Shooting Pietta's 1861 Navy Revolver


Recommended Posts

I put together a video on Pietta's 1861 Navy replica. In the video I load and shoot the 1861 with a variety of projectiles. You'll see round balls, Kaido Ojama's outstanding conical bullets, and you'll aslo see me load it up with John Gurnee's museum quality paper cartridges.

 

Admittedly, the video is kind of long, so I hope it is good enough to hold your interest and make it worthwhile.

Boy that Pietta shoots so much better than mine,I'm lucky to put two out of five shots on a piece

11 x 8.5 paper at 7 yards.

A ball leaving the largest cylinder mouth is 13 thousand to small to even touch the top of the lands on

it's trip down the bore...

 

I tried may times and ways to get Pietta to make the gun right put they said "it's with-in manufacturing Specs"...
