Finally shot my 1851 Navy today and between it and my 1858 Pietta... I'm gonna stick with the '58. The New Model Army just feels better in the hand for me, it doesn't jam up like the Navy does, it has never misfired on me like the Navy did several times today, it shoots better, it has better sights, it's faster to reload and easier to reload. It is just a superior design and firearm.
I'm glad I bought and tried the '51 Navy because I got it new for $80 and I wanted to try a Colt style cap and ball revolver and had been thinking about getting the 1862 Pocket Police, but I thought better about it and got the less expensive 1851 and said to myself that "if I liked it, I'll get the '62."
Well, I didn't like it and it will be my last open top cap and ball revolver I ever buy.
