Black-Powder Firearms

These are firearms that use black powder as the propellant, with flintlock or percussion-cap ignition, typical of the 18th and 19th centuries. Our catalogue includes both original pieces and faithful replicas, such as Uberti revolvers based on the Colt 1851 and 1860 models.

The legal status varies depending on the model, its age and whether the firearm is an original or a replica. For each product, we confirm which documents are required under Law no. 295/2004 before you buy.

Some original firearms are still functional, but they should be inspected by a gunsmith before use. Modern replicas are made for shooting, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
