Remington's revolver featured a special frame "strap" above the cylinder, improving the structure and giving a unique look when compared to Colt revolvers. The New Army had a unique feature in which it could be chambered in .31", .36", and .44" (standard caliber), and was converted to be chambered in .32" rimfire, .38" centerfire, .38" rimfire, and .46" rimfire. Produced with a weight of 2 lbs, and 13.5 inches of total length, it was one of the lightest revolvers of its era. Models were produced in single-action or double-action.
