Remington-Beals 2nd Model

Remington-Beals 2nd Model Story

The success of the Remington-Beals 1st Model pocket revolver spawned a successor called the Remington-Beals 2nd Model. Fordyce Beals was the man behind the design and named the product after him.

In the new product, the "spur" (button-operated) trigger replaces the more traditional trigger and has a redesigned hammer. Now also available with walnut or checkered rubber grips. The second model still supports .31 rounds, also fired from a five-round rotating cylinder (detonator drive). The barrel is octagonal and 3 inches long.

The design quality of the straight stab trigger results in better camouflage performance.

The 2nd model gun was used in the American Civil War (1861-1865). The guns were made at the Remington Armory in Ilion, New York.

The Remington-Beals 2nd Model was followed by the third entry in the series - this became the Remington-Beals 3rd Model pocket revolver, described elsewhere on this page.
