Few days ago, I shot some poor Colt replica revolver which brought memories for 1858 Remington replica I had 30 years ago or so.

So now, I am thinking about buying one. I really don't need it, I like to shoot it and I like this revolver at all.

Of course, if possible, I would like to have original one in great condition. But it will be unavailable or scary expensive.

So what Remington pattern revolver replica is best today on the market?

I am thinking of Pedersoli custom model. But it is what I know hard chromed and not black and I am not sure I can live with that.




Any other high end replica options out there?

Uberti makes a nice one + if so interested, you can get a replacement cylinder to shoot 45 LC. (moderate loading, of course.) I see a lot of the guys on the Uberti forum have done so.

The Pedersoli would be very hard to top. I have had Piettas and Ubertis and prefer the Uberti after comparing both to an original.

Update:

Pedersoli now up to 5 months delivery time, no way to shoot it or even just look at it prior to order.

Jiri, what's your turnaround time on the Uberti?

I have to check. I believe some are on stock.

Jiri, if you find one you like and wish to hunt with it, the "Kaido" bullet mold is a good choice.
