Pietta 1858 Remington Army Features The Pietta 1858 Remington Army revolver is built entirely from stainless steel across its frame cylinder and octagon barrel offering a level of corrosion resistance that a traditional blued or case-hardened finish cannot match. This construction makes the revolver particularly well suited to black powder shooting where fouling and corrosive residue are a constant concern after firing. The single action only design keeps operation simple and reliable true to the mechanism of the original 1858 Remington. An 8 octagon barrel with a 1:3 twist rate stabilizes round ball and conical black powder projectiles for consistent accuracy on the range. At 14.6 overall and 2.75 lbs the revolver strikes a balance between heft for stable shooting and manageable size for handling and storage. Walnut grips provide a classic comfortable point of contact that contrasts nicely with the stainless finish while a polished brass trigger guard adds a traditional accent true to the era. This stainless build gives shooters a lower-maintenance alternative to traditional blued black powder revolvers without sacrificing historical styling. For black powder enthusiasts who want the classic 1858 Remington Army design with the added durability of stainless steel this Pietta revolver is a strong choice.
