36 colt navy. I’ve got a repro that I shoot a lot. Hickok was a dead on shot and he got that way by practice and knowing his gun. They all have their differences in drift. Knowing what load is most accurate for your particular gun is very important if you want to throw lead on target the old fashioned way. Speed of draw isn’t as important as accuracy. In a gunfight its the man who has nerves of steel that usually comes out alive. The Hollywood scene of two guys squaring off in the street is mostly BS. It did happen but very rarely.
I’m on a buying spree lately and I want another Navy just like the one I already have. I found a possible candidate at my local gunshop and if it matches, it’s going home with me.
It was no good on the Navy .36 at the gunshop. Some idiot lost some of the screws and replaced two of them with Philips heads. It was awful. I didn’t notice when I saw the gun for the first time.
I’ll keep looking for a good one under 180 dollars. I hope to find something with a tall front sight.
