I am of the opinion that the "sail" which is nothing more than a vestigial reminder of the loading lever on the '58 is a nice, if entirely cosmetic, feature.ĭo I own one? Yes! A few years ago I found an Uberti replica at a gunshow and purchased it. Remington Model 1875 Single Action Revolver. I always have thought that it's the most "Colt like" gun that is "not a Colt." One look at it should tell you why I think that.
REMINGTON 1875 VS COLT SAA SERIAL NUMBER
At one time I held serial number 22 in my hands. I've come close twice and was bucks down when the opportunity arose. I hope to one day own a couple of original Remingtons. Remington sold very well overseas and many are still floating around in North Africa, Turkey, and the Middle East. The ONLY major reason that the Remington didn't outdo the Colt was that it was introduced two years later and Colt got the U.S. It's still in the gun almost two years later. Of the four I own I've only ever had one hand spring break, and I pulled out the broken piece from the hand and reinstalled the rest of the spring. The hand spring is a non issue if you have it polished and have the frame polished where the hand spring runs. I find it far more comfortable for me as a left handed shooter and a little better balanced. It also has a one piece grip frame and receiver which makes it stronger than the Colt frame.It also has a main spring that is adjustable from the outside. Fresh from Taylors-the gun pictured is the one you will get- Built to compete with Samuel Colts single action, the 1875-Style revolver was every bit as reliabl.

Then, just for kicks, I compared the 75 to my Uberti made 58 Remingtons, and the 58's seemed better than the 75, still different from, but more similar too, the Colt.īottom line, assuming that the Uberti is an accurate replica of the orignal Remington 1875, I can see why the pistol did not last for very long. Also, the "feel" of the hammer under my thumb was not a "comfortable."Īfter all this, I swapped hands, and repeated the experiment, same results. A very, very, slight shift of the grip was required. With the Colt in my left hand, and the Remington in my right, I found that my thumb went right to the proper place on the hammer of the Colt, but not exactly so with the Remington. The slight difference in the shape of the grip didn't bother me, I thought both pistols fit my hand very well.īut where I noticed a real differnce was in cocking the pistols. The steel grey version of the Schofield is the best one in my opinion. 45 Colt caliber, so as to make the guns as similar as possible.Īlmost right away, I found myself thinking that the Colt was the "better" design.
