It's a whopper. It weighs a little over 4 ibs. Makes a big boom, too!

I've been eyeballin' an 1851 Navy, so this thread is topical.. [mention]Kevin Keith[/mention], You pretty satisfied with the build on the Pietta? I have been going back and forth between them and Uberti.. or Possibly the CImarron(which I think is built for them by Uberti). The internet forum gun snobs say Pietta's have some fit and finish issues, but I am not sure if this is legit. What say you?

I have both Pietta and Uberti pistols and am very happy with both brands. You're right, Cimarron gets their guns from Uberti. You can't go wrong with a .36 Navy!

Mr Hout I've owned a Pietta 1858 Remington for about 5 years. It has around 200 rounds through it without any issues at all. From a rest at about 35 yards it'll group around 2 inches for 3 shots. I'm very happy with it.

Finally ended up with an 1860 Army in .44. Excited to shoot it this weekend.

The 1860 Army is my favorite BP revolver...I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine!

I am sure I will love it. I had no intention of buying one today, but I stopped in a local shop that specializes in BP and Surplus trying to find 9x18Mak, and then got to talking about revolvers with the Owner. He started handing them to me, and I walked out fully set up, and honestly not much poorer for it. I gotta say, black powder is economical if nothing else.

In 1968, my high school, located in The Bronx, NYC.... had a rifle team! We were allowed to bring our rifles, to school...with no problems.

I mourn the countless freedoms that this country has lost.... and I'm heart-sickened by the fear, the reality, of what's coming.
