Remington 1863 New Model Police revolver do we need it?

[woodnbow]

I’m starting a thread on this revolver as a sort of petition for those of us who feel there’s a large gap between the Army and the Pocket model Remington replicas available to us. I’ll forward the results to the two major replica manufacturers, Pietta and UbertI asking that they consider this undertaking. Please respond with a yes please or no, and a brief statement telling us why we do or don’t need this replica.

I think Pietta is the only one making a Remington spur trigger. I honestly don't see a need for it but I'm sure there's those that do.

The model I’m thinking of isn’t that…

 

[hawg]

That's a New Model Police. Yeah I think there's a place for them. I wouldn't mind having a Colt Police. Again I think Pietta is the only one making them.

 

[Captain*kirk]

Yeah, as long as Pietta doesn't try to build it on an army frame.

Uberti makes the only Police model which is a five shooter like these Remington Police models. Pietta calls its short barreled 36 a police model but it’s built on the Navy frame.

Remington did so many things right with the Police model.

Unless I'm mistaken which is entirely possible the only police model Uberti makes is a Colt.

Exactly. Why Pietta nor Uberti have seen fit to give us a Remington Police replica is beyond me. I bet they’d sell like hotcakes.

Obviously they think otherwise. It would mean tooling up for it which isn't cheap.

I'll buy either one who makes it first. Its badly needed and desired by bp shooters all around the world.

 

[shootemup58]

Yes please but it does have to be on the New Model Police frame and five shot like the origanals.

I would rather see a Whitney Revolver offered again.

Pietta does not make a Police model NMA. They make a .36 caliber NMA that is a 6 shot, but on the same frame as the .44 NMA repros, not a 5 shot .36 on a smaller frame

And their '61 uses the '60 barrel bored to .36, too long by a 1/2" and too heavy.

Obviously they think otherwise. It would mean tooling up for it which isn't cheap.

People would buy a small frame .36 with a standard trigger over a .31 revolver with a sput trigger.

I'd like to see a repro of the Adams revolver and a real repro of the Allen pepperbox pistol with the DAO trigger.

Unlikely, but maybe someday.
