Remington is known for three things: the Model 700 rifle, the 870 shotgun, and repeated bankruptcies. What they aren’t known for are their handguns, but they do have a fairly interesting history with handguns.

Today we are going to dive into the old era of Remington handguns, and in Part 2 we’ll cover the modern era.

Part 2: The Modern Era

The modern era of Remington pistols seems to follow the old era of Remington handguns. Namely, they never had a design that became an instant success. Some of the guns are arguably good, solid guns, but one helped put the nail in the coffin for the Remington we all grew up with. Let’s dig into the modern era of Remington handguns.

I gotta say @Talyn - You do truly find some of the most interesting stuff to post. I had absolutely no clue Remington ever made a handgun (meant to encompass both the revolvers and pistols). Do you search for these articals or do they just fall into your lap? I'm pretty sure we need to nominate you "Forum Historian". I think I've said it before, but if not, I do truly appreciate your contribution to my knowledge.

Thx! @Model 457

They do seem to fall into my lap, as you say.

I do a lot of research on my areas of interest, which includes military tech & history, amongst others, then I bump into something interesting out of the blue.

...on a number of topics.
 
I have an Uberti 1875 clone and really like it. If you notice, the grip sits just a little farther back than on the Colt/Ruger style single actions. This keeps the back of the trigger guard from slamming into the middle knuckle of my shooting hand. ;)

I also have a 1911R1. I think these guns are severely underrated. Mine is an outstanding shooter with the best out-of-the-box trigger I've ever felt. (y)
