If the Pietta Navy price is right and it's good mechanically, it is a good gun for the money as long as it's straight. Some of the older Piettas were pretty rough. Both Kirst and R&D make 38 LC cylinders for it, which, because of the 375 bore, must use hollow base bullets. I shoot 148 gr hollowbase wadcutters in 38 Special cases with 3.2 gr of Bullseye, 231 or Titegroup and they are as accurate from the 375 bore as they are from a real 38 (357).
