Now we're getting down to the brass tacks of reenactment gear. The replica weapons of the Civil War. As a reenactor you'll want to have your guns and associated gear looking as real as possible. Well, the answer to that is easy now days. All of the Civil War weapons are available on the Internet as replicas of the original. Whether you're looking for a replica of an early musket, a rifle or a pistol chances are you can find it online.


One great example of Civil War pistols would be the M1860 Army Issue Revolver. The gun was a .44 caliber, six shot, front-loader that took linen or paper cartridges. Another example is the Model 1861 Navy Issue six shot cap and ball revolver that fired .36 caliber balls. Of course, you'll be needing bullet molds, reenactment paper cartridges, belts and holsters to go with these pistols. All weapons and the required gear for these weapons can easily be found in our store's Civil War Weapons pages.
