Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Remington Model 1875 Single Action Army (a.k.a. Improved Army or Frontier Army) was a revolver by E. Remington & Sons. It was based upon the successful New Model Army (Remington Model 1858), with both revolvers having the same size, appearance, and removable cylinder. The new 1875 Remington differed mainly from the older 1858 percussion model by having a bored-through cylinder chambered for metallic cartridges. Thus 1875, Remington entered the cartridge revolver market with this big-frame, army-style revolver intended to compete with the Colt Peacemaker.
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Remington Model 1875 Single Action Army (a.k.a. Improved Army or Frontier Army) was a revolver by E. Remington & Sons. It was based upon the successful New Model Army (Remington Model 1858), with both revolvers having the same size, appearance, and removable cylinder. The new 1875 Remington differed mainly from the older 1858 percussion model by having a bored-through cylinder chambered for metallic cartridges. Thus 1875, Remington entered the cartridge revolver market with this big-frame, army-style revolver intended to compete with the Colt Peacemaker.
Introduced to compete with Colt's single-action Army revolvers, this Remington design failed to meet with the commercial success made by Colt's model due to the Hartford firm's two-year head start in production and sales. Also known as the "Improved Army" or "Frontier Army" revolver, this single-action was a competitor to Colt's popular Single Action Army line. By the time of its introduction, however, Colt had already secured contracts with the U.S. Army, and Remington was forced to seek other markets. The U.S. government purchased fewer than 650 for use by Indian police, and another 1,000 were sold to the Mexican government circa 1880. The Egyptian government contracted for the delivery of 10,000, but few were produced and delivered due to significant unpaid debts owed by the Egyptians for rolling-block rifles.
Between 25,000 and 30,000 were manufactured during the years 1875–1889 in three different chamberings: .44 Remington Centerfire, .44-40, and .45 caliber. These were not optional; rather, the caliber of production models was determined by their date of manufacture. .45 caliber cylinders were slightly longer to prevent accidental insertion into a .44 frame. Standard features included a fluted cylinder, walnut grip panels, a blued or nickel-plated finish with a case-hardened hammer and loading gate, and a lanyard ring. Standard barrel length was 7 1⁄2 inches (190 mm), although very few revolvers were produced with 5 3⁄4-inch (150 mm) barrels.
