The Taylors & Company 1858 Remington Conversion in .44-40 is a faithful recreation of one of the Old West's most iconic sidearms—reimagined as a cartridge-firing revolver. Built around the legendary 1858 Remington frame, this 8-inch blue revolver bridges the gap between traditional percussion pistols and practical, shootable firearms. If you're drawn to historical accuracy, Cowboy Action competitions, or simply want a substantial .44-40 six-shooter with genuine character, this conversion revolver delivers authenticity without compromise.
The octagonal 8-inch barrel gives this piece the profile serious collectors and sport shooters expect from a Remington conversion. That length strikes a real balance—long enough to deliver velocity and sight radius, short enough to handle comfortably from horseback or in a holster-draw scenario. The .44-40 cartridge itself is a legendary round: historically accurate to the 1870s-80s frontier, widely available today, and effective for period-appropriate sport shooting. Six-round capacity, classic blade front sight, and a traditionally appointed trigger guard and two-piece walnut grip complete a design that respects the original while functioning as a modern firearm.
This is a gun that rewards patience and proper technique. It's heavier than a modern compact (2.60 lbs), built to handle sustained shooting, and finished in blue steel that demands respect and care. Taylors & Company's conversions are known for solid construction and period-correct details—the kind of revolver that looks at home in a safe, on the range, or in the hands of a Cowboy Action shooter who respects the history behind the iron.

It's a medium-power round suitable for target shooting and sport use.
