Traditions 1851 Navy Revolver 44BP 7.38" Hammer/Blade Walnut Grip Blue

Just got back from the range and dropped a quick 50 rounds through this Sweet Shooter. What a blast!! My first Black Powder firearm so as a novice in that regards I had no problems loading nor firing it. I was using .454 Hornady Round Balls on top of 27gr (by volume) of Pyrodex and #10 CCI caps. Got a number of nice groups of 2-3" (will get better when I get use to the sights) and not a FTF one. Love this Revolver so much I had to pose her for a photo after cleaning. If you buy this KIT you just need Powder & Caps for your first rip to the range as it comes with 18 RB... Sweet!

This black powder kit includes everything you need except powder and caps. Very good quality and a lot of fun.

This is a brass framed gun, so won't last very long. Also, it's a .44 caliber, so it's not authentic, but more like a half Colt Army (.44 caliber), half Colt Navy (navy cylinder scene). To be a Colt Navy, it has to be a .36. And to shoot a lot with, it's got to have a steel frame, not a brass one.

Bought it because everything I needed was in the pack, not knowing anything about black powder guns. Did a little more research and had a buddy show me how to load it, and now I'm hooked; it was an experience.

I got this kit some years back, because it had most of what I needed to get started. I have put more than 1500 rounds through it and it still shoots very well. I have had no issues getting .451 or .451 round balls for it. I normally use pyrodex and 25 grains. Not sure why folks say the bras frame doesn't last long (and I do love the way it shines up).

For “Ron” and others looking at brass framed black powder firearms: If you WANT a .44 Magnum, go BUY a .44 Magnum. A brass frame will hold up just fine with standard loads. I have thousands of rounds through mine with zero issues. Also, we KNOW the history of the Colt Navy and the fact it was a .36 caliber. But guess what size of projectiles are far more available on store shelves? .44, available at most, if not all firearm / firearm accessories retailers.

Just started working with black powder pistols again. This percussion cap pistol has been a perfect catylis to get me back into bp. Never had much luck with flintlocks. Absolutely adore the percussion cap. Lots to learn about different black powders, ball sizes, percussion cap sizes, and lubricant.

This firearm is not historically accurate. However if you don’t over charge your shots it should last thousands of shots. I have seen similar brass frame revolver with about 3500 shots and not loosening at all. 1851 Colts were in .36 not .44
