I am a proud owner of a 51 navy and in my oppinion its the most reliable of any black powder pistol. Iv taken everything from chipmonks to coyotes with mine. Its a lethal and reliable piece of history.

Hey duelist :) What do you think about the Rogers & Spencer BlackPowder Revolver? Ever shot one? I am considering buying one, and from what I hear they're pretty darn good. Any thoughts?

Outstanding series of videos on historical firearms on this channel. These videos are the best I've seen distinguishing the various cap and ball revolvers. This Colt Navy video, in particular, helped me decide on an Uberti Navy. I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

I have a Walker Colt 44 and handle it one handed with efficiency love the weapon the Navys are nice but the .36 is wayyyyy too light

@RickAzzy Rick, I'm not sure what you mean by "Confederate Model", but if you mean a brass frame, I would avoid it in favor of a steel frame.

the metal is way to soft for my comfort. so i have to keep my loads at 22-23 grains. can i go lower without being unsafe at cowboy action shooting? you would know better than me thanks

@glynamus I think the load you're using is excellent, and shouldn't hurt the gun. But you could go down to 15 grains.
