The 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars received Sharp's Carbines in 1857 and used them for about ten years. It appears the Sharp's gave good service during the Indian Munity. The 7th Hussars used them at Lucknow in 1858. When the 7th Hussars were issued Snider breech-loading carbines in November of 1868 their Sharp's Carbines were put in storage.
