Preface: I am retired on a fixed income, and can only afford one pistol per year.
I went to the Pietta 1851 Navy .36 type pistols because of the interchangeability of parts. All repros shown below. The first three are original Pietta pistols from Cabela's. The rest are mix and match guns.
1851 Navy Second Model Squareback TG (even though the load-lever pivot screw enters from the left, which is not historically correct)
Griswold and Gunnison
1851 Navy 3rd/4th Model (depending upon TG size/shape)
Leech and Rigdon
Schneider and Glassick
My favorite 1851 Navy fantasy pistol: a Navy .36 Second Model Dragoon
Caveat: all six pistols were created from three original pistols just by swapping frames, barrels, and cylinders.
If Alessandro Pietta or his reps are monitoring, I believe there is a market for a Dance .36 based on an 1851 Navy .36 frame. I want one. The Dance .36 is historically correct. Pietta produces a Dance .44 on a modified 1851 frame (in which the water table is not cut for a rebated cylinder but is lowered) for the non-rebated Pietta cylinder that is much larger than a Pietta .36 Navy cylinder.
