1875 outlaw grip

[Mississippi Sam]

Good afternoon all! 

I am interested in picking up an 1875 outlaw, but I'd like to get my mitts on the grip to see if it is a fit first.  Since the 1875 is a bit more difficult to come by than the 1858, I was wondering how similar the grips are to give a test squeeze.

Thanks all!

[Steel Horse Bailey]

I have an 1858 and an 1875:  They feel roughly the same to me.

thank steel horse!

[Steel Horse Bailey]

You're welcome.

Did you find one, yet, Sam?

I know where one is here in Indy at a VERY good price.  The dealer took it in trade.

[Mississippi Sam]

No I haven't, but I'm always a sucker for a good deal.  Can you send me the info?

Let me chime in on the opposite side.  I have a (Pietta?) 1875 Outlaw in .357, and a pair of (Uberti) 1858's.  The grips do not feel similar to me.  The 1875 feels "longer" from trigger to backstrap than the 1858's, and the curve in the 1875's grip doesn't feel as comfortable.  Of course, your mileage may vary considerably.

Here's the '75:



Here are the '58's:

Can there be one piece grips for the 1875?

Sixgun,

No as the grip is part of the receiver and you are not able (short of a bandsaw) to take it off as you can with the Colt and the Colt clones.

Fine shootin' irons, Dan'l.

As far as I know, the ONLY 1875 Remingtons have been from Uberti and the occasional Hartford Armory.  No Pietta.  Pietta has made MANY 1858s (actually 1863s).  I don't know where Uberti came up with the stoopid "Outlaw" name they use.  Maybe because Frank James is well-known to have favored one.  It's stupid, if ya ask me, and does a terrible injustice to a fine firearm.

Yep, that's the reason for the question-mark!  All I know is that my '75 has a pinched-post front sight (it is crooked, BTW), whereas all the Ubertis I've seen have a front blade sight.

I suppose we could actually refer to the Uberti 1875 replicas as being of what, three types?
Lets see there are the first types (let's fill in the production dates) with the correct or original type of cylinder pin latch. Probably with the "pinched post" type front sight.
Secondly we have the "pinched post" sight type with the cross pin latch (aka Colt type).
Then Third we have the blade type front sight and the cross pin latch.

We should start a pinned post where we can accumulate the dates that these changes occured and any additional changes that are note worthy
