The .45 Colt cartridge, introduced in 1873, provides manageable recoil and effective terminal ballistics for medium-game hunting and target shooting. The color case-hardening process isn’t just cosmetic; it creates a hardened, wear-resistant surface on the critical steel receiver. This rifle’s side gate allows for tactical reloads without interrupting the lever cycle, a functional upgrade to a classic design.
