I am contemplating getting an 1851 Navy .36 caliber. I want something that I might use for skirmish shooting in the future.
I currently have an Uberti 2nd model Colt Dragoon. An excellent quality reproduction firearm that shoots a little high; but is fun as I load it up more that the 1860 Army I used to have. For accuracy, I have a Pietta 1858 Remington .36 caliber. Very accurate pistol. Just wondering if the .36 caliber was more accurate than the .44 caliber. Since I have the Dragoon for power; I am wanting a Colt with increased accuracy.
I used to have a Pietta 1858 Remington in .44 caliber that I bought in the early 90s; but the quality was terrible. Have to hit the pin with a rubber hammer just to get the cylinder out. I would any opinions on the 1851 Colt Navy .36 caliber. Who makes the best quality model for shooting and durability? Uberti or Pietta? What is the accuracy factor of the Navy vs. the Army? I have heard that the Navy was more accurate and more popular. Don't know if this is true for NSSA shooting. Thanks for any opinions and feedback.
