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.

2021年7月4日 · 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.

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.

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.

2016年11月17日 · The 1851/1861 Navy .36 has a non-rebated/engraved cylinder. It is shorter than the Army cylinder and the barrel forcing cone is longer than the Army barrel forcing cone. The barrel is 7.5" long. The 1860 Army .44 4-screw frame cut-for-shoulder-stock with both types of cylinders: The 1861 Navy .36 3-screw frame: Regards, Jim

2018年8月13日 · .36 caliber 1851 Navy revolvers (top) are so marginal for self-defense that the author recommends that you don't use them. But, the non-historically correct .44 caliber version performs the same as the Army .44 models. Using that criteria the venerable Colt 1851 Navy model barely makes the cut.

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 …

2020年12月7日 · I'll go against the grain and say 44. The balls are a little larger and will be easier to handle. Additionally, the gun should be a little lighter as more material is taken out of the barrel with the larger bore. Either of them will do what you're looking for and will work even in self defense if needed (Hickock supposedly favored them).

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.
