Another fun Old West Six-gun

[Mad John]

Just for fun I thought I would post a few pictures of another resident of my revolver drawers.
Sam Colt may have ruled the day or popularity among the gun toting populace in the last portion of the 19th Century. However there were several other dominant makers of some really fine shooting irons.
This is the Remington Model 1875 first edition in .44 Remington. The .44 Remington cartridge was the alternative to the .44 Colt Long. With many other .44 pistol cartridges available the .44 Remington designation fell out of favor ans was interchangeable with the S&W .44 American round.
A strong and reliable gun the shared popularity along side of the Colt SAA. John

Very cool. Swear I had a cap gun that looked highly similar. Was my prized possession for years.

To all,
This Remington 1875 is a regular issue model. It was not produced as percussion revolver or conversion. A tough to find sixgun in any condition. Many of the same features as the percussion models. The 75 was the cartridge loading cartridge answer to Colt's SAA. The next Remington Model, the 1892 is a bit more common and recognized. John
