A couple of questions abou the 1858 New Army Police .36 Caliber Revolver from Cabelas. At $199.00 it seems like the best deal for the Remington .36 caliber revolver.
However, I noted that MidwayUSA has a Pietta 1858 Remington .36 Navy revolver for $48 more; but it has a longer barrell of 7 3/8. The Cabelas Pietta that I am looking at is a 6.5 inch barrell. Does anyone know if there is much difference in accurancy with these 2 different revolvers? I am just wondering if the Midway Pietta with a longer barrell is worth an extra 48 bucks?
Also, if anyone has the Pietta 1858 Remington .36 caliber revolver what load goes best in this gun? I have decided on the .375 diameter because it is the only swagged lead ball that is available. Any suggestions from your experience with this pistol?
