Remington 1890: A Half-Hearted Attempt to Dethrone the Colt SAA
The Remington Model 1890 was a late attempt to compete with the Colt Single Action Army, built upon the less successful Model 1875. It featured a modified frame to better mimic the Colt's profile and was chambered in .44-40 Winchester. Despite its historical context and connection to Winchester's market strategy, the 1890 was a commercial failure due to the market's shift towards double-action revolvers and Colt's established dominance.
