Exceeded My Expectations,
June 23, 2009
By Anonymous Reviewerfrom Layton, Ut
"My first black powder gun, and it exceed and far surpassed my expectations. I turned to black powder guns because the cost of regular cartridge rounds has skyrocketed. I can't believe how accurate this gun is even shooting round balls. I am able to consistently do 4 inch groupings at 25 yards. I do practice with it about once a week. The tolerances are better then on several of my modern firearms.
Bottom-line, I've very impressed."

1851 NAVY,
May 1, 2009
By Anonymous Reviewer
"You can not go wrong with this gun. It is one of the best guns I have it shoots great and looks great. I live in a very remote place I can shoot right out the back door it is going to be hard to keep enough ball's , caps, and powder around. Soon as I save up enough cash I am going to buy my wife one. Pluss CABELA's is the best place to shop[ for black powder gun's the service was great."

Great for the money,
May 1, 2009
By Anonymous Reviewerfrom Reno, NV
"This gun is great for the money. I wouldn't use it heavily as a daily shooter, but for the beginner of for occasional outings this is great, and accuracy is very strong.
The only reason I would not call this a daily shooter, is that one has to be careful with the brass and the cleaning. I think this weapon looks great though! For an introduction to blackpowder this IS the weapon to start with. Once you get into then move to the Walker, the 1860 or 61, or others, and with steel, etc.
ONE IMPORTANT NOTE!! DO NOT use CCI caps. They jam, they don't always go off, etc. I have seen some say the hammer is too weak, etc. No, it is the caps. One doesn't want a hammer to slam down like an anvil. But the CCI #10 caps are a bit too tall, and a bit too weak.
The Remington #10 caps are the way to go. They ignite very quickly every time and rarely jam, and if they do jam, just shake the gun slightly and falls right out.
Never use #11 caps.
Also, with the wonder wads Cabelas sells, and throw some bullet lub over top of the barrels for chamber fire protection, .451 round balls you are ready to go.
So throw down 28 grains of FFFG powder, Then your wonder wad. Then your .451 ball. Then add the grease on top. Then add your REMINGTON #10 caps (again, can I say it enough, NO CCI's!) and you are ready.
This gun can be accurate out to 75 yards no problem.
For the money, this thing is great."

New ???,
April 20, 2009
By Mrdahutfrom NY
"I had to send mine back the first time it arrived. When I took it out of the box I was instantly unhappy as there where a few scratches on the brass and handle as well as a little dirt. When I looked further I noticed large amounts of carbon build up around the strike of the hammer and rust around the cylinder. I called Cabela's and arranged an immdiate return and shipped it out the next day. They turned everything around fairly fast . This was good since I needed the peice for a preformance. Sadly the replacement item was only a little bit better. NO scratches no rust still a fair amount of carbon around the hammer. I undestand the item is test fired before it is sent out but both items displayed alot more carbon then 6 shots worth.
On the other side of the coin I'm not the best shot with a pistol but it tended to go in the general direction I was aiming at. At 22grain charge the kick was negligable. If it wasnt for the condition the I recieved them in I Would gladly recomend this Pistol to anyone else at the entry level."

An excellent revolver!,
April 18, 2009
By DocDanVfrom Milwaukee, WI
"This was my second purchase from Cabelas, and I was just as pleased with this revolver as I was with the first. The quality of the piece was excellent; grips, fitting, finish were all well beyond what one would expect for the price. While I haven't fired the revolver as yet I would be willing to wager that, given the quality of this replica, it will be a fine shooter! I would definitely recommend it to anyone!"

By DarrylWB
"I bought the gun a few months ago and last weekend I finally got to shoot it. Very nice shooting gun! It is my first black powder revolver and I already have another ordered. I loaded 18 grains of Pyrodex, used #10 caps and .451 ball. Would buy another in the future."

Cheap price and a cheap gun.,
April 9, 2009
By macpaqfrom Colorado
"I have purchased two other black powder guns from Cabella's. They were both made by Pietta and were of great quality. Therefore, I had no qualms about trying this Confederate revolver. Two of the trigger guard screws and the grip screw fell out when shooting the gun. I could not put them back as the brass threads were already stripped. I had to use a tap and dye set to redo the threads before I could put the gun back together. Every other screw was loose, also. The gun suffered from hammer blowback which destroyed the timing of the cylinder. I was using Pyrodex P and loads were milder than what Cabella's recommended. This gun was poorly made. Brass is a poor substitute for the frame. It will stretch and lose its integrity soon if my gun was a representative example. I have sent the gun back and have ordered a different gun with a steel frame. The gun also shot at least twelve inches high at thirty feet! Spend a little more money and get a better quality gun."

About the Confederate Navy .44 caliber,
April 6, 2009
By Anonymous Reviewerfrom Houma, LA
"I bought this revolver about a year ago not knowing what to think. Timing and function was as perfect as possible. When I finally got time to shoot it, it was possibly at the worse time. It was last hunting season. I decided to load it with 40 grs, of FFg and .454 lead ball, and carry it on my hip in the woods. On the trail to my stand, I ran into a coyote. For some reason, at 40 yards it kept walking slowly toward me, not scared or angry. I was somewhat concerned with rabis so I shot it through the gun at 35 yards. The ball sliced the skin that held all the intestines in the belly causing them all to spill out and rupture. It died instantly. When I finally did formal shooting, I achieved 3 inch groups at 30 yards, which is good considering the bad sights."

Great intro to BP,
March 30, 2009
By anonymousone
"this is a GREAT introduction to cap and ball revolvers! I have been using 22 grains of Hogdon 777, a .454 Round ball (shaves a nice ring when you load it), and Remington #10 Primers (they fit perfectly for the stock nipples), shoots slightly high 4" at 15 yds, but i hear this is normal, and i've only put a few cylinders through it, so i can't say it was specifically the gun. Cleanup is easy shooting 777.
anyway, if you're thinking about picking one up, do it, it's great fun, and is very well made... surprising was the lack of recoil, this thing kicks less than a .38 special i think!"

This is a good black powder revolver.,
March 23, 2009
By Blackpowderforufrom Texas
"I also have the texas arm revolver and I like it alittle better(I gave it 5 stars). This one is also a good black powder revolver and for the money you can not do any better. Clean up is easy with water. After you load the gun a few time it also becomes easy. The sight is off alittle on this one but once I got use to it I can hold a tight group a 40 ft. Need to use the #10 caps #11 are to big."

Fun Gun,
March 23, 2009
By EastOregonShooter
"I bought this revolver on a lark. I have to say straight out of the box I was impressed. It looked great and fit nicely in the hand and it points naturally. The trigger is also surprisingly smooth. After finally getting a break in the weather I finally managed to take this and the 1858 Remington I bought out for a shoot. The rounds struck high and slightly to the right, but consistently in the same spot. The instructions in the box said not to use a load greater than 25 grains. With a 20 grain load, the recoil was non-existent."

Good Item After Drilling a Nipple Out!,
February 25, 2009
By jcegfrom Mountains of Western NC
"These are good cylinders but they have set and the nipples are almost impossible to get out! Ruined two nipples wrench's, then just had to drill the nipple out! All where almost seized so that's why we ruined two wrenches! Also soaking it did not help! But after drilling the nipple out and having a extra on hand everything is ok now! So you decide when you buy, what you may be getting in to!"
