On January 4, 1847, Samuel Colt rescues the future of his faltering gun company
Before Colt began mass-producing his popular revolvers in 1847, handguns had no
That began to change when Samuel Colt patented his percussion-repeating revolve
Though still far less accurate than a well-made hunting rifle, the Colt revolve
Yet most cowboys, gamblers and gunslingers could never have afforded such a rev
Though never cheap, by the early 1850s, Colt revolvers were inexpensive enough
