Hickock arrived

Now I have a pair of navy's! So cool. My plain one definitely has the smoother action. Hope the Hickock smooths out a little with use, it's not bad but side by side one is slicker than the other.

Congratulations, those pistols sure are gorgeous. I need to get a '51 Navy.

The only thing missing is Ivory Grips on both weapons. Love the carved leather holsters.

I have a Uberti London Navy and I swear, it's the smoothest S/A that I hve ever felt!
Without a doubt the all steel frame is slicker thn a well lubed Brasser!
It also rings a bell in the accuracy dept! It's .36 caliber barrel prints tight groups, often shooting 7 yard cloverleafs and that's with MY shakey hands.
Yea I can see why old Wild Bill chose '51 Navy's
