- In this video we’ll take a look at the revolvers used by the Confederate Army during the Civil War.
The South lacked the massive firearms manufacturing capability that the north possessed. So, the confederacy was forced to buy most of the revolvers they needed in Europe, and run the blockade with them, to get them into the hands of Confederate soldiers.
Some southern manufacturers also stepped up to start making revolvers for the cause. Largely they were unsuccessful, but a few companies produced enough to be notable.
There’s actually a Kerr revolver used in the movie “Gettysburg,” which was in the hands of a Confederate officer and pointed at Chamberlain at the conclusion of the Battle of Little Roundtop
I've been enjoying this series on the USA confederate and pocket guns all from this time period
Thanks Mike! I'll keep saying it, these long-format videos are
To my eye, the LeMat revolver is the most beautiful revolver of the period.

Honestly as a person from Texas I really love your series on the Texas rangers that you did. This is absolutely a great historic gun channel.
love the csa content
I'm the 78 to watch this video on the day (morning) of 8-4 of release,. Thank you Mike for a great history lesson .
good video! i am in SC, born here 65 years ago, i love the civil war history,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mike, thanks for another great history lesson on the arms of the Civil War.
Thank you for another most interesting video, Mike. I like all the videos that you do, but these sit-down history lessons just might be my favorites. Having seen just the repos of these Southern revolvers, I have never been interested enough to purchase one. Mostly, I suppose, because I'm primarily a Colt guy. But now, seeing the various Confererate models placed in historical context, the repos have become more interesting and attractive to me.
Great video. I personally like the tilt on the Griswold and Gunnison. it does make it easier to naturally point and AIM in my opinion. In a way its kind of like holding a flintlock pistol.
Great video, Mike. I had heard of the major ones, but did not know they were actually used by the CSA. The LeMat especially. Others I did not know about. I knew there were others, mostly from one of your videos, but did not know their history. Keep up the great work and educate us in our history.
There is a Texas Historical Monument on Belt Line Rd close to Lancaster Rd. Dedicated to the gun mfg facility Tucker and Sherrard. I lived there for many years and saw that sign almost everyday. No bldg remains,just the monument. Great presentation btw.
Exceptional presentation Mike. I've learned more about firearms watching your videos, than I have anywhere else.
I really appreciate your RUclips channel and the time that you put into making the videos. I love the history lesson that you give about each gun that you show and shoot on the channel. They are always very interesting and informative. Thank you Mike.
Excellent video Mike. An often overlooked and underappreciated topic of American history.
If you ever find yourself in the Cumberland Gap, Tn area, Lincoln Memorial University has a museum containing lots of original firearms from this era! They feature arms used by both sides, as well as many other Abe Lincoln affiliated artifacts!
Great video. I am surprised by how few Revolvers were available. They must of been highly prized.
Your historical videos just keep getting better as you go. Keep it coming. No one else is really doing this.
