Most shooters would probably say either Ruger Old Army, Rogers and Spencer (if you have big hands), or Remington 1858.Originally Posted by slowcoach
I believe the latter's the only one that was made in .36, though.
For .36 specifically, I'd wager the Colt 1851 Navy is the favorite.

I have a Westerners Arms 'Navy' () in .36 (obviously) .. shoots straight .. seems to have bigger grips than the .36 Uberti I used to have, lovely case hardening on the action. I replaced the stock springs with Wolff replacements and trigger pull is now very nice indeed. Cost £50 plus the bits (£10).
It's my cowboy gun. I am ashamed to admit it, but it's true.
