Which '58 Remmie

If I was forced to only have only one it would be the Remington.

It is a better design with the top strap and the way the cylinder comes out. The thing feels more solid to me.

Mine seems to get less dirty than the Colt does as well. I think it is due to the angle of the caps on the '58 cylinder. And the fact that every time a cylinder comes out the gun gets wiped down. I get no binding or gunking up issues like the Colt does.

I use a loading stand because the cylinder is so easy to remove. Reloading takes about half the time and is just easier for me to do. But it is workable enough to load using the loading lever.

The big thing is not messing with the wedge on the Colt
 
I shoot a Pietta "Shooter's model", with progressive rifling (just like the original Rem), it's thrice the price of the basic model or twice the price of the Uberti, but the finish is really sweet and the precision awesome. My Ubertis (Walker, Remington, 1862, Whitneyville Dragoon, Dragoon, SAA 45 LC) are for the fun, the Pietta for championships only

The Uberti gets my vote. I have a '58 Remmie and it has been a terrific gun. Probably the best shooting gun I own.
