The Navy got its name from the special engraving that most of the revolvers were produced with, which depicts the battle of Campeche in 1843 between the Republic of Texas and Yucatan against the nation of Mexico. Despite its name, it was rarely used by the actual United States Navy, and the gun's .36 caliber, 2.6lbs, and 14in length made it impractical to carry around on a ship or during battle. It's estimated that around 270,000 of these models were produced in the United States and the United Kingdom.
