Cheap Black Powder Revolvers
This review of the Pietta 1851 Navy Sheriff's Model highlights its affordability at $150, featuring a brass frame and blued finish. While the bore is clean, common issues like cap jams and ignition failures due to weak caps or dirty nipples are noted. The short loading lever and smaller grip on the Sheriff's model make it less ergonomic than standard 1851 or 1860 Army models, especially for beginners.
