Only approximately 2500 total were ever built with most being privately purchased by individuals going into the War and possibly a few sold to state bulk purchases. Like many of the other large handguns of the time (Mass Arms, Metropolitans, Joslyns, Butterfields, Wesson & Leavitt Dragoons, etc), these Freeman Armys are considered as being Secondary Martial Civil War revolvers.
