Typical settings: American Civil War films, Mexican-American War–era flashbacks, cavalry scenes, frontier epics, and classic Western storytelling.

This non-firing replica revolver is modeled after the Colt Dragoon, a powerful .44-caliber percussion revolver designed by Samuel Colt in 1848 for mounted U.S. Army units known as dragoons. The Dragoon was developed specifically to address the mechanical and handling issues of the earlier Colt Walker, resulting in a more reliable and manageable cavalry sidearm.

Historically, Colt Dragoon revolvers were issued to U.S. Army mounted riflemen and dragoon regiments and quickly gained a reputation for power and durability. Although introduced shortly after the Mexican–American War, they remained popular throughout the 1850s and saw continued use during the American Civil War, both with soldiers and in civilian hands. Their size and stopping power made them especially favored by mounted troops and frontier fighters.

Cinematically, the Colt Dragoon represents the apex of early percussion revolver design. Film and television often use it to signal raw power, authority, and early frontier warfare, particularly in cavalry and pre–Civil War Western settings. Its large frame and unmistakable profile immediately distinguish it from later, lighter revolvers.

This non-firing replica features an engraved cylinder, wooden grips, and a simulated loading and firing mechanism with a rotating cylinder. With a 7-inch barrel and an overall length of approximately 10 inches, it captures the imposing proportions of the original. Finished in an engraved grey tone, it is set safe and intended for film, television, theater, rehearsal, reenactment, and display use only.
