I've always had a weakness for the big 1975 Remington and it's copies. Especially nickled plated ones. Here's a Uberti .45. Anybody else out there have one? Feel free to post them here.

not yet, but it is one of the "old timey" revolvers i have always admired. if i get one, i think i want the .357 so i won't have to reload for another caliber. thanks for sharing. lee
 
Wyatt, I have the real deal, though older. The 1858 Remington New model Army. This one could have seen civil war action. It was refinished many years ago before I bought it. It shoots nice! It has a very old king red post front sight, and the hog wallow rear has been squared up.

I bought mine 30 years ago-I was inspired to get one after reading about Frederick Russell Burnham, he had one in in .44-40 with hippopatamus ivory grips and a cut down Indian head penny for a front sight.
 
Wasn't US Firearms supposed to be making these for Remington? I think it was about a year and a half ago that I heard they were working on producing both the Model 1975 and the C&B New Model Army. I sure would have bought the 1875.
 
I don't have an 1875 or any other Single Action but it is cool.
 
Josey Wales - or at least Clint Eastwood - would be proud. I like it too.

I purchased an original Remington 1875 revolver and holster from a friend several years ago. He inherited the outfit from his Grandfather, an old time gun collector. I wish that I knew it's history. Had I have been him, I would have kept it. It meant nothing to him. I also bought the grandfather's Winchester 1897 shotgun from his brother. The brother did not care that it was his grandfather's personal shotgun.

This is really something. It's rarer than an 1875 being an 1890. one of about 2,000. I think the 7 1/2" is the rarest, and your gun has original grips with the lanyard intact. and it's in good shape. Good going! Oh. And that is a fantastic holster.

Frederick Russell Burnham sidearm, purchased while still a teenager in Prescott, Arizona and kept throughout his life. Remington Model 1875, serial no. 11, in .44-40 caliber. Holster and Rhodesian bandolier are original; the .44-40 cartridge box bears the stamp of the Rhodesian government. Pistol grips are hippo ivory. Used in the Tonto Basin, the Geronimo Campaign, Rhodesia, East Africa, and Mexico.

Isn't this the 1890 model?

The "precursor", so to speak, of the 1875 Remington was the percussion revolver fitted with a cylinder to fire a .46 caliber rimfire cartridge.

Here's a repro of that in .45 Long Colt.

Here's my repro M1875 Remington revolvers. We are fortunate to have these available. I find them very well balanced.

As much as I like those old Remingtons, I like my Colt New Frontier more.Had to go with the Ruger front sight, eyes getting old.:D

I think (?) Eastwood packed one in the final scene of "Pale Rider." between that and his little pocket gun he took out close to a dozen bad guys. Nice scene, actually.
