traditions Tradition's 1858 Remington New Army .44 Revolver is both a collector's piece and a rugged side arm. With its authentic 8" octagonal blued barrel, this .44-caliber single-action revolver hits its mark every time.

Uses 22 - 30/FFF round ball projectiles and 19 - 25/FFF conical bullets (not included).

  • 22 - 30/FFF round ball capacity for accuracy and consistency and 19 - 25/FFF conical bullets for greater knock-down power
  • 8" blued octagonal barrel with 1:30" twist accuracy
  • Single-action trigger for continual ease of use
  • Brass trigger guard helps prevent the revolver from firing accidentally
  • Fixed, top-strap sight helps improve your aim

    I have shot and carried one of these pistols Everytime I am in the Great Outdoors hiking and camping.The 1858 New Army is Well-Balanced and a Joy to Carry.When I am Around the Campfire at night,it makes a Great conversation piece about early Western Frontier History.It is Reliable and Accurate to Shoot.It's Beatiful to Look at and I Have a Hardtime putting It back in Its Holster.The Only thing I can complain about is the Wooden grip handle is Not long enough.My two small fingers slide under the bottom of the grip.This Black Powder Pistol is My All-Time Favorite Handgun that I Own.

    A brass framed Cap-and-Ball revolver will not last as well as a steel frame. The brass is too soft, and will eventually "shoot loose." Its better to spend the extra and buy a pistol with a full steel frame if you intend to actually fire it.

        Best Uses

        • Hunting

        Comments about Traditions 1858 Remington New Army .44 Revolver:

        First off this is a fun pistol. Shoots well and accurate. I don't understand people complaining about "HEAVY". The originals were not feather weights, & this is a copy of the original. If anything, the weight makes it a better shooter! If you enjoy black powder, you'll love this one!

        I love taking mine to yearly Wild Western get togethers too! It always gets attention.

        I am a retired black powder gunsmith, my gun purchase from you enabled me to get back into shooting and I had no guns for 23 years. I dislike the 1858 Remmington new model army due to the recesssed nipples prevent use of an inline capper. the gun is very heavy, but nice gun shoots to point of aim. I dislike the fact it is the only bp revlover you carry and your competitiors carry a full line.

          • A:

            Hi, There are several sources you can use, including Gander Mountain (which I would try first since they carry a great inventory of products). If you plan to do a lot of shooting, I would recommend getting a lead melting pot and gather up old wheel weights from local tire shops, as well as a single cavity or a two cavity bullet mold (either ball or conical)and a dipper and cast your own bullets.

          do u need a hand gun permit for this black powder pistol
          Asked on 1/3/2010 by Anonymous

          1 answer

          • A:

            You need to check the laws with the authority having jurisdiction in your location. Federal law does not consider this piece a firearm. HOWEVER much is at risk! For example, in New York State, with it's draconian set of codes and restrictions, the gun is OK for a wall hanger. But the minute you also have access to FFF or round ball you need a permit, no exceptions. If caught, you will be charged AT A MINIMUM with criminal possession of a weapon, 4th, A FELONY. You will loose ALL your guns forever (they will be melted down). As a felon you'll never legally own another gun.You will NEVER hunt or shoot again. Good luck finding gainful employment with a felony conviction. The mandatory MINIMUM sentencing is two years in state prison, and the judge has no discretion. It won't matter who you are or how much money you have. BP revolvers are a blast to shoot and this is a good deal on a nice piece. Please follow through on your local handgun regs before ruining your life over this offer.

          Is There a Large-Grip Version of the 1858 Remington New Army .44 caliber Revolver? I Have Man Sized Hands,the regular grip is too Short.

          • A:

            Theirs a reason for the short grip on any cowboy action revolver,your little finger is supposed to fall under the butt of the revolver in order to keep the weapon from rolling back in your hand from recoil, this is controlled by your small finger being under the butt of the pistol to.prevent it. Also quicker acquisition of your target & hammer in firing position.

            The grip on my gun are fine .
            I know many people like better the rubber grips but I believe that this kind of gun the rubber grips are no made for it .
            I do have rubber grips on my 22 caliber black powder revolver made by American Arms Company.It did make the 22 caliber revolver must better and easy to handling .
            Thanks.

          Can you get additional cylinders? Does it come as a kit with powder flask etc?

          • A:

            Yes, there are sources that carry cylinders. I would try Gander Mountain first and they do carry accessory packs for black powder rifles and pistols. I carry 3 loaded spare cylinders for my 1858 when I hunt (a lot of hogs and snakes in the area). Hope this answered your questions.

          • A:

            I do own one of these in stainless steel. It doesn't look as authentic but it sure does keep the gun from coroding and makes it easier to clean up. Look around for the SS version.
