Smith & Wesson Announces .45 Colt Model 1854

When Smith & Wesson introduced the Model 1854 series, .44 Rem Mag was the caliber offering of choice. Starting today, shooters can own a .45 Colt Model 1854. 

S&W designed the Model 1854 series to strategically blend the classic aesthetic of the American lever gun while incorporating modern enhancements. This past year, the series received the 2024 Editor’s Choice Best All-Around Rifle, from Outdoor Life. 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 come with a 9+1 capacity and a threaded 19 ¼-inch barrel, and boast a crisp and smooth action that stands up to use in the field. The Model 1854 comes with additional features out of the box like a 4 ¾-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.

Experience the perfect blend of heritage and innovation with the Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Series, now available in .44 Rem Mag and 45 Colt.
