Smith & Wesson Adds .45 Colt to the Model 1854 Series

At the time Smith & Wesson introduced the Model 1854 series, .44 Rem. Mag. was the caliber offering of choice. But now the rifle is also available in the iconic .45 Colt cartridge. The Model 1854 series is designed to strategically blend the classic aesthetic of the American lever gun while incorporating modern enhancements. Models are offered in a paired synthetic black polymer and stainless-steel finish, as well as a walnut furniture combination with Armornite finish.

These rifles are designed with a 9+1 capacity, include a threaded 19¼-inch barrel and boast a crisp and smooth action that is also tough enough to stand up to use in the field.

The Model 1854 comes with additional features out of the box, such as a 4¾-inch Picatinny base for mounting optics, an adjustable XS Sights ghost ring rear sight, a gold bead front sight, flat-face trigger design, and removable magazine tube that allows you to safely unload the rifle.
