Taylors and Company 550833 1858 Remington Break Open 44 Cal Striker Fire 5.50" 6rd Blued Walnut Grip

The Taylors & Company 1858 Remington Break Open .44 Cal revolver brings authentic black powder shooting to modern enthusiasts who want the tactile experience and mechanical simplicity of nineteenth-century percussion firearms. This is a faithful reproduction of the legendary Remington design—one of the most iconic military revolvers of the Civil War era—chambered in .44 caliber and built with the fit and finish that serious black powder shooters expect. Whether you're competing in period-correct events, hunting with traditional methods, or simply exploring the heritage of American firearms, this break-open revolver delivers the classic feel and reliable function that make historical calibers rewarding to shoot.

Built on a steel frame with a 5.5-inch octagonal barrel, this six-shot cylinder revolver balances historical accuracy with practical handling. The blued steel finish and walnut grips give it the look of an original while modern manufacturing ensures consistent lockup and ignition. The break-open design allows you to remove the cylinder and barrel assembly for easy loading and cleaning—a practical feature that speeds up the reload process when you're at the range or in the field.

Black powder shooting demands respect for detail and procedure, and this Remington reproduction rewards that commitment. The .44 caliber is a popular choice among traditional shooters for its balance of power and manageable recoil, and the six-round capacity gives you multiple shots without stopping to reload the cylinder. This is the kind of revolver that teaches you to shoot deliberately and helps you appreciate why percussion firearms dominated for half a century.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a black powder or cartridge revolver?

This is a black powder percussion revolver. It uses loose black powder, round balls, and percussion caps—the traditional three-component loading method. It is not a modern cartridge firearm.

What does "break-open" mean on this revolver?

The break-open action allows you to separate the cylinder and barrel assembly from the frame, making it much faster and easier to load individual chambers and clean the gun after shooting. This is a practical feature that distinguishes this design from fixed-cylinder percussion revolvers.

Is this revolver legal to own?

Black powder percussion firearms are generally regulated differently than modern cartridge guns—many states and jurisdictions have fewer restrictions on their purchase and ownership. However, laws vary by location. We strongly recommend checking your local and state regulations before ordering.
