I've never been a fan of the Remingtons. I've had a few - with conversion cylinders - and still have a couple; but they just don't fit my hands the way a Colt does.

I also have a pair of 5 1/2 inch Old Armies that I use from time to time. The grips are as close to a Colt as to be indistinguishable. They're a little heavy; but you'll never wear one out.
