The Good: Most of the gun is great. Fit and finish is fantastic. There is virtually no gap between barrel and cylinder so there is almost no blowback at all.

The solid frame, no-wedge-pin design — the much superior sight picture — the wide target-type trigger — the easy breakdown and reassembly — this is simply a “better” gun than the Colt percussion revolver, in terms of function and ease of use. It is also highly accurate — just today I managed a 1.5″ group, center to center, at 25 yds., two-hand grip, with this Remington replica, using my standard load of Hodgdon Triple 7 FFF and .454 diameter Hornady swaged lead balls. I did have some ignition problems initially — apparently fixed now by use of Remington No. 10 caps and SlixShot nipples. The gun, out of the box, would often need a second strike to fir…
