Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Uberti/Navy Arms 1871 Rolling Block with its distinctive 9.5-inch barrel is a beautifully executed reproduction of the classic Remington rolling-block pistol, capturing the spirit of late-19th-century single-shot design while offering the reliability and shootability of modern craftsmanship. Built around the legendary rolling-block action, celebrated for its near-indestructible simplicity, this pistol features the familiar two-piece breech system in which the hammer and breechblock pivot on aligned pins—an arrangement that made the original 1871 models famous for strength, safety, and intuitive operation. Uberti’s modern rendition stays remarkably faithful to that heritage: the case-colored frame shows vibrant mottling with deep blues, purples, and straw tones, while the blued 9.5" octagonal barrel gives the pistol graceful period-correct lines, excellent sight radius, and the kind of balance that makes deliberate target shooting a pleasure. It offers minimal recoil and exceptional accuracy, making it not only a nostalgic piece but a surprisingly practical shooter for plinking and small-target work. The walnut grips, shaped in the classic American style, are smoothly finished and match the historical character of the original pistols while providing a firm, comfortable hold. The pistol’s single-shot loading ritual—cocking the hammer, rolling the breech open with the thumb, inserting a cartridge, and snapping the action shut—adds to the charm and immerses the shooter in the mechanical rhythm of a bygone era. Navy Arms’ importing and marketing ensured quality consistency, and Uberti’s reputation for producing premium reproductions of frontier-era firearms is fully evident here. Whether displayed as a historically inspired collectible or taken to the range for quiet, deliberate shooting, the 1871 Rolling Block stands out as a mechanically elegant, visually striking, and wonderfully authentic tribute to one of the most iconic single-shot pistol designs ever conceived.
