M1859 SHARPS CARBINE PERCUSSION RIFLENobleWares Image of Denix 1142 Non-firing replica of 1859 Sharps Carbine Percussion Rifle 1142 Denix
The Sharps Rifle was produced by the Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company in Hartford, Connecticut. Due to it's smaller size and new breech loading mechanism, the carbine version was very popular with the cavalry of both the Union and Confederate armies and was issued in much larger numbers than other carbines of the war. Almost 90,000 were produced. By 1863, it was the most common weapon carried by Union cavalry regiments. Well preserved originals are now rare and expensive.

Sharps rifles are a series of large-bore single-shot rifles, beginning with a design by Christian Sharps in 1848, and ceasing production in 1881. They are renowned for long-range accuracy. By 1874 the rifle was available in a variety of calibers and had been adopted by the armies of a number of nations and was one of the few successful designs to transition to metallic cartridge use. Reproductions of the Sharps rifle are currently very popular as the rifle has become an icon of the Old West due to its use in a number of movies and books in the Western genre.
