Uberti's 1851 Navy Leech-Rigdon is a .36 caliber single-action percussion revolver with a 7.5-inch barrel and a six-shot cylinder. The metal is blued and the grip is one-piece walnut. Front and rear sights are fixed, in keeping with the mid-1800s pattern it reproduces.

The Leech-Rigdon name sets this apart for collectors who track the Confederate contractors who built Navy-pattern revolvers, and Uberti's version gives them a shooter rather than a safe queen. For range use it is a full-size .36 cap-and-ball revolver with the long 7.5-inch barrel, which gives a decent sight radius for slow, deliberate single-action shooting. Load six chambers with powder, ball and cap, and it runs like any 1851 Navy. The blued finish and walnut grip keep the look plain and period-correct, which suits reenactors and anyone building a collection of Civil War-era reproductions.
