RE: 1858 Confederate Navy model pistol
Does it have a brass frame? If it does, send it back and get something with a steel frame. I had constand jamming, stripped teeth on the hammer, barrel wedge pins blowing out when firing it and finally the one that got to me the most was when i fired one shot and the entire barrel and cylinder fell off. Theres a little pin that holds the shaft that the cylinder rotates on and that pin came out when it fired. Cabelas tried taking care of me by sending me a total of 3 replacement pistols, all of which had the same problems and one pistol i never fired because the hammer was jabbed from the factory. Stick with a steel frame revolver.
