Remington's compact 5-shot .31 caliber percussion revolver, competing with the Colt 1849 Pocket. The solid-frame Remington design was more robust than Colt's open-top frame at the expense of slightly greater weight. Popular with civilians and officers needing a compact backup revolver. The solid frame allowed conversion cylinders for metallic cartridges after the war.
