History of the Handguns of Colt: ep05: The 1851 Navy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 кві 2021
- After the Civil War, revolvers using fixed metallic cartridges came into widespread use. The Colt Navy remained in production until 1873, being replaced in the Colt line with what would become one of the manufacturer's most famous handguns, the Colt Single Action Army (also known as the Peacemaker and Colt 45).
Total production numbers of the Colt 1851 Navy Revolver were exceeded only by the Colt Pocket models in concurrent development, and numbered some 215,000 domestic units and about 42,000 produced in the Colt London Armory.

A few corrections. The Hickok Tutt fight took place in Springfield Missouri not St.lewis. I simply misspoke there, also it is colonel John s. Mosby not General MOSBY. thanks for watching.
wait... didn't the grey ghost carry a pair of LeMat, and a pair of 1860 Army revolvers? I know Lee, Sherman, and Grant carried the 1851, while Custer used the 1861 model.
@@jakubfabisiak9810 you are correct that he did own the lemats however the book mosbys rangers by James j. Williamson Specifically states that on many occasions he carries the 51 navy. I assume it was just less awkward in battle.
👍 thanks I’ll check it out
You guys are the best. I’m listening to this while holding my 1851 navy that has Ben in my family since the civil war . Thank you for giving me and this old gun an appreciation of its history. Can you just imagine the stories it could tell. Thanks again for the video guys.
you are welcome thanks for watching
1851, the year a yacht race in England was won by a yacht named America. That silver won (plus a little more) was melted down and turned into the Americas Cup yacht racing trophy. This trophy is the oldest trophy in history still in compitition today. It began in 1851.
very interesting
@@Real11BangBang Hoy, sorry, I'm a sailor and a gun enthusiast. 1851 is when it all started.
I’m a simple man I hear Colter Wall I like.
Awesome video....and he found rimfire ammo!
Well done amigos.
Thanks 👍
Pretty fancy gun handlin. Like it. Good music too
Thankyou
This was my first handgun of any kind 20 years ago that I got for Christmas after reading the book “Jeff Davis’ Own” about the 2nd Cavalry in Texas prior to the War.
I still love it, have a few videos with it and plan on having it refurbished and gated cartridge converted soon.
Great video. I love the He-Man and Gods & Generals touch
Thank you

Ahhh yes good ole Rooster
The horses name was Bo.
No matter how many times I watch this video that intro is just so cool thanks
thank you for watching
Very cool! Love history lessons. I’m cleaning my Ranger as we text. 😎 Shoo cat. Learned to keep screws on a magnet.
lol thats a good idea
Thank you sir.. your videos are like therapy in these crazy times..🇺🇸
i am very glad you like it
I have a bunch of the Cap and Ball revolvers, and my favorite is my Uberti 1851 Navy. Good video.
Come for the history, stay for the shooting. Great video!
Looking forward to the 1860 video.
Thank you for watching
Nice appearance of a Smith and Wesson no.2. Always wanted one
This one was a big project. Thankyou to caleb for the powder and thankyou to ethan for all the hard work.
I always come back to this video, here I am again watching it for the 3 time in the past 9 months. I love Colt revolvers and this video is very informative with accurate history. Thanks for doing these videos.
thank you i really appreciate that
I've overlooked these cap and ball pistols my entire life. Got a lot of catching up to do!
👍👍
its good deal of fun if you can find the caps now days
Nice video. Right next to me is a colt 51 navy made in 1863. Such a good beautiful gun. Keep up the great work gentleman. Also if you a interested I own a metal lathe. And I could turn down that barrel for you. It's the least I could do for all the entertainment you have provided me.
I believe you are correct. The Colt Navy shoots high, and he drew aimed around his belt buckle area and got lucky right in the heart. The rest is history. I love the story too.
Gots me a Uberti Colts Navy 1851 London model .36 cal . Absolutely the best gun of the day . Beautiful cap and ball gun . Thanks for your history , enjoyed it immensely 😁
thank you
I found one of the "case hardened" piettas, and its magnificent so far.. at 50 yards I hit the target with 2 shots (high and left of center) within an inch of each other. And that was standing. I was shocked when I saw the target. A fantastic 1851 for the price.. get one if you can. Now I want a conversion cylinder so I can shoot 45 long..
Thanks. I just subscribed. Looking forward to your other videos. I am impressed that you reference some of your contemporaries. Few do that these days. You show confidence in your own work when you do so.
I hope you won’t mind me saving this video for first thing Saturday morning with popcorn and rapt attention. My Uberti 1851 London is a faithful trail companion with 140 grain conicals over 21 grains of powder. Hits like .38 special. I fuss with it like my woman. It’s mostly reliable.
Lol it takes a minute to digest this episode
Sitting here with my 1851 enjoying some history and entertainment! Thanks!
Dude all I gotta say is you put so much effort into your videos I’m so happy I found ur channel
I appreciate that!
Awesome video. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Garrett you really hit it out of the park all of these video's. Thanks for keeping me entertained no matter how many times I watch these. There still great
thank you very much... time to gear up for the next one

During the Civil War Era, Cartridges were common, paper, gut, foil. For brief period; Colorado Gold Rush , both Colts were there. Remington had yet to make scene, was making barrels.
never buy a S&W is the lesson of today ... ;-)))
Very educational and very fun lesson
many many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work
In St. Louis, a great dueling town, near by Blood Island, in the Mississippi River was between two states.
You're not as bad a shot as you think you are. And at least you can shoot the weapon with one hand, as was originally done. Very historically accurate and commendable. :)
Thank you I really appreciate it.

Well done! I gotta admit, I really love the '49 but a Navy model is the one (or 2) you want when you know you're riding into trouble.
Absolutely
Your videos are excellent........thank you
Thank you for watching
Awesome vid! Love the in depth history.
Superbly balanced

I have a 44 Remington but have a 51 on it’s way in the mail. UA-cam must have known cuz it recommended this great video.
Thank you for watching
Superbe et fabuleuse video , merci !
Man, I still hope they got a Confederate hand guns series in mind. That'd be amazing.
we are hopefully starting that next summer or fall
Great video!
I was drinking water when you did the heman bit! 😂
lol sorry
LOL, I spit soup all over my monitor at the He-man scene.
You guys are too much love it
Great job guys very informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
CCI caps are the actual worst, I only run them out of desperation, cap jams, misfires, you get the whole experience.
lol yup desperation thats us right now.
Exactly...Remington caps only for me
New subscriber here. AWESOME AWESOME video! I have watched a few of your long videos now and I can’t get enough. Please keep them coming!
thank-you for watching
At 45 feet with the uberti 1851 navy and the uberti 1860 army revolvers I used to have I would get 4 inch groups out of my first 6 shots fired because I shot using both hands but single handed I could barely hit at 30 feet
I love this stuff. I love guns in general, but these old ones, pre civil war- wild west Era, really get my blood pumping. Good stuff, subbed!
thankyou very much!
Loving every minute of this! So much great info.
Thank you
Thank you for the awesome history lesson! Gripping story.
Glad you enjoyed it
By the power of the Colt Armory! Ha ha ha! You got my sub!
lol thankyou
Once again, I;m loving this channel of yours. I've got several '51's, 60's, and '58's and I like them all, but I agree that the beauty contest goes to the 51. Well, maybe the 60. Hell, who cares. These are just so fun to shoot. Your knowledge of this stuff is amazing to me. Thanks for sharing all of this with all of us. Your channel is playing this playlist while I reload for a 9mm. I know, sacreligious!!!! Hey Traditions put out a Pietta made "Wildcard" 51, inspired by the Hickock card hand shot. I made a video of it. I love that one too. Thanks so much.
thankyou i need to revisit the 51 navy it has been a few years
I love the 1851Navy. I have a Hawes 36 caliber steel frame Navy by Armi San Palo, manufactured in 1970 and it has several thousand rounds fired through it and it is as as good as new. I also have two Pietta Navy s and a Pietta Buntline steel frame Navy 12 in barrel, and one Armi San Marcos engraved brass frame. I love the 1851Navy. Thanks for sharing the video.
thank you for watching
Great videos and history. Really enjoy them!
Glad you enjoyed
Colt Navy 1851 an work of art 😎
YES IT IS
A Great video with history about a Fine Gun, one of which I own. They are sweet like history in your hand. We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors and having items they depended on in our own hands make the connection to the past like a hand shake. Kind Thanks and Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
thank you for watching
Very interesting history
Excellent video. Thank you for the history lessons!!! Mr Davis was one bad hombre!!! I wonder if Wild Bill took his watch back??
i think so
Loving that Colter Wall 😀
The intro lmao 😂
The Spirit of Sam Colt compels me!!!
lol yes it does
It is about trajectory the 36 was the 9mm of its day, high velocity and flat trajectory.
Darn good video. Missouri.
thankyou!
The Missouri Bushwackers were famous for having SEVERAL pistols at the ready. One account I read said that of 6 bushwackers killed, they recovered THIRTY revolvers.
God bless General Stonewall Jackson
Your facts and story tell'en, just earned you a'sub, brother. Good work!
Thanks and welcome
Fantastic content. I have an 1851 Navy, 1860 Army and Remington NMA. Looking forward to videos (hopefully) on the Army and NMA soon!
Definitely earned a sub. 👊🏻
Thank you for subbing! The 1860 army video should be out in early July after we get done with wheat harvest
@@garrettfromsmokeinthewoods outstanding! I’ve been binge watching your stuff so I’ll be looking forward to that video as well.
I think you would be interested in a youtube channel called Blackie Thomas. He's got quite a few videos dedicated to the percussion revolver and how to get the best practical use out of them, including how to fix the windage on the sights.
Thank you. I do watch blackie Thomas he has a great channel.
Awesome video, I love my ‘51s. One thing, though...Hickok/Tutt occurred in Springfield, Mo, not St. Louis. Looking forward to the 1860 and Griswold videos.
Oops sorry that was a miss speak
My .44 CVA Brass frame Navy was rescued form layaway at Tom's Guns, Normandy Mo. Ready to fire with a pound of powder and 5 lbs. of shot was $42.00 in 1956. The money I made at a local riding stable @ .50 an hour. It trained a family of 10 kids to shoot a pistol. Now I have Navy's from a 12"-.44 TO A 3.5" .38 1870 open top 5.5'. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL GLAD i found it. Was the fire sabotage?
i dont think the fire was sabotage as it started in the attic lol if i was gona burn down a place i probably wouldnt start it in the attic
Im a 13 boom boom or was us army field artillery been shooting bap and ball revolvers since i got my first one at 16 im 61 now and still at it like your vids!
the dont shoot him in the back to make him look behind him is a chris pratt from the magnificent 7 faraday persona
The navy 36 was quite popular how ever the 44 ruled supreme
If you carry two Colt navys, you are called the twelve apostles.
Just bought an Uberti 1851 Navy today, can't wait for it to arrive. I'll also be buying a conversion cylinder later on for .38 special.
Wanted one for a long time, figured my tax return was finally an excuse to get one.
uberti makes a great gun congratulations. just keep in mind your uberti has a .375 bore and 38spl is .357 so inorder to engage the rifling you will need to look for a 38spl with a hollow base bullet. thanks for watching
Where did you buy it? I’d get one but everywhere I look online it’s out of stock.
@@realstreetjesus1953 I got mine in Midway, but they could likely be out of stock already.
@@Real11BangBang i am a reloader but not for 38 special. I am curious about what you state about the hollow base bullet, though, just for the sake of learning. Will the hollow base actually expand and grab the rifling on its way out? Is that the purpose of the hollow base bullets (like Berry’s makes)? I always assumed that it was for those who desire a longer OAL.
So when one buys a 38 special cylinder for their Uberti to convert, is there always going to be an 0.018” difference between the chamber diameter of the cylinder and the barrel diameter? If so, any idea on why the two are made with different diameters? Thanks.
i love these
thankyou
James Butler was indeed a yankee, but unlike Tyrant Lincoln, Wild Bill came by his anti-slavery, pro-abolitionism honestly and I respect that.
One of the best 1851 Navy videos ever... watched it several times. Just started getting into cap/ball black powder revolvers so I bought a Colt 1851 Navy and i love it. Tried CCI #10's and #11's and I seem to get a lot of jambs with both of them. Are there better nipples I can use (can seem to get Remington #10 caps that you recommended) Looking forward to getting more Colt BP revolvers in the future. Keep making more videos !!! Thanks
My favorite since i held the 51in one hand and a 61 in the other, The tapered flat top sold it.
I hope that my comment did not offend you or come off as rude, I'm new to your channel and missed your previous episodes. I enjoyed your historical facts about the weapon and the people, but the name was the only thing that stuck out to me. Speaking as someone who has both the remington and a navy colt, colt is the way to go. I don't agree with your opinion about CCI, but that's probably because me and my family have been working at the factory that makes CCI products for a long time.
we are not offended we are glad to have you and your knowledge.
Alot of good information, only thing that he got wrong was Hickoks name. It's not William Hickok, it's actually Jame Butler Hickok.
thank you for watching. in my dragoon video i cover the use of wild bills alias william haycock and in the early Civil war he used the name William Hickok. but you are correct that his true name was James butler Hickok
You said you would be bringing a video of the history of the Colt 1860. Any idea when that will happen ?
we started that video then stopped because an 1855 root fell into our hands so expect the 1855 root sometime this month then we'll do the 1860. thanks for watching
If the confederate army would of had been just a bit more industrialized,.. This country would be in much better shape today.
I still get pumped after all these years when I hear the he-man theme song
lol me too
Flat trajectory is the main advantage of the 9mm.
Actually the .36 navy is .375" bore but that would be cumbersome "this is mt 375 Navy caliber revolver"
Looks to me like Johnny Reb could use some shootin’ lessons from the Yankees.
The Hickok/Tutt endeavor took place in Springfield, Missouri.
you are right. that was a a slip of the tongue that somehow got through the editing. really like your channel by the way
@@Real11BangBang your channel and knowledge is amazing. I figured it was a slip of the tongue. I'm a Missourian and I always do the same thing.
Not St. Louis, but Springfield, Mo. Supposedly, my great, great grandfather witnessed this event. He was around 13-14 at the time and was in town that day with his father getting supplies. They were on the northeast side of the square and heard only one shot. As this story was passed down, it included Bill resting his right pistol on the left arm and firing. When visiting the Springfield square, there are markers in the street and sidewalk where both were standing. Also, supposedly, each man stood sideways to narrow the profile of being a target. Tutt was hit in the right side and the bullet traveled thru his chest to strike him in the heart. Luck or not, one heck of a shot for a pistol.
Thank you for the info. I am sorry about the st Louis thing that was a misspeak on my part.
The Doctor who examined Tutt's body stated at Hickok's trial that the ball / bullet from Hickok's revolver struck Tutt under the right armpit, breaking the 5th rib, passed thru the heart and both lungs, then exited the body, breaking the 5th rib on the left side. Such penetration at a range of 75 yards makes it almost certain Hickok had loaded his Navy Colt with combustible cartridges firing a conical bullet. Hickok's military service would have made him very familiar with revolver combustibles, and likely his military connections allowed him easy access to a military supply of the revolver combustibles. While the 82 gr 0.380 round ball over a full chamber of good fine grained sporting grade black powder can achieve velocities around 1200 fps and hit with extreme destructive effect at close ranges, the round ball has poor aerodynamics and loses more than 30% of its velocity at 100 yards. The pointed revolver conicals of the mid-19th Century, had excellent aerodynamics and would retain nearly 90% of muzzle velocity at 100 yards. British Ordnance tested a Colt Navy in 1857, using the 140 grain conical cast by the Colt mold, and reported that the Navy Colt could achieve accurate deadly hits on a man at more than 200 yards, which astounded the Ordnance board, as such long range accuracy and effectiveness was not expected from a pistol.
@@63DW89A thank you for the information. Most people do not realize that the 1860 army and the 51 navy were almost always loaded with paper cartridge.
@@63DW89A Wow !! That's impressive, on top of being an amazing shot. Thanks.
If Hickok were actually resting his right pistol on his left arm, that would make a quick shot almost impossible. Assuming his right arm was extended then it would be either near or completely impossible to do that standing sideways, for his left arm to be able to be in such a position to be able to be rested on by his gun. If he was standing sideways shooting his right hand gun with his right hand resting on his left forearm in the other direction, which would not have been the “proper” way to shoot at the time, because his right arm would not be extended, that seems very unlikely for that reason. ALSO, unless he was cross eye dominant, it would be extremely difficult to see his sights or perhaps impossible. For those reasons, I would say that he either was not standing sideways OR he did not rest his gun on his opposite arm. Given that Tutt was proven to be standing sideways, I believe that Hickok would have been doing the same, but resting his gun on his left arm seems extremely unlikely.
Great video... love the london but I currently have a Remington.
Both are great guns in my opinion.
Thankyou for watching
I bought an 1862 Pocket Police in .36 caliber. Just a little over a pound and 5.5" barrel. The first "conceal carry" gun.....
Just got my first 1851 navy
It's beautiful gun
thankyou
loved this video im going to look into a 36
Are you sure Hickock was in St Louis? Hickock had his back to the door playing poker, had no chance to draw.
he was in Springfield...we do these all in one take and then edit them somehow that misspeak sliped through the editing. thanks for watching.
Who started that rumor the south lost that war? 😏🤘
The south didnt lose. That dirty thief grant sliped up on genral lee and stole his sword and lee was too much of a gentleman to ask for it back lol
@@garrettfromsmokeinthewoods lol I’ve heard that one before. Fuckin grant, the south will rise again! I’m working on moving to northern Alabama, i can’t wait. Or at least owning some property there.
