This video details the Remington Split Breech carbine, a precursor to the Rolling Block. It covers its patent history involving Geiger and Rider, production challenges during the Civil War leading to Savage manufacturing, and differences between the .44 Rimfire and .50-45 (56-50 Spencer) models. The review also touches on mechanical operation, markings, sights, and post-war resale to France.
The Remington-Rider Magazine Pistol, patented in 1871 by Joseph Rider, was a compact, tube-magazine-fed repeating handgun produced until 1888. It fired .32 Extra Short Rimfire cartridges and was designed as a gentleman's pocket pistol, featuring a unique lever-action mechanism. Despite its commercial success with approximately 15,000 units made, it remains a rare American example of a tube-fed pistol.
