Remington 1858 Army Black Powder Revolver, Case-Hardened Steel Finish

The Remington Revolver was the only black powder gun to offer a challenge to the dominant Colt revolvers. It was considered by many to be every bit the gun a Colt was, and then some. It is said that soldiers of the Civil War would trade a handful of Colts for one Remington Army revolver. After the war, the Remington outsold the Colts as a surplus weapon because the soldiers had seen how the two guns stood up side by side to combat use.

The Remington Revolver has a strong solid frame that stands up to the abuse better than the open-top design of the Colt. A note from William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody on Exhibit at the NRA National Firearms Museum reads, "This old Remington Revolver I carried and used for many years in Indian Wars and buffalo killing. And it never failed me."
