats normal. would buy another in a minute!!

Uberti Walker - Magnificent Firearm

I have held and viewed many pistols and this rates among the very best. From the bluing, wood finish and wood to metal fit a perfect 10. The wedge easily removes with a simple tap, the barrel and cylinder come off effortlessly. Hard to see why any collect

a true replica

This gun is very fun to shoot it's also very powerful. You might say it has bad traits I say it's a true replica. Such as the loading lever falls when you shoot a rubberband will fix that. This gun packs a load and I would recommend it for all avid blackp

This is the original horse pistol!

This revolver is a beast! I have no issues with it. But unfortunetly, all the original bad traits are found with this replica. Do your research on walker colts and you may opt for the 3rd model dragoon.

WALKER 44 CAL REV.

WEAPON CAME IN, WOULD NOT WORK .I COULD NOT GET IT TO FUNCTION, RETURNED TO CABELAS

Excellent

Excellent revolver and would not trade it for anything. I would recommend it to anyone.
