Traditions 1851 Navy Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Union Army soldiers relied on many different types of sidearms for short range and close quarters combat. The revolver was unique in that it had the ability to fire several rounds per minute before having to reload. Revolvers were typically issued to officers and mounted soldiers, however some were purchased privately or found on the battlefield by infantrymen. Distinguished by its octagon barrel and lever style loader, the 1851 helped to begin both the expansion of the West and the Civil War. The 1851 Navy is commonly considered to be one of gunfighter “Wild Bill” Hickok’s favorite handguns. The British government licensed the manufacturing rights and produced what is commonly known as the London Model.

Good accessories for first-time BP revolver buyers: 1) Buy some Wonder Wads, usually found $10 per 100. They are 0.45 diameter lubricated wads to seal the chamber over powder and under ball. Also to help minimize fouling 2) Buy FFFG Triple Se7en, Pyrodex
