Experience one of the most accurate and battle-proven cap-and-ball revolvers of the 19th century in a premium stainless package. The Pietta 1858 Remington Army .44 Cal pairs the legendary solid-frame Remington design with a fully stainless steel frame, cylinder, and 8" octagon barrel for corrosion resistance, easy maintenance, and a timeless look. A warm walnut grip and brass trigger guard complete the classic aesthetic while delivering confidence and comfort at the range, on the ranch, or in living-history reenactments.

Why Choose the Pietta 1858 Remington Army (Stainless)

• Iconic Solid-Topstrap Frame: The 1858’s robust topstrap improves lockup, durability, and repeatable accuracy over open-top designs—one reason it earned a sterling reputation in the Civil War era.

• All-Stainless Construction: Stainless frame, cylinder, and barrel resist pitting from black-powder fouling and make clean-up faster and more forgiving.

• 8" Octagon Barrel: Classic octagon profile with a long sight radius that promotes steady holds and authentic period balance.

• Smooth Walnut Grip: Carefully finished walnut provides a natural index and ages beautifully, enhancing both control and appearance.

• Brass Trigger Guard: Heritage-correct accent with a comfortable, gloved-hand friendly opening for year-round shooting.

• Single-Action Precision: Crisp single-action trigger helps deliver tight groups with round ball or conical projectiles.

Real-World Benefits You’ll Notice

• Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel tolerates humid climates and makes post-shoot cleaning simpler—ideal for frequent black-powder use.

• Consistent Timing & Lockup: Pietta’s modern machining promotes reliable cylinder alignment and smooth cycling.

• Quick Cylinder Swaps: The 1858 pattern allows relatively fast cylinder removal (where lawful) for cleaning or prepped spare cylinders at the range.

• Balanced Recoil: The .44 cap-and-ball platform offers classic recoil with controllable muzzle rise for enjoyable sessions.

Ideal For

• Black-Powder Enthusiasts: Authentic loading ritual with the durability of stainless steel.

• Reenactors & Collectors: Period-correct lines with upgraded materials for longevity.

• Range & Recreational Shooting: Accurate and satisfying plinking with historical flair (observe all black-powder safety rules).

Loading & Operation (Overview)

Always follow the owner’s manual and use proven, published loads. Wear eye/ear protection.

1. Measure powder (real black powder or approved substitute) for each chamber.

2. Seat projectile: Place a lubricated .44 caliber round ball or conical over the charge using the built-in rammer.

3. Lube or wad: Add a felt wad or over-ball lube to manage fouling and help prevent chainfires.

4. Cap each nipple with the correct percussion cap size at half-cock.

5. Fire single-action: Cock the hammer for each shot; keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times.

Cleaning & Care (Black-Powder Essentials)

• Clean the same day: Black-powder residue is corrosive. Use warm, soapy water or a black-powder solvent on the barrel, cylinder, nipples, and arbor.

• Dry completely: Follow with a light coat of oil on steel surfaces; use a tiny dab of anti-seize or grease on threads as recommended.

• Check screws & nipples: Re-snug after cleaning; replace worn caps/nipples as needed.

• Store responsibly: Lightly oiled, uncapped, in a dry environment.

Safety & Compliance

• Know your local laws: Purchase, possession, transport, and hunting use for black-powder arms vary by jurisdiction.

• Use correct components: The proper cap size, projectile diameter, and powder charge are critical to reliability and safety.

• Treat it like any firearm: Keep the muzzle pointed safely, finger off the trigger until sights are on target, and follow range rules.
