      This one is a Remington , full frame with a top strap - which is why   
   I chose this one . Dad liked mine so much he got one in .44 - looking at   
   the box Dad's came in it says "Remington 1858 style steel frame   
   revolver" . Colts have the barrel retained by a wedge if I understand   
   correctly .
