Remington, unlike Colt, actually did factory conversions of their 1858 revolvers to fire self contained cartridge ammunition. They paid a $3 royalty on the Roland White patent for each one they converted and/or sold. The way they did their conversion made it easy for the owner to convert them back to cap & ball if needed. Uberti makes a nice recreation of those converted 1858s, as well as the standard 1858.
Sad to hear about the company going bankrupt, I actually prefer the look of their classic revolvers to Colt. The "sail" underneath the barrel just gives them a much more elegant and sleek profile.
Yeah. I wish they would drop some of the old percussion versions back on the market. I bet even if more expensive, they would sell better than the Ubertis, Piettas and even Pedersolis simply because its the original, so long as the quality is OK.
@@corneliussulla4858 That's just the problem, the last 20 or so years Remington, and their daughter companies Marlin and Harrington&Richardson has been having quality issues. Only in the last five years or so have they started to come to terms with those issues, but the damage to the reputation of the brands still linger on. Remington recently sold Marlin to Ruger, but it obviously wasn't enough to fill the cashbox.
@@johanrunfeldt7174 I know I am late to the show, but sadly you are spot on. Reminds me of Ithaca in the early 2000's. They were putting out pure junk, just slapping parts together before they went under. Thankfully they were resurrected and turned things around. Let's hope Remington can do the same.
These became legendary in the Civil War for their durability and many troopers praised them for being more accurate than the 1860 Colt Army. Great revolvers. I'm hoping that Remington will survive
As Clint Eastwood showed in the movie “Pale Rider,” you can reload a Remington 1858 faster than a Colt Army because you can swap out the Remington’s cylinder for a loaded one faster than a Colt. In order to swap out the Colt cylinder, you have to completely dismantle the firearm. Another good one, Santee!
@@ArizonaGhostriders hopefully another gun company or someone can possibly save them like other companies have been in the past . I guess only time will tell
@@oregonoutback7779 They're both pretty good but there are differences in appearance. Pietta puts their markings right on the barrel where they're easy to see, Uberti kind of hides them under the barrel, out of direct sight.
Thanks Santee for finally doing an episode on Remington revolvers. I personally own to 1858 new army 8 inch barrel. Percussion cap. And the sheriffs model!
Thanks again Santee & Co. I've never owned a Remington revolver , but I have owned a couple of their 700 rifles and an 870 shotgun . When I was in the navy the 870 shotgun was a standard carry gun for security.
I recently acquired a Cimarron reproduction of a 1890 Remington revolver in .44-40. I personally think all the Remington revolvers are all amazing designs.
Love my pair of repro Remington New Model Army revolvers, one with a cut down 5 inch barrel and one with the full 8 inch. Thought about converting them to cartridge but just havent gotten around to it. Also, glad to hear about the cockeye frank incident, it's one of my favorite stories because of how it shows what most real combat is like. Fast, hectic, and sometimes a little ridiculous
The article said that Levi had 3 shots in him and Frank only a scratch on his thumb. They circled a gaming table and still missed each other. That's how combat can be, alright! We can also take in the amount of smoke from the black powder...
@@ArizonaGhostriders some reports put their pistol barrels so close as to be almost touching muzzles thru the smoke as they chased each other. Many might ask how they managed to miss at that distance but the smoke from two revolvers going off would have been blinding in a saloon. Not to mention the whole chasing and being shot at part, all three aspects make marksmanship difficult hahaha
Broke my heart when Big Green filed for Chapter 11. My first exposure to firearms was my uncle's 870 Wingmaster, a piece of functional artwork in my opinion. He says it'll pass to me when he's gone.
Great episode yet again my friend. I own two 1858 Remington copies made by Pietta, one 1858 Remington Carbine made by Uberti, and one 1875 made by Uberti in 45 Colt. I like every one of them. They’re fun to shoot for sure.
Great video Santee 👍👊🤠 I love hearing about them old guns in the West 👊🤠 I have a 1875 outlaw in 357 mag 7 1/2 in barrel I love the gun took it out deer hunting last week but never got a chance to shoot it them dang dear never got close enough 🦌🤠 The 1875 outlaw looks good with my old Winchester and Henry rifle 👍👊😎🤠 🤠 LATER PARD 🤠 🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅
Love the cylinder change reload in Pale Rider. Just obtained a spare cylinder for my Pietta Texas Paterson, which requires a take down just to reload (no lever).
A little Remington Trivia: After Remington when bankrupt in 1880's, the sporting goods company that took over assembled about 250 revolvers from parts, making what they needed. This unique revolver is dubbed by some collectors' as the 1888 Model. They are exceedingly rare, and many dealers and collectors unaware of their existance, dismissing them as an 1890. Several on line sources with pictures, that well describe this varient. Trivia two: Lee van Cleef's amazing Remington at the final shoot out in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, turns in to a Colt Navy conversion when drawn. (BTW: Speaking of Remington, can anyone make out the words on the top strap of that Remington at close-up in holster?) Trivia three: Remington definately stronger than Colt, but some sources claimed a loose cap could jam cylinder easier than with a Colt. I've had jammed cylinders before, don't know how significant that was in day. Also, not nit picking, but your gun shop uses words 'casings'. This odd term for cartridge cases, seems to have originated from some 1990's era crime TV shows, and bizarrely entered public lexicon, with on scene reporters speaking of 'casings' all over street. Old gun ads and literature referred to 'cases'. For decades, "Gun Digest" annual ran "ABCs"- American Bulleted Cases decribing past year's ammunition changes. As always, great show.
Cap jams are actually a lot more common today than they were historically. Back then manufacturers made caps that were matched to the specific firearms they were to be used with. For example, caps intended for Colts were made of both thicker and softer copper than any caps available today.
Hope Remington doesn't go out of business and if I ever do get my first gun it's going to be a revolver, that way I can really appreciate it's history and my never ending fascination of the wild west. Thanks for making a TH-cam channel for all wild west enthusiasts and the actual facts, I bet many including me could on your show, buy you guys a drink 🍻 and say cheers to your successful TH-cam channel, sadly I'm in Vermont but I also appreciate the history of my state like the Green mountain boys for example
Howdy Santee, I love your videos and love of the old west. I’m a big nerd of it myself and you’ve gained a new subscriber. See ya on down the trial partner.
Good morning Santee, thats crazy after all these years Remington is having to file for bankruptcy, never thought that would happen.. great information mate for an amazing revolver that served so many
Ever since they found that rifle,manufactured in the 1880s,in the Nevada desert.....I have been hoping someone will find some more old west guns. Nice to know that you can still buy a replica of that Remington gun.
I own a repro New Model Army and I have to say that it is the most pleasant c & b shooting experience I've ever had. Plus, the speedy reload of it is just plain fun.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Very much so. My brother plans to get into collecting and shooting as well, thanks to this channel and the content you guys make. Keep up the good work!
interesting how much impact the company has on the world outside of guns: they started a typewriter business that eventually became a computer company that still is involved in the computer industry to this day!
The Remington is probably my favorite of the western revolvers. There is no love lost for Colts and I am especially fond of the Merwin and Hulbert line, but there is just something that keeps drawing me back to the Remington. I already have one Uberti replica. I think if I get another one to match it, I'll have it customized by my gunsmith friend with a Birdshead grip. That is the one downside to designs based off the Remington, I have yet to find one from the factory with a Birdshead instead of Plow Handle. The prior fits much better in my own hand while I can shoot the plow handle but aren't very comfortable doing so.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I don't mind Colts. I'm especially fond of the Colt 1860 and Cimmaron Doc Holliday Thunderer my buddy owns. The Birdshead grip is why as much as I love my Uberti Remington Reproduction, I still use Colt based revolvers at the range more because the Birdshead allows me to get a better grip on the hammer. My Ruger Wrangler has a plow handle grip and despite it only being a .22 LR, the hammer still slips from my thumb on occasion. If that were to happen with a percussion pistol like my Uberti, it would mean an AD. While I'm far more careful because of this, it's still a fear I'd rather address with my next purchase
Thanks Santee.I own a Pietta 1858 New Army and a Uberti 1858 New Army Conversion. Damn Yankee vets were allowed to purchase army percussion pistols at a discount and chose Remingtons 2 to 1 over Colts for reliability and faster loading. In 1868 Remington licensed the bored through cylinder from S&W and beat Smith and Colt to the market with the first cartridge pistol, the 1858 Conversion. I believe Frank James carried the Remington 1875 Army, so much for any War of Northern Agression use. In his old age Frank carried the semi automatic Colt hammerless which he called his " little pocket gatling gun"! I love my modern Colt M4 carbine but if confronted by the gun grabbers' LE or army I'm going out in style with twin Remingtons, the Krag cavalry carbine and the 1860 Confederate Light Cavalry saber. I've had enough of Dems, and if the GOP was good enough for Mosby and Longstreet it'll do 'fer me.
How about “trash talkin” in the Wild West Santee? What kinda stuff would be said if a few fellas were 💩talking at a card game? What would they say back than to insult someone? Great vid today to as also too, big thanks. 👍🏽
@@ArizonaGhostriders Maybe the OleWest is where “Yo Mamma” jokes originated from. “That matriarch of your family is so thick & harry she looks like a bison with mange rolled around on the barbers floor after a plunge in the hogs waterin troth...” Or something like that. 😜
Pale Rider was why I bought the 1858 Remington. Fun fact, in the movie The Good the Bad and the Ugly, at the last gun fight scene, Angle Eyes is carrying a 1858, it is clearly seen with percussion caps on the cylinder but he has cartridge's in his belt loops............
@@eldorados_lost_searcher Corporate raiders. Same $h1t Mitt Romney was known for. I have an older 7600 pump in 30.06. beautiful gun, functions flawlessly.
@@lightweight1974 interesting. my dad had the same gun in 308. it was...hit and miss. sometimes it shot straight, sometimes you couldnt hit the side of a barn with it.
I own quite a few remingtons. Use both 1858 and a spiller & burr repro for my western impression. I like the 1858 for the ease of swapping the cartridge converted cylinders out.
Loved the information on the Remington. I have carried a couple as a Confederate Raider reenactor before. They definitely have weight to them. I always enjoy hearing of the James family as well as Captain Anderson. Must have been the lovely Mrs. Santee at the end of the video.
Seth Bullock rocked a Remington on Deadwood, but I've never been able to confirm he actually used one in real life. Suppose it doesn't matter, as Sheriff Bullock was known for not needing to use a gun at all.
Love it what a great way to start my Saturday morning off with. Thank you Santee hope you had a good Thanksgiving and have a good weekend too. Can't wait for the next video. Thank you.
Well right from the start AGR logo gets the dialog going, but wait we see the AGR logo appear on Custers glove gauntlet and then here comes AGR logo to help the look of old Remington factory. Very kewl nicely done fact filled!!!
Good job on the video, Santee. I always liked Remington and Smith & Wesson revolvers I saw in movies. I would be happy to own either one. Hope you and the rest of the gang had a nice holiday.
It's always nice to see people still make replica of this amazing revolver also its sad to see Remington go bankrupt not only this company but the others as well
As always, another awesome show! Slowly but surely putting together an old west outfit, may add a Remington or at least a replica to it. And as always, got to request that stock exchanges in the old west episode! Love you guys!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Exactly.. I have a Colt clone so need to branch out.. Just love that era of weapons.. Your videos have been great and a big reason I have been wanting to get into reenactments.. Kind of hard to find them in my area though
Love me some Remingtons, have the ‘75 in. 357 & 45, SS & case harden. Can’t deny the beauty of the 1875, take them over ‘73 any day (know I’ll get sh*t over that one 😜). Thanks for showing the finest revolver of the Old West 🤪. 👍🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠
Glad you enjoy them. You may get some gruff, but it doesn't matter. I don't shoot one because it doesn't fit my hand like a Colt does. My experience with them is about the same as far as precision.
Thanks for this vid, and the much needed love for the Remmies. The NMA is my favourite pistol of all time, and I wish I could afford an original. Nevertheless, my Pietta repro is my personal favourite pistol (as might be obvious from my pic!), and I love blowing smoke with it, whether using powder and ball, or .45 Colt in my conversion cylinder (when I can find an ample supply of .45 Colt ammo, gee thanks, 2020!). In fact, I think I am gonna go bust some caps, later. See? You could be a motivational speaker... granted you don't get your spiel stolen by someone else!
Great episode Santee :D Even though im a huge fan of the Colts, the old remingtons are beautiful pieces of hardware :) Keep up the great work. Ohhh, love the laughter in the end ;)
Some of us were graced with the name Remington due to our fathers either loving their products or being gunsmiths. My daddy happen to fall into both categories and hence why my middle name is Remington. Happy shooting everyone! :D
Been looking at getting one for awhile. I always called the 'sail' the 'blade' though. Never really paid much attention to Remington old west revolvers until a few years ago. Nice elegance to them.
It may be called a "blade". I orginally heard them called a sail, and because it looks like a sail, it entered my vernacular. Yes, they have a streamlined look.
@@ArizonaGhostriders It mostlikey is called a sail (all evidence points to it). Someone said 'blade' to me when talking about things to look for. So that stuck to me. Either way I learned something new. Thanks.
Thanks posting this. Last year I bought a Rem R51. Looked great but very prone to jams. Did not return it however and traded it for a s&w. Their shotguns today are fantastic. I sure hope they can survive.
The Remington Family also produced one of the best illustrators/artists of the West - Frederic Remington. His work as well as his cousin's arms business are displayed at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming. I know its a bit of a hike during a pandemic from AZ to WY but so worth the effort!
@@ArizonaGhostriders combine it with Longmire Days which is an easy drive (from Cody to Buffalo WY) and you'd have a great trip and a lot of material! Longmire Days dates vary but will be announced next month for the summer of 2021.
I wish they had remingtons in RDR2 I love the look of them.
Maybe one day in a mod or something...?
@@ArizonaGhostriders they have a navy revolver i think is a combination
@@ArizonaGhostriders in the online version
Same
They have a mod for them in fallout4

@@ArizonaGhostriders Agreed

@@ArizonaGhostriders can you please make a video about European immigrant gunslingers in the Old West?
Thank you.
Modern Italian gunsmiths make the most beautiful western revolvers
Thanks for NOT calling the New Model Army the "1858". That really grinds my gears.
That's why I explained it for folks.
Gotta have a revolver on ya in the Wild West. Love hearing about the Remington history.
Much appreciated.
For Christmas someone needs to give Santee what he’s always wanted: to finish the outro

@@redheadredneckv What would be the fun in that? ;)

Glad to hear it.
Loving those old Clint Eastwood clips. One of my favourites
YAY!
Love me some Remington revolvers! Hoping to add a carbine soon.

I have a few of the Uberti and Pietta replicas! Great video on one of my favorite subjects Santee!
Right on. Glad you enjoyed it!
Which do you feel is the better revolver, Uberti or Pietta?
@@oregonoutback7779 They're both pretty good but there are differences in appearance. Pietta puts their markings right on the barrel where they're easy to see, Uberti kind of hides them under the barrel, out of direct sight.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Thanks. What about build quality? I have read that in the past, Pietta's build quality was not as good as Uberti.
@@oregonoutback7779 I own both.
Piettas quality has come a long way in the past few years.

He ain’t fit to shoot at when you want to unload and clean yo’ gun.
Good idea.
@@GathKingLeppbertI
Exactly! Maybe with some translations too please. 👍🏽
@@ArizonaGhostriders
Maybe the OleWest is where “Yo Mamma” jokes originated from.
“That matriarch of your family is so thick & harry she looks like a bison with mange rolled around on the barbers floor after a plunge in the hogs waterin troth...” Or something like that. 😜
Pale Rider was why I bought the 1858 Remington. Fun fact, in the movie The Good the Bad and the Ugly, at the last gun fight scene, Angle Eyes is carrying a 1858, it is clearly seen with percussion caps on the cylinder but he has cartridge's in his belt loops............
Yes he does!
It really does suck hearing that Remington is filing chapter 11 :(
Its sad but after the massive lawsuit and recall on the Model 700 it doesn’t surprise me. Not to mention their quality isn’t what it used to be
They were also bought by a larger corporation that was bleeding off the profits instead of reinvesting.
@@eldorados_lost_searcher Corporate raiders. Same $h1t Mitt Romney was known for.
I have an older 7600 pump in 30.06. beautiful gun, functions flawlessly.
It is, but it doesn't mean the end for them.
@@lightweight1974 interesting. my dad had the same gun in 308. it was...hit and miss. sometimes it shot straight, sometimes you couldnt hit the side of a barn with it.
Great episode! Thank you Santee!! There is an "Italian" 75' Remington pistol at my local gun shop!! I believe I'll give it a new home!!
Yes. That poor, cold, and lonely orphan. Take it in, and keep it warm... if you catch my drift!
Yes, get it!
LOL!
@@ArizonaGhostriders This is one of the reasons, I love your channel. We are all so supportive!!
@@marshalofod1413 I'm on it!! I think it needs a "Rick backman, Cheyenne holster" to keep it company too!!
Uberti...yup. Next on my Christmas list!😃 Another fine video Santee!
Thank you! Hope you get one.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Oh! I will! Christmas is right..."On Down the Trail!" 😆
Thank you !
You're welcome!
I own quite a few remingtons. Use both 1858 and a spiller & burr repro for my western impression. I like the 1858 for the ease of swapping the cartridge converted cylinders out.
Cool!
I got me a couple of those '58 Remington hoglegs. Thanks for the video Santee!
You bet
Interesting video as usual, Santee! Take care & God bless!
Thanks again!
Loved the information on the Remington. I have carried a couple as a Confederate Raider reenactor before. They definitely have weight to them. I always enjoy hearing of the James family as well as Captain Anderson. Must have been the lovely Mrs. Santee at the end of the video.
It was her. Yup! Since COVID she has been helping me film on the weekends.
Thank you Santee 👍
Any time
Great topic. Thanks for this weeks video. 👍
You bet!
Watching now .
Hope you enjoy
Seth Bullock rocked a Remington on Deadwood, but I've never been able to confirm he actually used one in real life.
Suppose it doesn't matter, as Sheriff Bullock was known for not needing to use a gun at all.
Yeah, I find a lack of information on what some of these folks carried or used.
Yes yes and more yes ! This video is awsome I have always wanted to learn more about the remington revolvers
Thank you!
i always liked the look of the Remington with the sail rib under the barrel for some reason i just like the look and mechanics of this style pistol
To each his own!
@@ArizonaGhostriders You gotta admit, it gives it a cool streamlined look to it :)
Pure Beauty! 🤗 Keep your revolvers clean... 💞
Yup
I’ve learn so much of the Wild West thank you santee
My pleasure!
Love it what a great way to start my Saturday morning off with. Thank you Santee hope you had a good Thanksgiving and have a good weekend too. Can't wait for the next video. Thank you.
You're welcome!
These videos wake me up better than coffee!
Thank you!
Easily my favorite revolver
Great!
Love mine, got extra cylinders, so much fun to shoot
CooL!
Great video, as always. Keep 'em coming!
We will!
Well right from the start AGR logo gets the dialog going, but wait we see the AGR logo appear on Custers glove gauntlet and then here comes AGR logo to help the look of old Remington factory. Very kewl nicely done fact filled!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this information and Great Video Santee 😎🤙
Any time!
Thanks Santee, it is kinda sad to see our history go bankrupt and fade away!!!
I bet someone will snatch it up!
@@ArizonaGhostriders I hope so, if only to keep the legacy alive.
Love the show also gotta say bin watching for along time
Thank you!
Good job on the video, Santee. I always liked Remington and Smith & Wesson revolvers I saw in movies. I would be happy to own either one. Hope you and the rest of the gang had a nice holiday.
Thank you!
Dante hope y'all had a great turkey day love your videos
Thanks! You too!
It's always nice to see people still make replica of this amazing revolver also its sad to see Remington go bankrupt not only this company but the others as well
I hope someone will buy it and keep it going.
The Remington 1875, the Merwin Hulbert, and the Winchester (1873?) revolver are my favorite revolvers of the old west.
1883. Correction
ok!
that sail looks soo nice
like that, eh?
As always, another awesome show! Slowly but surely putting together an old west outfit, may add a Remington or at least a replica to it. And as always, got to request that stock exchanges in the old west episode!
Love you guys!
Thanks, Robert.
When ever I get around to actually buying me a cap and ball revolver.. Definitely buying the Remington.. Just love the look so much more
Whatever you like, right?
@@ArizonaGhostriders Exactly.. I have a Colt clone so need to branch out.. Just love that era of weapons.. Your videos have been great and a big reason I have been wanting to get into reenactments.. Kind of hard to find them in my area though
@@jeffdecker9969 I understand they are somewhat scarce all over. I think folks are buying whatever they can right now.
“That is correct.” 😂 I love that movie!
🤠
Love me some Remingtons, have the ‘75 in. 357 & 45, SS & case harden. Can’t deny the beauty of the 1875, take them over ‘73 any day (know I’ll get sh*t over that one 😜). Thanks for showing the finest revolver of the Old West 🤪. 👍🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠
Glad you enjoy them. You may get some gruff, but it doesn't matter. I don't shoot one because it doesn't fit my hand like a Colt does. My experience with them is about the same as far as precision.
Thanks for this vid, and the much needed love for the Remmies. The NMA is my favourite pistol of all time, and I wish I could afford an original. Nevertheless, my Pietta repro is my personal favourite pistol (as might be obvious from my pic!), and I love blowing smoke with it, whether using powder and ball, or .45 Colt in my conversion cylinder (when I can find an ample supply of .45 Colt ammo, gee thanks, 2020!). In fact, I think I am gonna go bust some caps, later. See? You could be a motivational speaker... granted you don't get your spiel stolen by someone else!
You're welcome! Much appreciated.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Anytime, pard!
Pretty cool! Learn something new just about every week.
Glad to hear it!
They made a good piece. Wouldn't mind having a set myself!
Go for it.
Great episode Santee :D Even though im a huge fan of the Colts, the old remingtons are beautiful pieces of hardware :) Keep up the great work. Ohhh, love the laughter in the end ;)
Thank you, Bjorn! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm a Colt fan, too.
Some of us were graced with the name Remington due to our fathers either loving their products or being gunsmiths. My daddy happen to fall into both categories and hence why my middle name is Remington. Happy shooting everyone! :D
That is cool. I met a girl names Genesis the other day. I said, "Nice that your folks were 80s music fans."
She didn't get it.
Been looking at getting one for awhile. I always called the 'sail' the 'blade' though. Never really paid much attention to Remington old west revolvers until a few years ago. Nice elegance to them.
It may be called a "blade". I orginally heard them called a sail, and because it looks like a sail, it entered my vernacular. Yes, they have a streamlined look.
@@ArizonaGhostriders It mostlikey is called a sail (all evidence points to it). Someone said 'blade' to me when talking about things to look for. So that stuck to me. Either way I learned something new. Thanks.
Very nice. How many hand gun manufacturers coexisted during old west?
There were quite a few. Some smaller companies were making less expensive guns.
Thanks posting this. Last year I bought a Rem R51. Looked great but very prone to jams. Did not return it however and traded it for a s&w. Their shotguns today are fantastic. I sure hope they can survive.
Me too!
The Remington Family also produced one of the best illustrators/artists of the West - Frederic Remington. His work as well as his cousin's arms business are displayed at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming. I know its a bit of a hike during a pandemic from AZ to WY but so worth the effort!
I'd like to go one day....uh week.
@@ArizonaGhostriders combine it with Longmire Days which is an easy drive (from Cody to Buffalo WY) and you'd have a great trip and a lot of material! Longmire Days dates vary but will be announced next month for the summer of 2021.
