Page 4 - Remington 1875 Reviews

I have a new respect for those who had to carry them and aim quickly, the weight of the gun matches what I remember from an reenactment I attended. This replica is well made and I find it very accurate. I

I like how the gas cylinder is in the handle. I had a Navy style pellet gun by Crosman a few years ago and the placement of the gas cylinder made that gun's appearance odd looking.

found the BBs worked in either style cartridge holder. Did not try the .177 pellets in the BB cartridge though

It is a very nice and accurately reproduced gun. It is also very accurate for a pistol especially since it does not have a rifled barrel!

It should have come in a nice box like the Colt revolvers, not a plastic shrink-wrap. It should have a rifle barrel since that shoots pellets. The bullet cartridges should be interchangeable with the Colt bullet cartridges, which they are not. The cylinder should not have open spaces between each bullet, which detracts slightly from its realism, which is not a real big deal but you do not see this on any of the Colt models!

After three co2 cartridges. 1. Grouping excellent-with both pellets and bb's So, this is an OK gun. Good for your collection. But, if I had it to do over, I would have bought another COLT. Probably the new LEGENDS Ace-In-The-Hole.

1. Put it in a nice box. 2. cylinder not as nice as COLT- open between cartridges. a more solid cylinder would probably do away with that tinny sound. 3. Install allen wrench in handle - like colt. 4. Tinny sound when cocking-not as smooth as the umarex colts. Sound comes from the cylinder locking pin. 5. Had 6 misfires with the pellets- They got stuck in the pellet cartridge-None with the bb's in BB cartridges. Colts are better-So if you don't have a colt, get a colt before the REMINGTON. 6. Packaging sucks. Don't know how, but I cut my arm opening the pack. I was very careful and still cut myself and did not realize it until I saw the blood. WTH!

Very well made for a CO2 B.B. gun , fit and finish is very well done,weight and balance perfect for a single action western style revolver. Functions like the real pistol and accurate for a CO2 B.B. gun with a smooth bore barrel out to about 30 ft considering open sights are used. Love this gun and is fun to shoot.

pistol needed to be lubed on all metal to metal moving parts ,once done pistol functioned perfectly.very smooth action for a replica 1875 B.B. gun revolver.

One thing I did was to open up the CO2 manifold into the valve by using a very small drill , next size up from standard hole size, just seemed it needed a little more punch and needed to be cleared, seemed a little restricted.

This 1875 Remington Outlaw replica is much like the original. It is big, heavy, and replicates the handling of the actual firearm, without the recoil, of course. It is great for basement shooting, and as a Cowboy Action Shooter, gives me practice during those months that outside shooting isnt practical, or the weather isnt cooperating. It fits nicely in the leather I already own.

The only complaint is the same as with the other SAA revolvers, that the hammer is always at half cock. But, having gotten used to that foible with the Peacemakers, I dont really notice it much any more.

It is fairly economical as far its as use of CO2. I get 70 plus shots out of a cylinder. Its accurate at the distances I use it, about 20 feet, and I like that it uses cartridges loaded with BBs or pellets that load like the real thing.
Oh, and one last thing....it is HEAVY. Like the firearm it replicates, it is a sturdy weapon. I like that, and as a big guy, it fits me well. But it may be too heavy for some folks. It is significantly heavier than the Peacemaker version.
Enjoy!

looks, feel, and fun to shoot .period.

accuracy. not very accurate ,,bb's fly all over after 15 feet or so outdoors and 125 feet or so indoors ...but lots of fun

This is a great shooting revolver. Fit, finish, and function are great. Gun gets AAAAA+++++ I wish it would have came in a nice box like the Colts do. Also dont understand why the cylinder is hollowed out but it works well. The plastic blister pack is a cheap move by crosman. I have to spend extra $$$$ to get a case for it .

Put these bad boys in a cool box like they deserve. Also make the cylinder solid like the colt peacemakers.

It's a great gun for sure. Get it and you'll be glad you did. Loads of fun and you'll have a blast.

Nothing. I ordered this some time ago and very much looked forward to using it. Finally got the time and ... it was locked up, would not function at all. I read the instructions and noted the safety. Tried again with safety off and ... still locked up. BTW, what kind of ignorant idiot would put a safety on a revolver anyway?? Could not get the gun to function with any kind of manipulation. It is now in the dumpster where it belongs.

It would work..!!!

Obviously, other users have had different experiences. Mine illustrates there is some quality control issue. Good luck.

Very happy with purchase.

None

No

Well made, accurate and handles and feels like shooting the real gun

Hammer doesn't go all the way down

In my opinion, this revolver is an outstanding rendition of the real piece. My only issue is that the loading gate has slight side movement rather than being a tight fit; not sure of this is intentional or a flaw.

Just the above; to have the loading gate fit more snugly.

I have not yet fired this gun, so I cannot make any comments relative to its overall performance..

Looks,good trigger,the action is very smooth. The gun shoots accurate wit both types of ammo at 15-20 feet. Looks great in a slim him bolster next to my colt and schofield.

The package. I hate clam shells.

If you like the colt and schofield you got to have one of these .

Feel and appearance the finish is excellent

I would prefer a rifled barrel

It is a great gun to handle and shoot. very accurate

Very authentic weapon, all metal, fairly accurate at 10 yds. a very fun weapon to shoot

Better hand grips as the white plastic there looks cheap. Also, I would make the hammer sit closer to the body of the gun instead of the 1/8" or so it does now.

Weapon being all metal, is a bit heavy especially for a young shooter.

Quilty very well made

feel

barrel could be 5.5" long

no

This is an excellent BB repro of a classic Western Revolver. Everyone remembers the Colt Single Action Army, but Remington had its own guns to compete, and this was one of them. Nicely made with real heft, this is worth the money

If anything, how about a blued companion? Nickel plating was popular, for fure, but blue is nice too.

I like everything about it, it look , feels and fires just like the real thing without the recoil

I dont know, I cant think of anything

Love these, I bought a pair. The are about the same weight and barrel length of the real thing. I bought them to practice for Cowboy action shooting and they work great for that, I can practice in my back yard and not disturb the neighbors. Plus, they are fun to shoot.

Nothing

pay attention when you are buying the bb/pellet holder shell cases as they, like their real life counter parts don't all fit different guns.

Very good item, I am proud to have one in my collection
