Review for model:

Before buying, I looked at the revolver in the store and I have nothing bad to say – a pleasant construction, fits the hand perfectly. On the side, the service in Krakow was very nice and helpful, the gentlemen encourage further shopping ;)

Pietta has made a solid Remington. It hits hard, the steel is strong although the nipples are not necessarily so. 5.5 inches is just right to carry the gun at your waist. On the downside - the gap is noticeable and visible with the flash. Still, for those who want a throwing stick, it's definitely worth it, but not for amateurs because the recoil kicks hard and the .451 with 1g of powder is already deadly.

Review for model:

I am very satisfied. There’s not much to write. I added another Remington to the family, as always from Militaria.pl. I once had a problem with one revolver, the store solved it promptly. The next one is flawless. Waiting for a trip to the range. As for delivery, I won’t mention it, less than half a day passed.

Great little revolver with a short barrel, you could say it's pocket-sized. In general, it’s super accurate for a black powder gun, nice for beginners. I recommend it to everyone.

Solid build quality, the model is just right for your first shooting experience.

Immediate shipping as always at militaria, in my amateur opinion the revolver is very well made, indexing 6/6, alignment is very good, the gap is minimal and barely noticeable (so for me it's perfect), in summary I recommend it and please don't be afraid of Pietta's quality because I was personally charmed by it, now I just have to go to the shooting range :)

Very good product quality. The revolver is fully aligned, no looseness at all. Customer service at the highest level. I recommend!

The first purchased piece had a factory flaw, replaced with a perfect piece. I am very satisfied

It's not enough to say that the shipping was fast... ordered around 10pm, the next day in the afternoon the equipment is in my hands :) It looks great, you can feel the quality, wonderful stuff. That's what I expected. I can't wait to shoot :) As always, militaria.pl = full professionalism.

Excellent craftsmanship, fits great in the hand despite such a simple grip, very well preserved, the mechanism is a bit stiff for now but will probably loosen up. Overall, a great choice for a beginner, and express service from Militaria.pl!

It arrived yesterday. I'm not a firearms expert, but the build quality amazed me. I'm a realist and expected some flaws, but to my surprise, there were no scratches or mismatches. The equipment is perfect. For several years, I owned a Walther P-99, but it didn't give me as much fun as this revolver. I'm glad I took advantage of this store's offer, even though I saw it a bit cheaper elsewhere. What decided it? My previous purchases at the store, including Hatsan airguns.

Good for a start. Very good quality

This is my second Pietta. Contrary to what is said, I believe these are great revolvers. Super hard steel, straight barrel but without a crown which you can make yourself. Precise mechanisms, at first a bit stiff but after breaking in it's great. I modified my model for dynamic shooting and if you want to shoot that way, I recommend buying a few extra cylinders. The Remington design is very simple, which increases its reliability. It's an ideal choice for beginners.

The mechanism works perfectly. Piettas from the new series are surprising in their workmanship, and most importantly, they're made of much harder steel than Uberti.

The revolver is very well made. It fits well in the hand, light, very enjoyable to shoot, for me it’s a revelation... I recommend it to everyone interested in black powder shooting. PS. My wife also highly praises the Remington.
