Colt Single-Action Revolvers

In the American west during the mid-19th Century, an expression was created that stated: ‘God created man and Sam Colt made them equal’.

This was a reference to the revolvers designed and produced by a man who became a byword for handguns and the weapons, in turn, became legends in their own time. This book tells the story of the revolvers which made the west and today are the images of so many western films, such as The Outlaw Josie Wales. The author takes the reader on an historical journey from Colt’s idea, through the design to the actual creation of the weapon. This book is full of facts and anecdotes that will satisfy any historical weapons enthusiast. It will also satisfy collectors with cut-away diagrams, photographs along with early advertising images
