Are reproduction Colt Navy revolvers suitable for target shooting?

Yes. Many enthusiasts use reproduction Colt Navy revolvers for recreational and target shooting. The long barrel, single-action trigger, and relatively mild .36-caliber black-powder loads can offer good accuracy when the gun is properly tuned and the shooter uses consistent loading techniques. While sights are simple compared to modern target pistols, these revolvers can still perform well once the shooter learns their point of impact.
