The original 1858 Remington New Model Army Revolver was a .44-caliber cap-and-ball revolver widely used during the American Civil War and beyond. It was known for its solid-frame design, which was stronger and more durable than the Colt revolvers of the same era. This feature made it a favorite among soldiers and frontiersmen alike, as it was more reliable in rugged conditions.
The revolver was named after the year its patent was filed, though production began in the early 1860s. Its popularity extended into the Old West, where it became a trusted sidearm for lawmen, outlaws, and civilians alike.
