The Remington 1875 has always been a cool revolver in my book. And now you got this one, you might have to make Barry Pepper's holster he wore in True Grit (2010).
I have probably, at one time or another, owned just about every type of single action there is except for the 1875. I haven't culled them by any means, I just haven't ran into a good buy when I was in the gun buying mood. However; I do have several Cimarrons, and must say their guns are usually a little higher standard than most and the people there are great to deal with. Mike Harvey is the President there and is just an awesome guy in my book. As always, I enjoyed the video. I will be keeping my eye out for the holster video that we all know is coming sooner or later
I'm a fan of Cimarron myself. I have some disagreements with some of their products but it may just be copyright issues and I can forgive that. I want to make sure I do the right holster for this gun, but I haven't made a decision just yet. Thanks for watching!
i am surprised I always thought that would have fit in a Remington New Model Army holster. Makes sense that it doesn't tho with that ejector. Congrats on the new toy and I really do hope you film-making the new holster... I love the holster videos
My 1875 in 357 has had a nasty habit of breaking ejector rods. Where the rod meets the nut is a weak point. I'd suggest buying a replacement. I've also had a few other issues, but do like the gun.
That's odd, are your rounds getting stuck in the cylinder? My empties seem to fall out or just need a gentle tap and they let loose. I don't believe I've ever seen a broken ejector rod on a revolver, unless it was dropped.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I think the problem started from using steel case ammo and it bent/ broke the ejector. I'm now on my second or third ejector and I've been being fairly delicate. I suspect the cylinder pin it might be a little bend now which is causing more force on the ejector. Any way, the connection of the ejector to the nut is a potential fragile point.
I have a 1875 in the 5 1/2" barrel. Absolutely love shooting it! I find that with the little bit of extra length in the frame to the grip if when I pull the trigger and it fires I let my arm and wrist roll with the recoil of the gun. That seams to keep it in my hand in the right grip. Mine is a 357 and even with the mag load it stays put in my hand. I shoot all my SAA Uberti's one handed duelist style. Have Uberti's 1873 in 4 3/4",and 5 1/2". Oh forgot LoL I slightly bend my shooting arm at the elbow. Not a lot just a little that helps with what I call the roll and also brings the sights up in line. Hope it helps enjoyed the video.
That is a really nice revolver and accurate right out of the box. I have always like the 1875 Remington but never bought one. I may have to look into one now. Bet you make a really handsome holster for that smoke wagon.
Based on the splits between head shots, I'd say the sight picture is more than sufficient for combat aiming, even one-handed. And at closer ranges, you can fan it from the hip or slip-fire while point shooting. Not that I recommend carrying this as your EDC, but just goes to show that these made good tools back in the day for lots of professions. Nice shooting.
Thanks. There are people that DO carry BP revolvers for EDC, and although there are better choices, they will do the job. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
I have the Uberti in nickel, beautiful but defective. As long as you get a good unit, you'll probably be fine, but if it's defective, be prepared for a long, long wait, and possibly no correction. I found Benelli/Stoeger/Uberti customer service very poor, taking nearly 3 months to not bother trying to duplicate my issue, eventually sending my gun back to me un-repaired.
Yours is the first video out of the six I've watched on the 1875 Remington clone that shows the safety in the hammer. While I'd rather have it true to the original, at least it isn't like the new internal hammer and floating pin safety in the Cattleman II 1873 Colt clone. Thanks for a good review. Now if I can find either the Uberti or Cimarron version (same thing, really). I like the blued and case color model.
Thanks! At least it doesn't take away from the looks of the firearm, and it does make it safer without any inconvenience. I have been looking for a nickel plated version myself. Thanks for watching!
I highly recommend cowboy guns! I would also recommend trying both a Colt and Remington style before you decide, if you can. Some people like one grip more than the other but it's a personal preference thing. Cimarron carries both models and they have lots of choices. Thanks for watching!
This is a copy and paste directly from the Pietta manual, available on the Cimarron website. (If I remember correctly, the 1875 Remington is made by Pietta. All manuals for the firearms Cimarron sells, are available on their website, free of charge) "USE ONLY FACTORY MADE AMMUNITION. THE MATERIALS OF THIS FIREARM HAVE BEEN SELECTED ACCORDING TO THE FACTORY MADE AMMUNITION PRESSURES. THE RIFLING AND THE CHAMBER SIZE OF THIS FIREARM HAVE BEEN SELECTED ACCORDING TO THE FACTORY MADE AMMUNITION SIZE." There may be other warnings for ammunition types located in the specific manuals for the firearm you are wanting to purchase. Read the manuals thoroughly and carefully, don't rely solely on what some guy on UA-cam says! Thanks for Watching!
Gracias amigo for the demo! 👍 I've never been a fan of the Remington Army's grip. Very awkward and unnatural feeling compared to the Colt revolver grip.
I posted a video on my channel of my most recent shooting session in April with my Uberti 1858 new model army revolver shooting HSM .45 LC 200 grain cowboy loads using my Howell .45 LC conversion cylinder shooting 5 shots in that session at a cantaloupe from about 30 feet away and I managed to hit the cantaloupe a few times. I tend to hit up to a few inches to the left and up to a few inches low at times
So that just has a safety notch. They didn’t put system where when you pull the trigger it engages a rod in the hammer that locks the firing pin? Like they did on the 1873 ?
They have several different systems for their pistols but it's a little more than the safety notch on a colt. The small piece under the firing pin toggles down somehow, it can be seen moving from the backside of the hammer when it engages. Thanks for watching!
A really good video would be you making a pair of old west style shotgun chaps. Like the ones you see on the movie broken trail or the 1883 show kinda like the pair the wade character wears. Or a pair if old west style woolies
I made a pair a long time ago for my CAS persona, just smooth black leather with turquoise and silver conchos. I'll make another pair someday. I want to make them like Tom Selleck's from either Quigley Down Under or Crossfire Trail, pretty much the same as you suggested. Thanks for watching!
I have one in .357Magnum, but I shoot .38Special. It is a beautiful firearm. My only problem is, the cross bolt for the base pin broke off. I have no idea how that happened. All I know is, until i get a replacement, I can't really shoot it. Because when I do, the ejector rod housing moves away from the frame You look pretty snazzy in that frock coat, by the way. It's too bad men don't wear them all the time anymore
I hope you get the parts you need soon. I really like the Cowboy guns. People tend to look at you funny when you dress that way these days. It's a shame, folks were classy back then. I'm guilty of the t-shirt and jeans look, most of the time. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
Have you tried to see how the Remington fits in your holsters you would normally use for a colt 7.5” barrel? I’ve looked at a few online that specifically advertise they will fit both the 1873 colt and 1875 outlaw but you mentioned it didn’t fit well with the 1858 holster you made.
@Small Caliber Arms Review Haha! No inappropriate reference. I've never looked at one in person, but the shape of the pistol just looks like a SAA with a wing/beard/fan attached. Thanks for the video.
They are neat looking and my experience shoot well. Great work!
I never really noticed the difference between a Remington and Colt grips before, but I think I like the Colt grip better. Thanks for watching Santee!

Holy shit that shiny one is Nice as hell.
It's stainless. Thanks for watching!
I've got a Pietta repro Army Remington in black powder.
It's my favorite shooter ever.
Black powder is a lot of fun! Thanks for watching!
Mine shoots like a laser gun!!! Fine build quality & very accurate.
I love the cowboy guns! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Richard.
You are very welcome
Just made a purchase on this firearm can’t wait to get to the range.
I think you'll enjoy it. Be safe and have fun!
Thank you very much. Have a blessed week. New Sub.
Thank you! You too! Thanks for the sub!

I have a pair of these in 44/40. They are great....highly recommend.
I became a fan of 44-40 when I got my Cimarron Model P. Great shooting round! Thanks for watching!

They do look pretty nice! Thanks for watching!

They were works of art as well as functional machines back in the day.
Very nice pistol thanks for the video

I have the 5 1/2 inch 1875 in 44-40 love shooting it with black powder like it was mint to be.
I'll bet that thing is sweet, I'm a big fan of 44-40. Thanks for watching!
Awesome Richard$ great vid
Thanks 👍
Awesome video Sir! Fine looking revolver and some really decent shooting! A big Yee-Haw from Texas!
Thanks! Yee-Haw!
You wearing a jacket like me Richard and nice western pistol
Cool, Thanks for watching Steven.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview you're welcome Richard. Someday when I go live I'll add you to the guest list after my family and I get a house first
Very nice looking revolver!
Thanks!
This looks like a sweet revolver. Do you recommend getting one? I want to get a single action with classic looks and some history behind it.
I highly recommend cowboy guns! I would also recommend trying both a Colt and Remington style before you decide, if you can. Some people like one grip more than the other but it's a personal preference thing. Cimarron carries both models and they have lots of choices. Thanks for watching!
I wished they'd make it in 44magnum
That'd be cool! Thanks for watching!
Is it rated for modern smokeless like Hornaday defense or strictly cowboy loads

Hello. SA only. Thanks for watching!
Dear Sir,
how do I purchase this weapon?
You would need to visit your local FFL. It is an actual firearm.
Have you tried to see how the Remington fits in your holsters you would normally use for a colt 7.5” barrel? I’ve looked at a few online that specifically advertise they will fit both the 1873 colt and 1875 outlaw but you mentioned it didn’t fit well with the 1858 holster you made.
I have not. I may have to give it a try. Thanks for watching!
Someone got big iron on his hip!
I'll need to make a holster for it first, right now I'll have to carry it in my hand. Thanks for watching!
I like the video a lot! It convinced me to purchase 1875 Outlaw; 5.5 in 357/38. Nice job!
Right on! Be safe and have fun with it! Thanks for watching too!
Everytime I go to there website all they have is two thousand dollar guns I guess I need a UA-cam channel to get one
The best place to find them is through a distributor like Davidsons Gallery of Guns.
Would you say this is closer to a Remington or a Colt with a beard? 🤣
I hope this isn't some reference that I'm totally missing, but I'm gonna say a Colt with a beard. Thanks for watching!
@Small Caliber Arms Review
Haha! No inappropriate reference. I've never looked at one in person, but the shape of the pistol just looks like a SAA with a wing/beard/fan attached.
