    Recommendations for .36 revolver

    My poor old 44 R&S revolver is past its best so I am in market for a replacement. I fancy something in .36 which is eligible for competition so Old Army is out I think and it needs to be more accurate than I am so that widens the field.

    Any ideas?

    Well, AFAIK there is/was no .36 Old Army, so you are stuck with the usual players- Uberti and Pietta. Pietta, in particular, has come on in beaps and lounds in recent years.

    Just my two pence worth but I used to shoot a Whitney .36 by Palmetto. It was one of the most accurate non target specific black powder revolvers I have ever owned, it was also eligible for MLAGB competition and cheap to feed.
    I believe there's one for sale on Gunstar at the moment. always worth a look.

    I like the look of that. I'll have a look at the Phoenix next month. Thanks.

    I am in the Vintage Arms Assocation and I still use my .44 for completion shooting in the service revolver shoot, I suppose it depends on the organisation you shoot with
