I'm a big Colt's BP Fan, and own one of each of the Colt models. '51 Navy, Walker, Whitneyville Dragoon, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd models and a '60 Army.
I just really love the handling characteristics of the Remington '58 New Army! It's lighter, handier feeling, and it spins on your trigger finger, like a SAA 1873. The shoot nice and are easier to load and clean.
I can see why, they were supposedly, more popular with Army Officers, than the Colts. It's a better made gun, and a stronger solid frame. Colt was just a better company for Marketing!
I like the Remmys so much, I bought a second one, after my stainless steel one, in Case Hardened frame with checkered stocks. I still have to shoot that one.
Yes, you need to get one! That's my vote!

I do not shoot pistols anylonger but from what I recall I would go for it and as for the Colt...you still have both hands?

I had a 1860 Army for years. My wife bought me a 1858 Remington for Father's Day one year. As mentioned, the Remington feels handier, has a stronger frame and better sights. Another problem at times with the 1860 is sometimes a spent cap would stick to the hammer nose. As you cock the hammer for the next shot, the spent cap sometimes would be pulled off the nipple and fall down into the works, causing a jam. Never had such a problem with the 1858. After shooting both revolvers side by side, I gave my 1860 to my nephew. Everyone likes different things, so try them both.

Cheffy, As I was reading everyones posts I noted the comment about the Cabelas sale. I cant seem to keep a cap and ball revolver long the Civil Wars boys are always talking me out of them. At present I do own a 1860 Colt 44. I like the Remington a lot better, to me it is the superior gun. I went and checked Cabelas sure enough there in the bargin cave there they were a truly good price ( the cheapest I have seen new one in awhile). Well while I was already there I just ordered me a new steel frame remington 44 even put it on special hurry shipping. I you want one better get it now, thats the best new price I have seen in a long time. Jump on it like I did you will not regret it hounddog
