2007年6月11日 · The .44's are shooting 140 grain balls at the same velocity as the .36's 80 grain balls. Accuracy... the .36 probably has the edge, but it depends on the individual revolver. Recoil - due to the increased weight of most .44's its very similar.

2023年9月8日 · My .36 is a Uberti 1862 pocket so that my have something to do with it. It is lighter and a pleasure to shoot (when it is not cap jamming!). My .44s are all Remingtons and "horse pistols" compared to the pocket Navy.

Would .36 or .44 suit me better? There's no hard and fast rules to which calibre you should pick, often it simply comes down to personal preference. Some may find the lighter recoil and slightly cheaper running costs of the .36 more appealing, others may prefer the larger calibre of the .44 for competitions.

2020年1月2日 · There is a large difference in performance, as when loaded to normal capacity, the .44 is nearly twice as powerful as a .36. Both can achieve similar velocities, but the .44 ball (.454 or so) is twice as heavy. For shooting varmints and plinking .36 will suffice. My 1851 Navy in .36 is my favorite revolver.

2018年6月3日 · The 1860 Army .44 has an 8 inch barrel, the 1851 Navy .36 has a 7 1/2 inch barrel. The Navy is hard enough to reholster quickly, particularly if you are using a high-riding slim Jim holster...the extra half inch on the 1860 is just that much harder.

2020年10月30日 · I'm going to suggest the .36 for a completely different reason. You get more shots out of your powder and lead. More Shots = More Fun. Alright thanks for the advice everyone. I went with my gut and purchased a .36 caliber …

2023年7月25日 · .36 Colt Navy pros: - Historically accurate, so if that is important to you that's probably going to be the decider - Shoots well with slightly lighter loads and the ammo tends to be a tiny bit cheaper, which can have an overall cost benefit over time

2020年1月21日 · The Colt Army is the 44 cal. revolver the Navy was made in 36 cal. Most people don't know the two are different.
