Only in the movies. No auto pistol will shoot that long either.

There are a few spaghetti westerns that I'm not crazy about but, for the most part, I love them.
As for that Remington replica, I will argue until I am blue in the face that the Remington 1875 is by far THE BEST LOOKING REVOLVER ever made!
Gorgeous gun you got there!!! Envious, Yoda is!!!

Thanks for the kind words.
Don't want you to get blue in the face, but I think a pre war Registered Magnum is a pretty delightful looking revolver too.
But I can't afford one of those at the moment.
I can however provide you with another peek...

I seem to remember being able to buy a special cylinder that would adapt to the BP Remington 44 which would enable it to chamber and fire 44-40 cartridges. Anybody have one?

That won't work. The bore on the Remington is .451 or so. The bullet in the .44-40 is currently, .429. Lots of blow by, leading and inaccuracy. There have been cylinders bored to accept the 45 long Colt cartridge.
The pair of revolvers I post now,
are cut for the modern 44 Colt with .430 bore. I load them with a 200 grain RNFP cast bullet and as much 3f as I can fit in the case. They are fun to shoot and fairly accurate.

I have a Ruger Old Army that has been fitted with a .45 Colt cylinder. As posted above, you can get a .45 Colt cylinder for most Remington STEEL framed percussion replica revolvers.
S&W made a lot of gorgeous guns. I even have a few and I used to have many more. Still, just to repeat myself, nobody has ever made a gun as pretty as the 1875 Remington. 
That includes the Colt SAA, and and all S&W Hand Ejectors, any Korth, any Ruger, any Manurhin, etc. Of course, the Remington Model 1858 comes close, as it should since it is the prdecessor to the 1875.
The S&W PC 986 tried to get there but it was just not to be.

I've had many Ubertis (and Uberti made Cimarrons), maybe a dozen handguns and nearly half a dozen rifles.
A Uberti Henry, 1873 short rifle and a carbine, a 38-55 High Wall and .45-70 High Wall.
Handguns I prefer the 5 1/2" barrel, but had one 4 3/4" and a couple of the 7 1/2".
The Uberti Schofield was nice too, just takes some getting used to after firing a Colt P.
This one is the one I've kept, the nicest Uberti (Cimarron) of them all.

Enjoy !!!!!
