But it's a cartridge pistol, not percussion like during the War of Northern Agression. I saw a similar German pistol from the same period made to match their cavalry carbine
The .50 Remington Navy started out as a rimfire, with a 290gr bullet over 23gr of BP. In 1866 it became a Boxer primed centerfire round. It produced 234ft/lbs of energy. That is .38Special territory, but with a lot more mass, and probably very decent penetration.
This is chambered for the .50 Remington Army, which has a slight bottleneck and is mostly found with an internal benet primer. Also, I believe most Navy cartridges utilized either a Farrington or Martin centerfire primer by that period.

Hi guys. I’m not sure but, if I remember well, this single shot pistol used a metallic cartridge with experimental 3 round lead bullets. The general idea was to increase the chance of the ordinary trooper hit the enemy while riding a horse. Anyone correct me please if I’m wrong.
I would love to have an original in .50 cal. centerfire. Navy Arms came out with one years ago in .357 magnum that had major flaws so as to make it useless. Too bad they don't make one in the original .50 cal.
I always enjoy the "Vault" episodes. Thank Rock Island for letting us see the historical weapons.
Glad you enjoy! These boys are welcome ANY time.
These are the best! Old guns are just special compared to guns made now
Considering it comes after the civil war it looks like a throwback to the 1830's.

Love rolling blocks!
Enjoying the history lessons From the Vault !
This would be pretty neat to own
Love these videos. So many cool firearms I have never heard of or seen before.
Awesome gun. I really want one of those.
Nothing better than a simple GUN, love it a great looking FIREARM.
That gun design would be awsome in a .243 or .30-.30 for white tail and hogs at close to mid range.
Beautiful piece
Love these cool and rare old guns. How often will you see one in real life? Never.
What a cool pistol! Love these videos!
Really cool would have enjoyed seeing it shoot and a price given thanks tho
Love the vault
A nice piece.
I love them and always dreamed of owning one
Should not be too hard to find a reproduction. But probably not in .50Remington Navy. I remember seeing them in .38Special.
Great video, thank you.
Pretty cool.

My takeaway from all this ia that a Rolling Block pistol in 7mm Mauser /could/ potentially be a thing. I'm in!
👍😊 we need a pair of them for DC congress and senate 🤷♂️ they could help drain the swamp folks.
Pretty cool old, reliable, and almost (almost) Alec Baldwin proof pistol.

Amen, Brother !
I have the modern replica in 357 Magnum. I wish it were in 44 Magnum
Hey guys just a bit curious is it possible to kill a grizzly bear with this pistol?
4:27 NJ .
Do y'all know what the starting price on the auction of that piece would be?
I would look on the Rock Island website. RUclips is funny about linking to gun sales sites.
Tengo una oxidada del 1870 cuánto vale
Biden wouldn’t like this!
