Fellow shows and tells an original Civil War-era Savage Navy revolver, shoots it, AND disassembles it so we can see how the action works.
Definitely thought it was worth sharing.

I personally think it's a pretty gun, in its own way.

Really nice in my opinion.

A very informative review of a gun I have always admired. Thanks for posting it.

Does anyone make a modern replica?

Hawg · January 12, 2014, 06:21 PM

Nope. Doubt if they ever will.

Howdy

Interesting coincidence. Just yesterday I got to handle one of these at an auction.

It was in perfect working order. I was tempted, but I was after something else. It wound up selling for $1600.

A shame. The action actually looks quite robust. At least better than the Starr double action mechanism.
