Remington 1875 Reviews

I love the Remington’s appearance and general finish. For looks alone, it has always appealed to me more than a SAA or any break barrel pistol.

I hate the grip shape, they flair out and are much MUCH too wide the bottom. This is not apparent in the pictures! It looks stupid and is very uncomfortable in your hand! The ivory grip panels look nice but they are super slippery, I plan to wet sand them with a white Scotchbrite pad to dull and roughen the finish a little (this is the same grit as OOOO steel wool). The Crossman cartridges I received look cheap, they do not have a machined finish, but an “as cast” rough appearance. Ditch the heat sealed clear plastic container - it is crazy difficult and a little dangerous to cut open! Include a nice heavy cardboard box with picture and logo on the outside! The sights are completely useless, historically accurate maybe, but completely invisible. I have not tried a Sharpie yet, that may help a little.

Fit and build quality seems just a little lower than my two Barra 7” pistols (Colt SAA and Smith Schofield). My gun would NOT shoot hard alloy pellets (Umarex Hypermax Field Line 5.2 grain). Those would sometimes jam part way down the hole in the cartridge and not enter the barrel at all. In pushing them out with a coated cleaning rod, I discovered that the inside of the holes is rough. Soft lead pellets will travel past those rough spots, but I doubt that it helps the accuracy at all. I prefer alloy pellets because they travel a lot faster, and they function perfectly in my Barra guns. This gun will not fit in an Allen 13” zipper sleeve like my Barra guns do, so I am using a soft universal tie-to-close pistol rug instead. This is a BIG revolver (mostly due to the fat grips). Of the three guns I mentioned, I much prefer the Schofield, it is delightful, and I plan to add a newly available rifled .177 barrel to it. I doubt that I will shoot the Crossman Remington very much.

Fantastic replica. Very good build quality, especially at this price point. Shoots to point of aim at 10 yards. And the fast shipping option was very fast.

Nothing, other than the country I live in.

Great finish, precision, and strength in the shots, I really like having this in my collection.

I wish it came with a box and not in a cheap plastic

I was in doubt if it would be a good purchase, but after I received it, it simply surprised me

Super product in every respect. Great trigger and accurate. Just plain fun to shoot! Always recommend PYRAMYD’s 10 for 10 function test with each purchase!

Wouldn’t necessarily change anything.

PYRAMYD has always been a real pleasure and reliable to do business with for many years!

+Very pretty and shiny like chrome! +Works much like the real thing, eject rod and all. +comes with bb and pellet shells. +Realistic accuracy (aka not that accurate)

-Not accurate (not a huge downside to me but might be to others)

Probably my favorite looking airgun I own. It 's very much like an old revolver, requiring you to load one bullet at a time with a manually revolving cylinder and a ejecting rod, which is fun to use but maybe not the most practical to some. It has BEAUTIFUL ingrained iron sights, though they're kinda useless as this gun is probably the least accurate airgun I own, even with pellets (Fires hard right and high). If you like shiny chrome and old functioning revolvers this is a good one to own. Not recommended just for the looks.

The look, feel, weight

The scratched handle and the I would put the screw on the inside of the handle

No

I like the gun so much. I gave one to each of my sons for their birthdays.

Maybe rifle the barrel.

If you want the feel of a western six shooter this is it.

Very well built, with the heft and feel of its big bore brethren. Of all my "Old West" air guns (Schofields and Colt SAAs), this one fits my pig paws the best. Functioning, thus far (about 200 rounds), has been flawless, and I've had no issues using either the BB or pellet cartridges, accuracy has been about the same with either - it's a can killer at 10-15 feet!

Ditch the plastic packaging...please!

Good shootin' cowboy gun!

Solid revolver great design.

Instead of Crosman cartridges Don Wesson 715 pellet cartridges works perfectly.

For those that have problems with gun .change cartridges to Don Wesson 715 pellet cartridges. It will work perfectly no jamming. Higher fps.with light pellets study 380 to 400 .

Great looking gun. Feels and when being cocked, it sounds like my Colt .44. Fantastic finish, saw no blemishes.

Needed to put black "Sharpie Permanent Marker" on the front sight so I could distinguish it from the rear sight groove.

Check with your local Police about shooting "weapons" in your area. Most don't allow it.

I love the entire gun from build quality to chrome finish ,

Trigger

The trigger is extremely hard ! Looks like the mechanism are grinding!

excellent quality

Feels great, looks great, shoots awesome. I was getting less than half inch groups, same as my pellet shooting Colts. The nickel finish is fantastic. Only reason it didnt get 5 stars, I have now put 300 rounds through it and the rubber grommets that hold the bb's in the shells are becoming looser, resulting in a little less accuracy. But this isnt obviously a competition pistol so, not a big deal, but I do worry how much longer the shells will hold the bb's before they slip right through.

Make the BB shells front loading like the Schofield ones and be able to buy extra BB shells for it, none are available to buy.

Use a cloth to wipe finger prints off as the nickel is hard to keep clean, but if you are fan of the real steel, definitely a great replica to add to the collection.

apperance and construction

fix it to shoot pellets (tried 5 brands, none worked

this is NOT duel ammo, it will not shoot pellets and is not good with steel BBS

First let me say this is a great company with even greater employees. This is my second purchase of a firearm. The authenticity of this fire arm, size, weight and appearance is 100%. The operation is almost perfect (see below). I also own the SNR .357 handgun which is absolutely perfect, in my opinion.

My only comment (which does not make the firearm inaccurate of work poorly) is that the cylinder does not seem to align when unloading the ammo. You have to give it a a slight turn for the ammo to slide out. The ammo will then just fall out without having to use the plunger. It might be necessary but it just would be more realistic if you did not have to make that slight turn.

No all else is perfect - Buy it !!

shoots nice

pretty nice for a pellet pistol six shooter

slow loading which is to be expected

Looks nice, shoots good, fun to shoot.

The grits are slip.

It's a great looking gun feel nice.

Feels like it's a real forearm.Very accurate.And price was great.

Nothing

Bought 2 packs of extra bullets.the workings are the same as original 1875.except it has a small safety hidden under the trigger guard. .

Its cool. I shoot it with my Colt. I own the real ones & these are fun to shoot cans in yard. They're authentic looking feel almost like the real ones. Attention to detail is very good especially the faux rifling in the muzzle. Accurate for a Cowboy CO2 pistol.

Nothing to change. Awesome play toys.

Buy more than one!

This is s beautiful revolver! I Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. But even if it was a non-firing replics, it would be worth the cist

Barrel should be 7" long
