The Model 1892 was born from the incredible success
of the Model 1886 when it became obvious that a
smaller caliber version would be an extremely useful
addition. Like its predecessor, the Model 1892 features
dual, vertical locking lugs for impressive strength in a
more compact, even faster handling size.
The popularity of the Model 1892 is legendary.
Admiral Peary carried one on his quest for the North
Pole. It was a favorite of Annie Oakley, and the first
choice for the legendary actor John Wayne. Hundreds
of thousands of ranchers and hunters have chosen the
Model 1892 over the competition for over a century.
