A couple days ago I got a call from the EMF Company telling me that they just got in a Pietta London model 1851 Navy revolver, a gun I’d been eyeing for many months yet had been out of stock all over (probably exacerbated by Italy’s severe coronavirus outbreak). Debbie at EMF (the President and COO of the company) was a great help in finishing the order and coordinating the delivery on my off day. Outstanding customer service to be sure. I live in Nevada close to EMF’s home state of California and the revolver was delivered this afternoon. Here it is!
This gun is based on the historic Colts built in London, England, during the 1850s-1860s by Colt’s factory their, and is distinguished by its blued steel grip frame. Pietta did a great job! Looks amazing and the grips are finished out better than some other Pietta grips I’ve seen in the past few years. The revolver has a nice action as is but I intend to strip it down and do a full action job on it, deburr the hammer face, and have already installed some Ampco nipples which have given me excellent service in my other guns.
Stay tuned gang for future updates! If anyone out there is looking for a good seller of black powder guns and components, EMF is awesome. Take care everyone!
