cleaning up and shooting Savage-North Navy

[Malamute]

A guy on Leverguns had an orginal Savage-North Navy pistol that a dealer wanted him to clean up. He got it working and shot it, and took a short vid of it. Thought some here may enjoy seeing it.

It's a great gun, built like a tank. Some call it double action but it is lever action. I shoot mine once a year at least.

How do you think that thing would do in a fast draw contest?

Drawing - slow. Cocking and shooting - very fast. You cock the hammer and rotate the cylinder with your middle finger, which is faster than thumb cocking a hammer. Cocking the hammer does not rotate its cylinder.
Here's the sight picture (front sight missing in this pic). It's a natural pointer.
