The failure of the 1875 marked disaster for Remington arms, production of the Remington 1875 ended in around 1889 with around 25,000 and 30,000 made. Soon in 1890 Remington launched the Remington 1890 police which was almost identical to the 1875 but again this revolver failed in the market. Today replica's faithful to the original 1875 are being made by Uberti.
