The Hickok model is a modern twist on the classic Open Top that features a snub nose barrel. This model features a case-hardened forged steel frame round barrel with front blade sight no ejector rod blued steel grip parts an Army-sized walnut grip and a rear sight notch on the rear of the barrel. – Action Type Single action – Backstrap Finish Blued steel – Barrel Bore Diameter 0.442 – Barrel Contour Round – Barrel Finish Blued steel – Barrel Grooves 6 – Barrel Length (in) 3.5 – Barrel Twist & Rotation RH 1×16 – Caliber .45LC – Capacity 6 – Cylinder Finish Blued steel roll engraved – Firing Pin Type Traditional on hammer – Frame Finish Casehardened steel – Front Sight Fixed blade – Grip Finish Walnut – Grip Shape Army – Overall Length (in) 9.3 – Rear Sight Rear sight notch on top of barrel – Safety Type Manual hammer bar safety – Taylor Tuning Option Taylor tuning available – Trigger Type & Pull Single trigger – Triggerguard Finish Blued steel
