Pietta Model 1851 Navy Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Junk

After having a number of Uberti made BP revolvers I decided to try out a Pietta made revolver. Finish is amazing I will say that but that's about where the praise ends. Upon getting it home and getting it ready for cleaning the wedge will not come out. Wh

Shoots better than I do...

Cabela's finally put this on sale and I jumped on it. It's a good shooter and works just fine with my Ted Cash snail capper.

Good gun for the money.

I give this a conditional five stars. If you are going to shoot this gun a lot, you will have mechanical issues. I've had my latest one for about 4 years now, and have out many thousands of rounds through it. With the Colt design you can expect parts to b

Pietta Model 1851 Navy "Yank" .36-Caliber Black Po

I am very happy with this revolver. I own both Uberti and Pietta revolvers and out of the six I own this is the most accurate right out of the box. The bluing is nice, wood grips have nice grain but best of all is that the case hardening is beautiful. Thi

.36 cal Models' Major Design Inconvenience

I have a year old .36 cal "Yank" .36 cal 7 1/2" barrel steel frame. I also have al Brass Frame .36 cal 5 1/2" barrel model proofed this year. Fit & finish is on par with Uberti, action is smooth and both are very accurate.

36 Cal Black Powder Pistol

If u luv shooting guns. I would recommend trying the Black Powder pistol. It takes some adjustment at first, because of the loading and re-loading, but worth it...

PIETTA MODEL 1851 NAVY "YANK" .36-CALIBER

Just needed a little touchup with Swiss needle files on wedge which was a little tight. Now it fits like glove. All other workmanship, EXCELLENT. I'm a retired Tool-Maker by trade and, I cant leave anything alone, and I'm going to fine tune and fit everyt

A piece of living history

The 1851 Navy "Yank" looks just as nice in my hand as it did in those Spaghetti Westerns. I haven't got it to the range yet, but the action and timing are perfect- even with the Taylor & Co conversion cylinder. I really enjoy handling it and

Lots of fun, even my 13yo daughter loves it!

When I retired from the Navy, my mother-in-law bought me one as a retirement gift. Little did I know how much fun it would be. In fact, my daughter shot it for the first time a couple weeks back, after the smoke cleared, she looked at me, smiled, and said

Great Revolver for your money

I'm new to the cap and ball revolver though not black powder. I wanted an affordable one not a cheap one. The Pietta Yank 1851 Navy fit the bill beautifully! Well constructed and a joy to shoot. An excellent purchase for someone looking to start into the

Pietta 1851 Navy

PIETTA MODEL 1851 NAVY "YANK" .36

High quality revolver,good fit and finish.Stiff action,needs lighter springs and smoothing of rough edges on hammer and trigger.

An unbelievalbe working object de' art.

Carried by James Butler Hickcock and famously used in Aibeline among other venues, as well as the revolver Elmer Keith ( father of the .357 and .44 magnum, Godfather of shooting stuff ) used to learn to shoot with. Finicky! You must learn to operate this

Best Bang for the Buck

In 1968 Dad came home from a gun show with an Uberti 1861 Colt, so I've grown up with a .36 cal. cap & ball revolver. It was my job to disassemble & clean it after every trip to the range. It has been fired a lot, worn internal parts have been rep

Pietta 51 Navy .36

This is probably the best value in the replica market. Great product for a fair price. I shoot a Hornady ball over a load of Triple Seven 3f and the Cabela's felt wads .You can shoot this all day which you can not do with black powder, just make sure you

Excellent quality!

I have purchased this model and several other Pietta’s in the last year or so.They have come a long way since the early 80’s and 90’s.I heard that Pietta switched to new CNC machinery around 10 years ago.The quality and precision of the new CNC machinery

The picture on this site does not do this gun justice ( sorry Cabela's ) This is one excellent made repro. and i have to say this is one of the most accurate handguns i think ive ever owned . I enjoy shooting it and wish I would have purchased one sooner

FIne Revolver With some Flaws

Well for the price If you know what You are doing You can fix just about any and every issue this Revolver has,which to me I always find challenging.

first Pietta revolver

On the advice of a shooting forum I decided to get this 1851 model. The gun is a toy for my retirement so I was wide open to giving it a real going over. Out of the box it functioned better then some other cap and ball revolvers I've had. Bolt timing is s

Very Pleased

Really happy with quality and value. A realHoot to Shoot.

collector

I will not shoot this item as it is too beautiful, as I ama collector of firearms. An excellent reproduction of aPietta Navy 1851 revolver and am glad I purchased it thru Cabelas. Thank you.

Nice Pistol For The Price

Bought this pistol right after Christmas (with gift cards I received) from Cabela's on sale. The trigger guard has a couple of small casting gas holes, the load lever pivot is sloppy side-to-side, and the grip wood protrudes above the steel frame. Overall

Pietta 36 cal 5 star

I have purchased two of these fine pieces and I am very plesed with there appearance and function both are excellent examples of the fine pieces of the past. L would say they are the finest I have purchaced. I am a collector and very pleased.

One Fun and Accurate Black Powder Revolver

Being that I am having so much fun with a Pietta New Army Remington 44 ( Item: IK-210082) that I bought for Christmas, I had to go out an buy another black powder pistol. Pietta's Model 1851 Navy .36 Caliber Revolver is just as much fun. I use a fairly li

Maybe its right for you too.

For the cost, the gun is a good buy. Everything works and the parts fit together just fine. The bluing was faded on one side of the barrel and the action was little rough. Stll the price vs the other companies is about $100 less so this pistol is a great

Quality is slipping at Pietta

I purchased this revolver as a replacement for a 44 caliber Navy I had sold some years back. When I received the revolver I immediately noticed the poor fit and finish on this revolver compared to my 2003 model. Rough scratches in the brass grip frame and

My first black powder

This is the first black powder that I have ever owned or shot. This is a very well made revolver and is pretty accurate. Balance is very good and feels very comfortable in my hand. The only problem that I have found with the revolver is that after firing

A Beautiful Revolver

The Pietta Model 1851 Navy .36 caliber revolver is my third black powder revolver purchased and it is a beauty. I've fired at least 5 loads and it is a joy to shoot and very accurate. The fit and action is very good. The case hardening is beautiful. I pur

Outstanding pistol!!

It's easy to see and feel why the '51 Navy Colt was Wild Bill Hickoks favorite pistol!! Pietta has done a great job recreating this timeless piece of shootin iron!!!Very good fit, finish and its a shooter to boot!!

GREAT 1ST BLACK POWDER GUN

BOUGHT THE 1851 COLT NAVY MODEL A FEW WEEKS AGO. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF A CLASSIC 1851 COLT REPLICA. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH MY PURCHASE FROM CABELA'S. HOPE TO CREATE A PAIR OF "MAN WITH NO NAME" PISTOLS. MY NEXT PAIR WILL BE THE 1860 C

Fine Shooter

Another fine shooter from Pietta and Cabela's. Very nice fit and finish and the color case hardening is a nice touch. Indexing of the cylinders is spot-on and lock up is tight. .36 caliber is very manageable and the gun is accurate. The trigger is the swe

Pietta 1851 Navy Colt CCH Frame

I just received the pistol today. Just like all the others it looks very nicely finished. Cylinder, hammer and trigger function well. I may or may not shoot it at some point and only gave 4 stars because of this. I'm sure it would have been 5 if I fired i

Yes it's still a fine Revolver

I will always be a Pietta customer and a Cabela's customer. I got the gun last week and the finish was super! The action a little tight and after loosening it up, I found that the bolt and hand timing was off. I found that the bolt was a hair too large to

Quality and FUN!

When I decided to purchase a black powder revolver I originally did not consider Pietta due to reviews I read on problems with their older guns. Newer reviews seemed to indicate much better quality control, so I bought this gun. Unboxing revealed a beauti

Most accurate of my collection...

Pietta 1851 Navy .36 cal.

I was fortunate enough to visit a nearby Cabelas outlet store to examine this fine handgun prior to purchase, and it was & is everything I'd hoped. Fit & finish is excellent, lock-up is tight, and the grip is the nicest looking I've seen in quite

unusable

While the revolver seems to be of very high quality, and was affordable, I have yet to shoot it, because I can't find the percussion caps necessary to fire it.

Awesome Experience

One of the best shooting experiences I've ever had. The pistol is excellent, performed flawlessly, and was spot on accurate right out of the box. Looks great as well and would make an excellent collector or heirloom piece, or functional equally as well in

Great, but not perfect!

First, I really like the 1851 Navy in .36 Cal. I shoot the Pietta's and Uberti's instead of my 2nd Gen Colts...so they are shooters. I am always trying to smooth the action on them, but the new ones are pretty darn good from the factory. The one main thin

Incredible Piece

Looking at the picture here, does not come close to doing this fine pistol justice. I can only liken this 1851 Colt repro, to a real nice piece of jewelry. Everything about the way it looks, and the craftsmanship is absolutely first rate. It functions smo

Good Value! My 1st BP gun - Real Fun to shoot!

I would recommend this gun as a good value to get into black powder.

Great Gun

Beautiful craftsmanship, great groups on target. Would buy another.

The Classic Six Shooter

I have shot this with the Cabela's muzzle-loading/black powder pistol manual's recommended 15 grains of black powder (Goex - FFFg). Though the maximum black powder charge stated by Pietta, the manufacturer, is 22 grains. I am quite content with the 15 gra

FAVORITE GUN SO FAR

Fit and finish are flawless. I noticed bead is set higher for a lower point of aim. I put the first 3 rounds through with 15 grains of pyrodex p in a cluster the size of a silver dollar. Accuracy is absolutely awesome !! this is the 3rd pietta in 36 cal I

wow.

I have several black powder revolvers, and have always been a fan of the 1858 Remington replicas. This is my first 1851 Colt, and I wasn't ready for how accurate it is. At 10 meters freehand, it makes a 5 leaf clover (yes, I know there is no such thing) o

I nice design, maybe needs quality controls more

I received my 1851 .36cal in a timely fashion, had to make some time to receive and sign for it. I bought it during a sale, so I wasn't overly concerned at some casting bubble pin hole pits in the brass, mainly the rear back strap piece clustered in sever

1851 .36 cal navy

Beautiful gun. I've own several revolvers, includeing rugers. None of them fit my hand or felt so natural to hold like this revolver. Its well balanced, pull back the hammer and you can feel how solid of a gun this is. Everything locks up great, no slop a

Excellent pistol

I purchased the Wild Bill Hickok model in the .36 cal. I should have bought two of them. Beautiful engraving everywhere and white grips. The fit and finish is perfect. I have a lot of pistols however this is my new favorite. The feel of the pistol is very

Awesome!

I bought this revolver a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't be more happy with it. I finally got around to shooting it yesterday. It shoots great. I used 18 grains of triple 7 3Fg powder, remington #10 percussion caps and the .375 round balls that came with

Pietta's are a great value

I've converted to cartride, at least a half dozen of these and have just ordered two more 51 Navy's.They are a quality product at an extremely reasonable price from Cabela's. I would recommend them to anyone. Have coverted them with Kirst and R & D (H

Great Looking, Great Shooting

So, I want to say that after having bought a navy revolver in .36 caliber, I won't own another caliber of this gun ever again. The .36 calliber is more accurate, easier to load, you get double the amount out of your lead (the ball being smaller), and the

Pietta 1851 navy

I found the revolver to be of inferior quality when I inspected it and compared it to the other B.P. revolvers that I own and use.The reasons:#1: The action timing was off. While pulling the hammer back to cock the revolver the trigger would drop into the

Pietta 1851 Navy

Pietta has improved over the years and this is a fine piece. Tight lock-up, smooth trigger, Fit and finish good overall. I do wish they would put their name on the underside of the barrel, but minor issue.Especially great value when you can catch it on sa

a blast from the past

The revolver was of excellent quality for the price. It had one small ding on the barrel, but the finish was excellent. I ended up spending more on the accessories than I did for the revolver. I took this to the range for my very first time shooting a bla

Good purchase

Revolver arrived a week ago and I'm more than happy with it.

Great Purchase

I have now purchased two of these beautiful Colt 1851 Navy black powder revolvers from Cabela's and they are superb. Fit and finish are excellent, as well as functionality.

Excellant 1851 Reproduction

Excellant finish[even blueing]In time and locks tight.Most likely better than an original one due yo modern steels.

OUTSTANDING

Well built, timing excellent, wedge worked perfectly right out of the box, easy to take apart and put together and the finish outstanding WELL DONE!!

Nice but ...

Grips were slightly bigger than the frame and sharp that could be felt when holding the pistol . Nipples and area around were rusty and deep scratch that looked like the factory had half heartily tried to buff out on case hardened area . Sorry Cabelas but

Mighty fine revolver

I've always loved the .36 Navy colt revolver. I used to own an uberti 1851 navy but I love the pietta 1851 navy colt .36 revolver i bought from cabela's in august 2011 way better. The way the cylinder spins so freely on half cock, the way the loading leve

AFTERNOON OPEN TOP DELIGHT

This was the second replica that I bought from Cabelas some years ago and since then have bought three more different models. I love this 1851 steel frame Navy .36 and have shot hundreds of rounds through it and it's still super accurate, locks up tight,

Great deal for Black powder fun!

I've had this revolver for a few months now. I wanted something authentic like Gen. Robert E. Lee and "Wild Bill" Hickok used, and this Colt Navy delivers. It points naturally, and loaded with a .380 ball, lubed wad, and 20 or so grains of Pyrod

Great Guns!

I have several Pietta C&B revolvers that I purchased from Cabelas, but this 1851 Navy Colt steel frame is my latest. I can unequivocally state that I was not disappointed. Pietta quality has improved a great deal over the past few years so that their

Good Revolver

The revolver shoots where it's aimed and the finish is good.

30 years young and still shooting like new!!!

I have owned one of these replica Colt 1851 steel frame .36 caliber revolvers since 1979. This year I finally had to replace the hand and hammer using the replacement parts kit from Cabela's. After 30 years of service and thousands of rounds this is still

Nice gun but Barrel Wedge difficult to remove

Love the gun but had a difficult time removing the barrel wedge. Here is what I did to eventually to get the wedge out:

Perfect right out of the box!!!

This is my third Pietta repro revolver. My previous revolvers were rough around the edges and the action. Using a fine file and hard rock I smoothed them up. This Navy repro exceeded all my expectations, it was perfect right out of the box. I am very plea

wow

I have never been so impressed with a pistol. I have grown up with a gun in my hand. I have never been a great shot with a pistol. I don't know if it is the perfect balance or the 7 1/2 inch barrel. I can now put all shots within a pattern the size of a q

Blackpowder Bargain!

A quality blackpowder revolver in fit and finish. Well worth the price for a steel frame revolver in a classic design.

1851 navy 36

This is the first .36 i have bought and i love it. it has a great fit and finish and some people complain about the grips being big but mine fit perfect. for the price you cant beat it.

Best Of The .36 Colts

This is my first .36 Cal pistol, I love this pistol. fit and finish is as good as it gets. Grips hang over the frame a small bit, I can fix them, or shoot it as is. I still give it five stars. useing 20 gr pistol P powder, a felt wad over powder, and .36

Great Gun for the money

This is a fine replica pistol for the money. The fit and finish is very good and makes a good display piece. The gun shoots very well out of the box, the .36 cap and ball is a fun shooter, even the wife and kid can handle it with an appropriate powder loa

Accurate reproduction of a great firearm. I love mine!

great for the price

Great replica

Its a great replica of the 1851 revolver, Its great for beginners.Its a nice piece Of American history. I keep it for collection and the price is good.

Really nice Navy .36

Received yesterday, so I haven't fired it yet. The fit and finish are excellent, much better than the 58 Remington brass frame and the 51 Navy brass frame(from kit) that I had 25 years ago. Also the sale price was only a little over double what I paid for

Awesome revolver

I used to have Remingtons, but I found than the actions on them were a little tighter than I liked. Colts have a great feel, they are ballanced well and shoot great with CCI caps. I did buy remington caps from cabelas and found they are alot cheaper in qu

.36 Cal 1851

I haven't shot this pistol yet. But I was impressed with the quality for the price. I'll probably refinish the grips but they are fine for a gun in this price range. Although tight, I didn't have any trouble removing the wedge. Not always the case with th

Exellant Revolver

This revolver is one of the best purchases I have made. Very good quality and best performance for such a reasonable price. trust me its a deal, because this revolver is being sold for less than it is worth. very accurate, reliable, and fun to shoot. wort

Impressive Gun for and Impressive Price!

Overall, I was quite impressed by the appearance and quality. The revolver seemed pretty solid and built with tight tolerances. It arrived quickly and was bathed in oil to prevent rust. It feels good in my hand and is well-balanced.

1851 colt navy

Great service, product and fast delivery. The $20.00 savings offer also a plus. Keep up the good work.

1851 colt

bought mine at cabela's about four years ago. never fired black powder out of it. bought a kirst conversion cylinder and shell ejector, and converted it to 38. long colt and 38. special wadcutters. told the kids it was a horse pistol , and they love it.

Pietta Colt 1851 Navy

For an off-the-shelf copy of the Colt Navy, it's great! Fine workmanship with a solid, smooth action, and at a really good price. An outstanding choice for a first black powder pistol or as an addition to a collection. For shootin' or just displaying you

excellent product

good service

poor workmanship

i think this was a veary poor revoler, the only thing good i can say about it was the finish was good, would not recommend anyone getting one for any use but wall hanging.

Needs some work

Pietta has a problem.The barrel wedge doesn't fit well so Pietta pounds it into place with a sledge hammer or so it seems. This is true of their steel frame 1860 Army as well. It causes a slight bulge in the metal on the right rear side of the wedge slot

Great, fun.

Great pistol. Accurate out of the box, well made, lots of fun.

The more the merrier

Being a re-enactor, I MAY never shoot live loads out of these guys.

Beautiful revolver

I was very pleased with the fit and finish of the Pietta 1851 Navy. Blueing, case hardening, and the wood grips were all excellent. The cylinder rotation was smooth, without a lot of excess play. The trigger was also smooth and reasonably light. I don't s

1851 Colt Navy .36 caliber

I just picked this gun up today and planned on shooting it tomorrow so I got right to disassembly and cleaning. First off, the wedge was inproperly fit and was forced into position. It was so tight that I needed to use a brass drift and significant hammer

An excellent pistol

My first Pietta was an 1858 new army clone I bought in the late 80's, and it's been a great shooter. My second was Cabela's 1851 navy clone. I have only fired in during one range session, but I am impressed. It locks up tight. It has an excellent trigger

1851 Navy in .36 Caliber (like the originals)

This is the 4th Pietta black powder revolver I've purchased (all from Cabelas). I'm happy with them all. The first was an 1860 Colt .44 (100% pleased with it). The second was an 1858 Remington and a spare cylinder (also 100% pleased). I can't find any fau

I always disassemble, clean and lube a new firearm when I get it home. With a plastic mallet I was able to remove the wedge that retains the front assembly. That's as far as I got. The cylinder would not slide forward on the cylinder pin more than half an

Good over all product.

Good over product. Great pointing Gun

Well made, but needs a bit of smithing

While I am very happy with the gun, there are some things a buyer should know. Internal fit and finish needs some final smoothing to really bring the gun into the area of sweet. The primary problem with this gun was the bolt is wider than the grooves in t

1851 Navy Model .36 Caliber Revolver

This is a really nice gun. The bluing is beautiful. It functions perfectly. I put 100 rounds through it already and I have not had any problems with it in regards to its function. It is really fun to shoot.

1851 Navy .36

Really great revolver. Would highly recommend it as a good starter revolver. Little longer then my 1862 police. but a really good shooter.

beautifull pistol

I like this pistol it is beautifully engraved. Shots really good also.

36 Cal. Navy

I've had this gun for a few months. I like the finish, fit, and balance. It shoots high at 10 steps, but should be on at maybe 20 steps. #11 caps hang-up in cylinder - #10 caps would be better. This is a good gun.

Sweet 36`s

I bought the Hickcock model prior to this one and was very pleased with the quality and performance. Wanted to see how the standard model measured up. She is just the same. Very happy with them and Pietti.

The little Navy that could .............

'51 Navy

Super Quality

One of the best 1851's I've ever seen!!! Great finish and supurb wood on the grips

It does have the naval battle scene onthe cylinder

I couldn't tell by the photos, but just so you all know, this revolver does have the naval battle scene engraved on the cylinder just like the original colt model. Everything else is exactly like I expected. Definitely worth the $.

This revolver represents good value for the money. Currently, Cabelas would seem to have the best price for Pieta reproductions. The extra instruction booklet that Cabelas includes is very helpful, especially in regards to min / max powder charges. This b

First off. you have to know that this weapon takes #10 caps/ not said any where, including the owners manual. Second, You must get 0375/ .36 Cal Rounds. I ordered online and got 350 Rounds. 2 small. however, Cabelas people on the phone made it right. I us

Great Gun To Have!

1851 Navy Model.36 Caliber Revolver

This revolver is made by Pietta in Italy. Many years ago I owned several cap and ball revolvers made by Pietta. The quality was so so and they all needed work to make them function smoothly. At that time Pietta was not considered the maker of high quality

Buy me

I bought this pistol a couple of months ago and finally got to use it. It quickly became one of my favorites. While I love Remington New Army's this pistol is far lighter and contrary to what everyone says the lack of a backstrap can be easily over come.

great blackpowder guns

I am a civil war reenactor so I need a dependable gun that looks historically accurate and these guns look good, feel good, and shoot great. Live firing they are great; if you want a sound gun buy these!
