New Release: Smith & Wesson Introduces Model 1854 in 45 Colt

Smith & Wesson added a new addition to their line of firearms with the launch of Model 1854 chambered in 45 Colt. The Model 1854 was initially offered in .44 Rem Mag and has now been expanded to include the iconic 45 Colt cartridge. These smooth-lever guns offer a strategic blend of the classic American lever gun appeal with modern enhancements.

Features & Innovations

The prized Model 1854 series was proudly named the 2024 Editor’s Choice Best All-Around Rifle by Outdoor Life, establishing its dominance in the field. The rifles come in synthetic black polymer and stainless-steel finish, as well as a walnut furniture combination with Armornite finish. Alongside the 9+1 capacity and a threaded 19 ¼-inch barrel, the Model 1854 also provides a crisp and smooth action that proves durable for field use.

The model is packed with features like a 4 ¾-inch Picatinny base for mounting optics, an adjustable XS Sights® ghost ring rear sight, a gold bead front sight, a flat-face trigger design, and a removable magazine tube allowing safe unloading. The fusion of heritage and innovation in the Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Series is a game-changer, now available in both .44 Rem Mag and 45 Colt.
