A faithful reproduction of a percussion revolver, originally crafted by the iconic American manufacturer Remington. The 1858 New Texas variant is a 6-shot black powder revolver with a closed-frame and muzzle loading. The Remington 1858 marked the first use of a closed frame in revolver construction, providing significantly extended durability compared to the rival Colt models.
Featuring a .44 caliber, 8-inch barrel, the revolver integrates a closed frame and trigger guard made from polished brass, while the steel barrel and cylinder are finished with black oxide. The grip is crafted from high-quality walnut wood.
Equipped with mechanical sights, the firearm utilizes a fixed front sight and a rear sight. Operating with a Single Action trigger, the hammer must be manually cocked before every discharge. The cocking system offers two settings: half-cock for placing percussion caps, and full-cock for firing.
Mounted under the barrel is a hinged ramrod (punch) designed for loading lead bullets into the chambers.

Militaria.pl is a premium dealer of Pietta.
F.lli Pietta is an Italian manufacturer from Brescia, founded in 1963 by Giuseppe Pietta, which has combined tradition with precision craftsmanship from the very beginning. In 1966, the first shotguns were produced, and by 1974, the company had gained international recognition by fulfilling a contract for 10 000 replicas of revolvers such as the 1851 Navy, Colt Army, Remington, Paterson, and Le Mat. This success cemented Pietta's position as a specialist in faithful reconstructions of 19th-century weapons. The brand was one of the first to introduce the "100% made in Italy" label, emphasizing the quality of its products. Today, run by the founder's sons, Alessandro and Alberto, it is one of the most respected manufacturers of historical replicas, chosen by collectors, reenactors, and shooting enthusiasts around the world.

The revolver meets my expectations - my next purchase will be an extra cylinder, and I think I'll buy a revolver rifle in the future. I'm not skilled yet and it's a bit hard for me to put the cylinder in - you have to find the point where it clicks into the axis.

The revolver is well made, solid, and at a good price. To sum up, a real piece. The only small drawback is that it's a bit hard to insert the cylinder, unless I just lack skill.
-
The cheapest version of a black powder revolver, but it does not fall behind its more expensive brothers in quality. If someone wants to start having fun with black powder guns, this will be a good choice.

Good price, decent quality, overall 5 stars.

The mechanism works sort of okay, although I was a bit surprised because in the pictures the revolver looked different with engraved details, and the grips were a different color. In reality, there’s no engraving and the grips are at least made of pine; you can tell it's a Pietta. I'll let you know how it shoots—so far I'm a bit afraid XD.
